How come some spells can never be made to target friendly units? And is there anyway around this problem?

In my case, I got a spell based on thunderclap, but I can't make it give the buff to friendly units too

cant you just go to the Targets Allowed field in the ability editor and check friend?

It varies from spell to spell, some targets can be changed, some cannot. Makes me angry sometimes too, but there is always a way to make it work some other way.

YOu could probably use a trigger that gives the buff to anyone in a range of the unit... maybe, it might be a bit complicated

It could get complicated, yes, but if you know jass, that shouldn't be too difficult.

I've heard about "hardcoded" datas in the game. You cannot change them. As I see, for example you cannot target air unit with entangle.. And cannot attack structures with thunderclap... I think you can't help this in GUI, just with dummy spells + / triggers..

maybe base your ability off of something else, like war stomp or battle roar
