Attacking w/o doing dmg?

[Frostorm]

how do i make a unit do no damage yet still able to atk?
cuz when i set their dmg to 0 in the object editor, they lose their ability to atk

So they should attack but not have a real attack damage? For that use barrage and modify it. Thats for ranged units... Im not sure if you can designate that spell to make the unit use an animation. For stuff on barrage, here: http://clangs.org/index.php?showtopic=816 . Modify that to only one attack and it does no damage on the barrage so the unit has no attack but still "attatcks" so to speak. If thats not what you need, can we have an example of what you want? Like a map?

nope didnt work
i dont think it was wut i was looking for, my unit needs to have a normal attack (not an ability) like when u right click on an enemy he'll start attacking but i need him to do no dmg
i hope that was clear enuf or i can show u my map (dont think itll help tho)

I don't think there is a way to do this... sorry. Maybe someone else knows how but I don't. THe only thing I can think is to change it to no damage base and one die with one side on it. What do you need it for? If the unit your attacking is a switch or something that wouldnt be fighting back or whatever, you could change its defense to something REALLY high. But thats only if you could, which I really doubt is what is actually needed in your map.... so sorry, I don't know how.

i am making an ultimate, its based off locust swarm
the "locust" should atk stuff and i have a trigger where whenever a locust atks, it casts another custom abilty based off drunken haze onto it's target
now the trigger wont work if the locust doesnt atk the enemy...but i also want the locust to do zero dmg because all the dmg from this ultimate will come from a immolation type abilty from the actualy caster of this spell

Set the damage to 0.01. They will still attack, but the damage will be insignificant.

i think the image says all... ^^

to make -1 Damage Base you have to "Shift+Click/Enter" it.

zomg thx!!!

 

[HappyTauren]

wow.

in that case, i came up with interesting theory...
that would mean you can deal negative damage....
so, go heal your target by attacking it!

 

[IhateArthas]

lol that would be cool

 

[HappyTauren]

nope. my theory hasnt proven

 

[CoolSoFar]

Another way to finish problem?
Make sure you have a type of attacks that unused (I never use siege and chaos)

And make it as you locust attack, and then set to all kind of armor to take only 0% damage from siege or chaos(pick either)

must work but you must sacrifice one attacks type

 

[HappyTauren]

problem is solved -.- you set base damage to -1, and dice and sides per die to 1
