[Gummifrog]

How can i make a nice Attack system with Ranged and Meele weapons, i mean when i maybe click a its attack in front of me, and if there is a units it hits it and deal Dmg, and who i can maybe it with ranged to so its cast a arrow

Turn off the unit's attack in the object editor, and make dummy abilities using the 'a' hotkey, each of them tied to a trigger.

you could always trigger right click to attack ground with a slight splash so it hits there.. it works with melee as well..

I think most users uses the "Replace unit" action.
For example; Troll in DotA, he has a spell where he can either be Melee or Ranged.
To create this, you first make the spell, then a trigger like this:

A unit starts casting your spell, then you Replace the unit with another unit (of course, you must first create another unit that uses the same model and such as the casting unit). You must also set the levels, mana, hitpoints and such as variables, and then set the new units mana and such, to those values...

If u don't understand, or need an Example trigger, I'll fix it for you.

BaraBura, don't get yourself along with suppositions. DotA's Ranged and Melee form is based off "Bear Form" ability with an alternative unit type of main attack being ranged, but the model of the Troll, like the original one. Anyone can tell you this fact. Replace unit is really annoying and not that flexible to work with. I strongly recommend you used this function only in Single Player maps or custom "Charm" type spells that involve no timer.
