Auto Cast Range Problem

[King Bowser]

I've been trying to make a spell that increases damage per hit and gives a melee unit ranged attack (frost arrows but with a twist). I set the casting range to 700, but it just doesn't seem to register with a melee unit. When on autocast, the hero just ignores it and goes melee. When just single casting it, it works at a range but is evaded every single time. I assume it just thinks that hes melee and therefore range doesnt register. Is there some sort of trigger or way around this?

It would be best to take something like frost orb and edit that, it already gives melee range and you can just do the triggers using the frost orb as the event.

it dont works because your unit is melee and Frost arrows applies on ranged based unit. Try to search for some trigger "Change unit attack range"(or something, and play with it 4 a while).

Use a trigger so that: When you issue an order (Frost Arrows On), attack 1 of your unit is disabled, and attack 2 is enabled. Then set another trigger so when you issue an order (Frost Arrows Off), attack 2 is disabled, and attack 1 is enabled. Attack 1 is melee, and attack 2 is ranged...
