Dummy units not damaging allies

[Hoops]

Ugh, this sounds stupid but:

Can I make it so I use a dummy unit to either Damage Unit or Damage Area without him damaging allies? Will I have to use something other than the Damage Unit / Damage Area triggers?

You could so something like this:

Events:
Unit uses spell
Conditions:
Spell equal to Blizzard
Actions:
Pick every unit in (Region 000) matching (Enemy of Triggering unit)
Cause Dummy to deal X damage to Picked Unit

I'll be using that, thanks.

there is a very simplier way
in the target allowed section, just check Ennemy. So the unit won't be able to damage allies. If its for an Area of Effect, check ennemy in area of effect target.^^

...and if that doesn't work too, base your skill on another similar ability (instead of blizzard, you can use warstomp repeteadly) And If you ask "why would I want to do that?" answer is simple, object editor fields (especially targets allowed section) is sometimes may not work flawlessly. Some skills does not affect destructibles no matter what you do, or the caster itself.
Anyway. If you want to damage certain units (where object editor doesn't help) you can trigger it with Unit Group actions using Matching Conditions . This way you can express which things you want to take damage with exact settings.

This can ONLY be done if the spell does damage via Object Editor
If it's via Trigger Editor, this has no use, but only takes up space just to create a dummy unit, even for our Allies, I know it can't be affected since it has been changed to "Enemy" but, you will get a less-performance trigger
