Defend doesn't reflect projectiles

[Yours Truly]

As the title says.
I created a new defend ability for a hero and hold the shift key to make it pass its limit. But the skill doesn't seem to reflect anything. Eventhough I tested it with a 100% real number,it still doesn't reflect. Can any tell me what's wrong?

I think Defend is kinda odd. I never meddle with it but I think the repel might connects with damage absorption, which I doubt.

Better trigger the defend spell itself.

Trigger? TRIGGER?!
That would make it take helluva space for maps. You see,you have to create every dummy that matches damage and projectile art with every ranged unit within Warcraft. So please,dun involve triggers :]

Well, the default defend ability should have all the settings. Try meddling with them.
Else try Magic Defend, which has similarities.

This is a great question and I am thinking of doing something very similar, but I haven't started and without more information about your spell, I can't give advice directly related to your issue. But, a good way to approach it would be to use a test map with just one footman (default) and an enemy archer. Then check to see that it works in reflecting the arrows. Now begin changing things step by step by step to what you want, always testing between each step. This should give you a good defend ability. If you want a block triggered, you can just wait 1.00 and order unit to undefend.
