Freezing Breath issue

[Rugarus]

I have one of my units with the ability 'Freezing Breath' which when he attacks a structure it causes the structure to not be possible to repair for the duration of the ability.

When I add this ability to a Hero though it doesn't seem to work even though it shows the ability in his command card.

Any idea why this is?
Thanks.

Aside from "what version are you editing/testing in" & "make sure to double check all the fields & dependencies & techtree requirements"...

It's possible it's hard-coded to only work for ranged units. What kind of hero has this ability?

I think that freezing breath works as an upgrade. Also did you add it to the hero abilities or the normal abilities?

I added it to both, I've tested with a unit already placed in the map with the ability works for him. Same thing with my hero and doesn't work. I tried both abilities and normal abilities.


I removed any requirements. Target field is units and structures. What determines a ranged unit? Is it just attack range you're talking about?

As Kyrbi0 said, it may be usable on for ranged attacks. You can modify the hero attack to ranged and give him like 100 range, so it will attack from a melee distance

I modified range and still not working.

Freezing breath works fine for ranged heros.

For a melee hero you have to change his Combat - Attack 1 - Weapon type to Missile instead of Normal and that will do the trick.
