Is there any way to have a units projectile attack go into the attacking unit, rather than away from it?

So like, rather than an archer fire an arrow at a target, the target fires the arrow at the archer, but the archer still performs the attack and the target still loses health.

There's a better way,in my opinion. Go to object editor and select your archer,find fields:
Art - Projectile Launch - X
Art - Projectile Launch - Y
Art - Projectile Launch - Z
and experiment with those. You will most probably need to set X and Z to 0 and Y to around double the range of your unit or more.

EDIT: Uh..i was wrong,you can't achieve the same effect with this since you can't change impact X/Y D:

If the target has mana, you could use an Orb of Slow with Absorb Mana as its spell.

Alternately, play around with the effects and buffs of Spider Attack, the Cryptfiend's ability that makes its attack linger at the target and then return.

Otherwise, trigger it. :wink:
