So i`m trying to script a boss. I want him to cast ground pound always if there is any enemy unit in 3 units arrea around him with 15s cd(I dont have any cost associated with it, just 15s cd. Also I have vortex ability, 5s cd, no cost, with 6 units arrea. Both skills arent working. Also is there any way to force unit to cast ability at a random location? Any idea why when I duplicated skill, the original skill name turned to the one from duplicate?
It is also worth mentioning that both that skills are duplicates of skills(one made by myself and one from the game) Ive checked requirements, validators, button requirement commands and everything looks fine.
I post ss with my current settings
Ty for answer, but i dont have HOTS :/, marking Auto cast initially on makes my unit use his abilities, but it uses now ground pound whenever its cd is off, there is no difference if my units are nearby.
I have Abort On Alliance Change on in flags as well as Excluded Player, Ally, Netrual in Auto Cast Filters.
Okay, didnt really know what Enumerate Area is here for, but it is working properly right now!
I shall try and post some of the trigger setup used by that boss.

Actions
- BEGIN BARRAGES
Reset Barrage Locations()
Do Missile Barrage(((Position of THE_ONE_KERRIGAN) offset by (Random real between 0.2 and 0.5) towards (Random angle) degrees))
General - Wait 1.5 Game Time seconds
Variable - Set RandomUmojanTarget = (Random Living unit from (Any units in S4- Spaceport Final Battle owned by player PLAYER_03_UMOJAN matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, Invulnerable, with at most Any Amount))
Do Missile Barrage((Position of RandomUmojanTarget))
General - Wait 1.5 Game Time seconds
Do Missile Barrage(((Position of THE_ONE_KERRIGAN) offset by (Random real between 0.2 and 0.5) towards (Random angle) degrees))
General - Wait 1.5 Game Time seconds
Variable - Set RandomUmojanTarget = (Random Living unit from (Any units in S4- Spaceport Final Battle owned by player PLAYER_03_UMOJAN matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, Invulnerable, with at most Any Amount))
Do Missile Barrage((Position of RandomUmojanTarget))
General - Wait 1.5 Game Time seconds
Do Missile Barrage(((Position of THE_ONE_KERRIGAN) offset by (Random real between 0.2 and 0.5) towards (Random angle) degrees))
General - Wait 1.5 Game Time seconds
Variable - Set RandomUmojanTarget = (Random Living unit from (Any units in S4- Spaceport Final Battle owned by player PLAYER_03_UMOJAN matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, Invulnerable, with at most Any Amount))
Do Missile Barrage((Position of RandomUmojanTarget))
- MISSILE BARRAGES COMPLETE
Do Missile Barrage
Options: Action
Return Type: (None)
Parameters
TargetPoint = No Point <Point>
Grammar Text: Do Missile Barrage(TargetPoint)
Hint Text: (None)
Custom Script Code
Local Variables
Actions
Unit - Order ARCHANGEL to ( Archangel - Fire Missile targeting TargetPoint) (After Existing Orders)
In short it picks a random location around the units and orders the ability/effect to be used at that point. You could use a create effect at point from unit action probably. Ask on the trigger forum for a better explanation.

ModeratorsDo like the archangel boss missile using triggers for the random stuff.
For the rest just use autocast with an Enummerate Area validator.

I dont understand much from what did you write. I used Random offset on periodic event, and I`m happy with the results.

ModeratorsThe archangel uses a mix of triggers and data. It gets a much higher degree of randomness than a periodic effect with random offsets.
