What is a good dummy abillity

[mothmann]

I stopped using the editor for a long time and I cannot remember the name of the spell that can be used as a great dummy spell for triggers. I keep running into a problem using channel. I created 4 dummy spells from the channel ability and whenever my unit casts 1 of them it casts all 4 automatically. Which base ability can be used so that won't happen.

 

[gameman]

is it all based on the same ability?
maybe thats you prob

thats happened to me once

they were both based off of chain lightning

You're asking me what are some good abilities for dummy units.
Someone called Anitarf had created this list :

Here's an in no way complete list off the top of my mind:

-no target (fan of knives,...)
-no target area buff (roar, howl of terror, thunder clap,...)
-no target self buff (berserk (does not interrupt move orders),...)
-no target autocast (spirit touch, essence of blight...)
-no target self buff autocast (frenzy)
-no target channeled (starfall, tranquility(I think this one adds a buff))
-no target summon (spirit of vengeance (the one cast by the warden), book of the dead(item), summon bear,...)
-no target non stackable summon (feral spirit)
-no target summon that plays death animation (owl scout, summon water elemental, lava spawn)
-no target autocast summon (spirit of vengeance (the one cast by the avatar, needs corpses))
-no target autocast summon that plays death animation (raise dead, carrion beetles(both need corpses))
-no target morph (metamorphosis, chemical rage,...)
-single target instant (finger of pain,...)
-single target with projectile (shadow strike(shows damage numbers), storm bolt, fire bolt,(both stun)...)
-single target channeled (siphon mana, life drain, aerial shackes(stuns target),...)
-single target instant buff (unholy frenzy, lightning shield, frost armour,...)
-single target instant autocast buff (inner fire, bloodlust, faerie fire,...)
-single target buff with projectile (acid bomb, drunken haze(both can also affect nearby units),...)
-single or point target spell (shockwave)
-area target instant buff (silence)
-area target channeled (cloud, earthquake(deforms ground), death and decay, monsoon,...)
-area target summon (inferno, healing ward)
-point target summon (sentry ward, pocket factory)
-point target channeled summon(tornado)
-point target destructible summon (volcano)
-attack based autocast (searing arrows, frost arrows, black arrow, orb of annihilation,... )
-attack based passive (slow poison, cold attack,...)
-aura (devotion, brilliance, unholy, endurance, vampiric, thorns, trueshot, command...)

if you based them off channel you can change the Order ID so this doesn't happen just change the
Data - Base Order ID
