[General] Can I make hexed unit have attack?

[stan0033]

Hi, can I make unit have attack? When a unit is hexed he is silenced meaning he cannot attack with autoattack and spells? Can I put someething on him with triggers so he can attack?

I've done a custom Hex spell before.

How Hex works is that it chooses from a pre-determined set of units that the target is randomly transformed into. These are critters, so by default the hero cannot attack.

However, what you could try doing is create custom critters which do have an attack. This might enable the hero to still attack while hexed. No promises.

Otherwise, Hex might be hardcoded to disable a hero's attack regardless. In that case you'll need to do some fancy metamorphosis / unit changing to get the effect you want.

I don't think it works that way.
I think I tried to make a similar spell which makes the target of polymorph change into Doom Guard instead of sheep and change the owner for the duration, however afaik the Doom Guard still couldn't attack.

Then it is hardcoded, unfortunately, that the unit's attack is disabled. Doubtful that there's a native which could enable?
