It is possible to have a spell like this?

Confusion
=> The caster confuses the target making it randomly attack anything.

By this, you'll be saying "Give it to Neutral Hostile!"
No.

The confused unit will be hostile to enemy units and friend to friendly units, but behaves like a Neutral Hostile. Confused? :>

So the confused one is still a friend to it's owner and allies of the owner and enemy to enemies of the owner.
~Also, the confused unit can't be controlled~

Possible or not?

Give it to Neutral Hostile!

No I don't really know then. Would say that giving it to Neutral Hostile and set color to owner of the unit.

That would be my best shot.

Good luck

Maybe order him (trigger) to attack an enemy in in a circle of a X radious. I cannot check right now, but it's posible.

 

[supertoinkz]

Okay, the attacking is solved, now I need a way to make the confused unit unable to be ordered.

 

[Damage]

If you periodically order the unit to attack allies it'd sort of override any orders the owner gives it.

You could also add a condition in such that when the unit attempts to attack an enemy, it gets instantly redirected to attack one of its own units.

I am currently creating this system and Damage states exactly the steps I'm following

ooooh , waiting for it

Ok, it's made in a bit of a hurry, so I don't assure you of it being flawless. I have made some tests and it seems to be working though.

So, in the test map, cast Frost Armor. This is your detecting tool in the first place. I assumed that the unit under the effect of the confusion will have a buff attached to it and it should have, since it is easier to work with (else, timers would be involved).
