I'm trying to make the call the heard CaH special power fire without a target (like word of power) so it just effects units in a radius around you, so far this is what I've got and its not working.

Shelob.ini:

	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_ModuleTag_ShelobWebbingReplaceStarter
		SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityShelobWebbingTwo
		UpdateModuleStartsAttack	= Yes
		StartsPaused		 = No
	End	

	Behavior = ReplaceObjectUpdate ModuleTag_WordWeaponFireUpdate   
		SpecialPowerTemplate	= SpecialAbilityShelobWebbingTwo

		UnpackTime			  = 1700 
		PackTime				= 1	
		FreezeAfterTriggerDuration = 2500; Hold AI for this long after we fire.
		
		AwardXPForTriggering	= 0		
		StartAbilityRange		= 80.0
		
		ReplaceObject
			TargetObjectFilter = CREATE_A_HERO_WORD_OF_POULTRY_OBJECT_FILTER
			ReplacementObjectName = WebbedHumanoid
		End
		ReplaceRadius			= CREATE_A_HERO_WORD_OF_POULTRY_RADIUS_L2
		ReplaceFX				= FX_CreateAHeroReplaceObject
		Scatter					= Yes
	End


SpecialPower.ini:

SpecialPower SpecialAbilityShelobWebbingTwo
	Enum						   = SPECIAL_WORD_OF_POWER
	ReloadTime					   = 0
End


CommandButton.ini:

CommandButton Command_SpecialAbilityShelobWebbingTwo
  Command				 = SPECIAL_POWER 
  SpecialPower			= SpecialAbilityShelobWebbingTwo
;  Options				 = 
  TextLabel			   = CONTROLBAR:WordofPower
  ButtonImage			 = Gandolf_radcircle;HSGandalfWordOfPower
  ButtonBorderType		= ACTION 
  DescriptLabel		   = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipWordofPower
  AutoAbility			  = Yes
  PresetRange			  = 120.0
;  UnitSpecificSound	   = 
  InPalantir			  = Yes
End


CommandSet.ini:

CommandSet WildShelobCommandSet
	1	= Command_ToggleStance
	2	= Command_WildShelobInstillTerror
	3	= Command_WildShelobPoisonedStinger
	4	= Command_WildShelobTunnel
	5	= Command_SpecialAbilityShelobWebbingone
;	6	= Command_SpecialAbilityWildShelobEatGrab
	6	= Command_SpecialAbilityShelobWebbingTwo
	13	= Command_AttackMove
	14	= Command_Stop
End

	End
	
	Behavior = LifetimeUpdate ModuleTag_LifetimeUpdate
	// This one does the work, but the one in the horde displays the timer
		MinLifetime		= 120000

	End	

	  Behavior = SlowDeathBehavior ModuleTag_FadeDeath

End

Now I would have thought this would work but apparently not, anybody spot anything wrong with it or how to fix it?

Doing stuff like adding modules where they don't naturally belong can screw up your stuff. It wont give you an error message, but it wont work too well. Just sometimes, Im sure that you could make a hybrid somehow, it just doesnt seem to logical. Not tested, just a guess

Oh, and I have tried hybrids and they dont work too well
