[Wartom111]

I wish to make an auto-cast ability that when activated makes melee's heroes attack ranged but when not activated his melee, i do not have a clue about how to do this so any suggestions/help would be awesome thanks

Hmmm. Maybe base the spell off searing arrows?

You can make your hero's second attack (Combat - Attack 2) ranged, copy paste an Orb of Fire-type ability (it's in the "Items" abilities) and let the Data - Attack Index Enabled to be "2". Moreover, copy paste a Searing Arrow type ability, as Teelo already suggested.

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Issued order) Equal to (order(flamingarrows))
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Add (Orb of Fire) to (Triggering unit)
    • Else - Actions
      • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Issued order) Equal to (order(unflamingarrows))
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Remove (Orb of Fire) from (Triggering unit)
        • Else - Actions

hmm.. why use autocasting abilities? just asking..
you can use morphing abilities to make a unit ranged or melee.
just an idea..

I don't recommend using Orb abilities but using spells such as Heal, Curse, Slow, Faerie Fire etc. as dummies.
Also, if you really want to create a ranged attack for a melee attacker you could morph the unit, replace it by the ability Chaos or by triggers, or by giving it another attack.
