Ability based on AOvd should affect friendly heroes

[Barade]

I have created a unit ability based on AOvd and placed it inside a spellbook. When I cast the ability, it should affect friendly heroes, too. Isn't this the behaviour by default? How can I achieve this? Simply by adding Hero and Non-Hero to the target list?

some spells have hardcoded targets

Is there any other ability I could use or does it have to be a custom spell?

What spell is AOvd?

Big Bad Voodoo hero ability.

I just tested myself and it works on 1.31b without having to change anything. Put it in a spellbook and it affected allied heroes without any alterations to the targets list. Either it's a Reforged bug or you did something wrong.

It doesnt work because the spellbook belongs to a building. It works when I give the spellbook to an item and pick it up with a hero.
So any idea how it could work as the ability of a building?

When the building starts channeling, create a dummy unit and have it cast a BBV that only affects friendly non-player heroes. When channeling stops, remove the dummy.
