target unit of ability being cast

[KamiFlashedDODO]

why isnt it working...

i dont understand. i havent mapped for a long time. but im sure that nothing has changed so drastically as basic spell triggers dont work.

i have a trigger which is "a unit finished casting an ability" then the condition checks if its the right ability, then part of the trigger gives the targeted ability a custom value via the 'target unit of ability being cast' the rest of the trigger works. but this part doesnt.

is there a reason???? this used to always work for me....


edit: added the trigger:

Building Switch Gang 2
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Take Control (Custom)
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
 

                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        ((Owner of (Casting unit)) is in PlayerGroupArray_Gangs[(Integer A)]) Equal to True
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to UnitGroupArray_BuildingsByGang[(Integer A)]
                        Unit - Set the custom value of (Target unit of ability being cast) to (Integer A)
                        Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Casting unit)))) the text: |cff00ff00Success:|...
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing

Use 'Starts The Effect of an Ability' event instead.
