[Crash] attack ground with orb

[Cheshire]

hey,

that "Ordering an artillery unit with an orb ability to attack-ground crashes the game".

I have a hero who can morph into having an artillery type attack and can attack ground. my map is altered melee and has all the standard melee orbs.

what is the best way to work around this crash? (I am using patch 1.31.1)

thanks!

Just use Damage Engine and trigger the relevant Orb effects.

how would you go about doing that? deleting all of the orb abilites and rewriting them?

Yes either that or just remove the effects of the items when the hero transforms.

I just started playing around with this to try to see what works, and the crash isn't happening. I am freely attacking ground while carrying orbs. Is it possible blizzard has fixed this, or is it an inconsistent bug, but happens enough that it's worth dealing with to be safe?

It was a guaranteed crash every time when you would give the Mortar Team an orb ability and had him attack ground. If this isn't happening any more then the bug is sorted.

then (at least in 1.31.1) it seems the bug is gone. thanks!
