So as the title suggests, having issues with issuing orders. Basically it goes something like this, I gave a boss unit an invisible weapon that starts a decision set every time it fires in order to do 1 of 5 abilities. It was working fine when it just fired the actual effects off, but I want to show the Boss as casting as well, that sort of thing, so thought okay I'll make it use abilities that point towards the effects instead.

However, I can't get the abilities to fire from using issue orders, no matter what combo of target/unit/player I use. I can verify that the 5 abilities are working as intended, they just aren't autofiring like I want them to. Tried to make it work for a few hours last night before giving up on it for the evening, hoping someone might be able to point out something I missed here.

I apologize for the lack of screenshots, example map, but I do have an outline of how the effects roughly work outlined at the top levels if any care to look, thanks in advance for any help!

Bumping this in hopes of getting a little more information. I'm not sure if this part matters or not, but all 5 abilities are instant abilities, they are not targeted.

That is what I am doing, at least I certainly thought I was. Perhaps I am missing a piece here, in order to have a unit use an ability I need to issue it an order to do so right? Or is there another way to do this I am missing?

@DrSuperEvil: Go

True, in fact as it is now it simply applies behaviors that casting actor models/sounds respond to, with expire effect being the intended effect. However it is still bothering me that I can't figure out how to get the Issue Order Effect to work at all here. It should be easy, but somehow I'm making it hard, all the effects don't need a target or any information, they contain themselves quite well, I just want to be able to make it work this way as a matter of principle now.

Knowing how to make this basic chain work would be grand:

Weapon: Effect StartSet

StartSet(Random Enabled; Min effect count = 1;Max effect count = 1)
Effects:
IssueOrder1-->Abil1
IssueOrder2-->Abil2
IssueOrder3-->Abil3

@DrSuperEvil: Go

I've tried using the correct command card index to no avail, command card was something like this:

0 Move
1 Attack
2 Hold Position
3 Abil1
4 Abil2
5 Abil3

So if I'm trying for Abil1 I should be using 3 right? I'm sure you are right about the caster/target of the issue order, why I'm looking for feedback here as to what to put in those slots.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

They are all Effect - Instant. All they do is start the effect chains I already made.
