Auto-attack ORDER ID?

[akrep_ve_su]

I have a trigger which stops a certain unit from attacking other units under certain conditions. The main condition is:

• (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))

which prevents attacks most of time. But the problem is; it does not cover the sitiuations where units auto-engage the nearby enemy units on their own. Is there a way to refer to "auto-attack" with an order id? If not, how do suggest that I proceed ?
Btw, as you can know, the event here is:

• Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object

You may suggest that I replace it with "Unit is attacked" but let me tell you that I've tried that and it is not a solution for me =)
If you ask "why?" answer is: my units has a really low attack animation points (0.100 - 0.150) and although "Unit is Attacked" trigger can prevent the attack, it does not prevent the attack animaton =) Addig "Animation - Reset Unit Animation" action is not a solution too, because couple of other triggers with same event will launch their actions anyway =)
If I can't solve this via order id thing, I will have to combine all "unit is attacked" triggers via if/then/else. (which I prefer not to because it will drop a bomb on my current orgazinational paradigm =))

You can disable unit's attack with a custom spell based on the Silence if that helps.

Well, "Unit is Ordered to Attack" stuff does not cover each attack made by "attacker". It only refers to (first) time when user manually right clicks on a enemy unit.

You can disable unit's attack with a custom spell based on the Silence if that helps.

Yes, I am already using that to disable attack (action trigger) =)

BTW: Unit is a turret, has similar animation to cannon towers of wc3. If I make this all with "Unit is attacked" and with the addition of reset animation thing. Turret will not actually attack or show full attack animation. But the barrel part of the model will spin around like crazy =D Like it is about to shoot something then saying "uhhh nevermind" =)) That's why I need to detect the time before attack starts.

Is there not an event which runs when a unit aquires a target? You just need to issue an interupt order so it loses the target and you should be done.

Be warned that target aquisition is very demanding in WC3 so doing this will lead to poor preformance with lots of units near valid targets to aquire.

I fixed it with a combination of 3 different triggers:
- One start with the event "unit is attacked",
- Other with "unit is ordered to do blah blah"
- And a modified silence spell (modified of the one I was previously using)
