How to make units ignore attacking a unit with a specific buff?

[Dinodin]

As the title says I want units with a specific buff to be unable to be attacked but how? Currenly I use to order attacking units to Stop everytime they are trying to attack the units with the specific buff but the attacking unit will just stand there and do nothing because it keeps trying to attack the unit with the specific buff but is ordered to Stop until the specific buff is gone. Is there any other way to do this? So the units just ignoring attack the units with the specific buff and keep attacking other units instead?

The only way is to give them a different target to attack -> Issue order to Attack.

OR mess with the Targets Allowed field using the "Set Unit Integer" action, but that seems like a pain and might not work.

Only way i can think of is to make the unit etherial or invulnerable but that will mess with other things as well.

Damn World Editor really lacks of trigger options... Well it was worth asking anyway ^^

This doesn't account for everything but it's a good start:

• Attack Prevention
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacked unit) has buff Avatar) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet AtkPrev_Attacker = (Attacking unit)
    • Set VariableSet AtkPrev_Owner = (Owner of AtkPrev_Attacker)

    • Set VariableSet AtkPrev_Group = (Units within ((Unit: AtkPrev_Attacker's Weapon Real Field: Attack Range ('ua1m') at Index:0) + 256.00) of AtkPrev_Point.)
    • Unit Group - Remove (Attacked unit) from AtkPrev_Group.
