Item to make attack ranged??

[Bond009]

Anyone know of a way that an item can make a melee attack ranged? cant really brainstorm right now lol.

Not just ranged for air like the orb's...

Like legit ranged attack as long as the hero has the item.

And i dont want to do any unit replacement or double hero stuff or anything like that, it wont work for what i need.

Let me know your best ideas

orbs enable the second attack index
just change the second attack so it is really ranged

I have a bug with that system: when the orb-item is dropped/lost attack index 1 comes back, but range remains from attack index 2. (With no triggers implied)
Any ideas how to change it?

Use Triggers, like, in an Event that an item is picked up/dropped what happens, or just use the Metamorphosis spell, and change the model to the unit you're using.

In that case, the only ways I know to do it are with War Club and triggers to provide a tree and give the order, or making a several-hundred-level alternating attack upgrade and hoping no player acquires/drops the item that many times.

make the item expensive and that won't happen
or make the player unable to drop it after x drops

or make range unlimited and stop all attacks with trigger if the target is miles away
