Flipping Ranges

[PlankingWolf]

I was wondering how the original DotA made the Troll Warlord flip his range (from melee to ranged, then vice versa). Please tell me how to do it.
Thanks, a lot!

I don't know about DotA, but you could use the Robo-Goblin ability to switch between melee and ranged units.

^ That's probably your best bet.

Another possibility is to use an Orb ability to enable attack 2, and remove this ability when you want attack 1 again.
(attack 1 is melee, attack 2 is range)

Or simply morph with chemical form/metamorphose and make the morphed to unit his ranged attacker form.

It's just a morph. The alternate form has different attack stats (i.e. melee instead of ranged).

This does not work in my expirience, if a unit with an orb ranged attack (even with a high range) gets the order to attack an enemy, it will allways walk up to the range of the range, set in the standart attack
