[Siretu]

What happens? Trigger error or nothing or something unexpected?

I'd guess the problem is that you're telling them to target the closest unit on the map. That unit is probably the unit itself. So you're telling it to attack move to it's own position.

Try to change the filter to uncheck self and/or allied.

 

[Druzzl]

ok, changed the filter to exclude self and ally, and still nothing, they don't even twitch when they spawn, just stand there like idiots...

 

[Siretu]

Try not excluding ally, in case they're somehow allied with your units. Also, in Periodic Order, try putting a debug message inside the "Pick each unit". See how many times it prints the message.

 

[Druzzl]

debug runs once per unit, every time the trigger fires, and every time a unit is spawned with the wave trigger, and none of them move (took ally off excluded also)

 

[Siretu]

Oh right. "(Any units in (Entire map) owned by player Any Player matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount)" does not have a reference to the picked unit, so when you exclude self, it doesn't understand that it has anything to do with the picked unit.

To fix this, try using "Units in region with alliance to player" instead and get all the units in the entire map with the alliance "Enemy" with the owner of (Picked Unit).

damn... i totally missed that too... got it to work, thanks!
