To add to Lou Montana's note, use reveal command on the object you want to be detected with cursorTarget when pointing at it. Without it, distant units are most likely to return objNull even if you shoot and hit them.
Units that have been previously subjected to enableSimulation false; or enableSimulationGlobal false; may stay unrecognised for a long time even after simulation was re-enabled, returning objNull as cursorTarget. Force revealing units with reveal command usually solves the problem. For example:{player reveal _x} forEach allUnits;
