[Snippet] Making a unit attack instantly

So, I was looking for a way to cast attack-modifier spells from a dummy unit, without requiring 1 dummy for every target. For that I would need to make a unit that can attack instantly. Although I didn't succeed with that, I found something interesting. The trick is to order the unit to cast an...

You can use this function to set unit's attack range instead of the upgrade.

    function SetUnitAttackRange takes unit u, real range, integer index returns nothing
        BlzSetUnitWeaponRealField(u, UNIT_WEAPON_RF_ATTACK_RANGE, index + 1, range - BlzGetUnitWeaponRealField(u, UNIT_WEAPON_RF_ATTACK_RANGE, index))
    endfunction

• Conditions
  • (DamageEventTarget has buff GB_BUFF) Equal to True
  • IsDamageAttack Equal to True
  • (Random integer number between 1 and 3) Greater than or equal to (Level of GB_TOGGLE_ABILITY for DamageEventTarget)

I'm not sure what the third condition is doing here exactly in On Damage Goddess Bow trigger, since the ability has only one level at the moment.

The idea is interesting, but on the practical side it can be annoying if a player wants to run away while shielded, having to spam right click orders for the unit actually to move.

Approved

I just tried that and the range gets set to nonsensical values instead of the desired value

Ah, my bad. Remove the "+ 1" part, then it should work.

Still not working

    function SetUnitAttackRange takes unit u, real range, integer index returns nothing
        call BlzSetUnitWeaponRealField(u, UNIT_WEAPON_RF_ATTACK_RANGE, index, range - BlzGetUnitWeaponRealField(u, UNIT_WEAPON_RF_ATTACK_RANGE, index))
    endfunction

Well, I couldn't get it to work either even with the help of some people, either native got janked so hard lately or I don't know.
Better stay with the upgrade.

Just curious, why not use the existing damage received event?
