Locust auto cast

For the record, the reason why the autocast isnt working is probably because of the nature of auto cast spells, they are basically triggers inside spells, without the triggers... sortof.

For example, Inner Fire is only auto cast when a nearby allied unit is attacked, raise is cast when a corpse comes within range, fire arrows (and all similar on attack auto casts) occur only when the unit attacks (duh), etc. So if you're locust unit has a spell set to auto cast, and its a spell that only triggers the auto cast when its attacked... its never gonna happen. So you might be better off using triggers, and if you have a look at a tutorial or two, you should be able to do it just fine, and very easily.

Though autocast spells work like that, Locusts seem to ignore any AI orders, and look for custom triggered orders.

Well obviously not, since they attack the crypt fiend's foes. They must have some, but limited, AI built into them.
