Hero auto-attacking problem

[vutaka]

Does anyone know how to disable hero auto-attacking?
For example: My hero was hiding in a bush, an enemy unit went across (but it didn't see my hero) and then my hero attacked it.

Add the "peon" unit type via trigger.

I believe permanent invisibility does not make heroes auto attack.

Changing unit target acquisition range would also solve this I believe, but that may have some other effects (i.e. no auto-attacking when in brush or not)

Sorry, but I don't understand

He meant 'worker'.

Making the unit a worker makes the idle button at the bottom left I think.
How about this--

• stop auto attack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Bush <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set (Triggering unit) acquisition range to 1.00

• Enable autoattack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit leaves Bush <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set (Triggering unit) acquisition range to (Default acquisition range of (Triggering unit))

^What if the unit is a range?

There's one other way
Make a modified silence ability that disables attacks, but not spells.
Make it so that whenever a unit enters a bush you cast that silence on it.
Make the silence last long.
Make it so the silence buff is removed when unit leaves buff.

Note that in this case it's good to also make a custom buff.

@ Undead
I'm sorry, I don't understand. Are you saying if the unit is within that 1 range of acquisition?
Edit:
Ohhhhh. If its a ranged unit. You can still attack at whatever their range is I believe, you just have to order the attack.


@Xonok I think he wants the unit to still be able to attack from the bush, just not auto attack from it, they would like the user to decide when to "reveal" oneself.

 

[Xonok]

With either approach you can just make it so that when the unit is ordered an order targeting a unit, then the buff or classification stopping auto-attacks is removed.

Yeah True my bad xD

 

[vutaka]

Thank you guys very much!

What he wants is disabling auto attack behavior for a Lol brush system I guess.
Changing aquisition range will screw his auto attack even if you choose to attack.
The best idea is still setting to worker unit classification.
