Ability that makes unit unable to attack another unit possible? (plz help :D )

[ALiEN95]

here is what i would like to happen

for example

your Hero can attack Footmans

than i add ability to Hero

Hero is than unable to attack Footmans because of ability being added (actually he needs to ignore them 100% or just be unable to attack)



is that possible?

EDIT:
i mean really not able to attack,so he ignores the footman like he is invulnerable to him

 

[Pharaoh_]

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit is attacked
• Conditions
  • ((Attacking unit) is a Hero) Equal to True
  • (Level of (ability) for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
  • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
• Actions
  • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Stop

if you want your Hero to not be able to attack Footmans (or any unit) even at the start of the game then use Pharaoh's trigger. else if you want your Hero to not be able to attack a Footman either after adding an ability or after any event as you wish, you can:
1. Add an ability (like you said), but just a dummy ability, then add that Hero to a group and use the condition Boolean -> Unit - Unit In Unit Group
2. Add an ability (like you said ), but use an ability that gives a buff, like a dummy aura ability? And use the condition Boolean -> Unit - Unit Has Specific Buff
3. Turn off Pharaoh's trigger, then just use another trigger to turn it on after an event

if you only want it not to attack footmen use Pharaoh_'s but if you want it to be not able to attack any unit just use silence...

pharonah´s solution is not good in this case

Maybe try using 10 enquisition range in the unit (object manager)

 

[Rui]

Setting acquisition range could be an idea, combined with a trigger to check for other nearby enemy units to attack, though I doubt you'll achieve with GUI (Triggers) the same smoothness you'd experience with JASS.

What is this, footman wars? You can mess around with the "attack 2" properties that gets enabled when the hero has the ability to not be able to target "ancient" units, and just change footman's target properties to "ancient". Similar to how Steam Tanks ignore units.

well you can use silence and set the attacks prevented to melee and ranged so that your unit can still cast spells but cannot attack

no,not good at all,

hero needs to be unable to attack footmans not all units

ahh...
I'm not sure if this would work...

TRIGGERS

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order targeting a unit
• Conditions
  • Target Unit of issued order equal to footman
  • Triggering unit has buff equal to true
  • Issued order equal to attack
• Actions
  • Set Temp = TriggeringUnit
  • Countdown Timer - Start Timer as a one-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds

• Events
  • Timer - Timer expires
• Actions
  • Unit - Order Temp to stop

This system is MUI and the timer is needed because issuing an order to a unit that triggered the is issued event would cause errors. Though I'm not 100% sure that this would work...

Why do you need the timer, just order the triggering unit to stop right away.

I saw it on another thread... you need a wait of a timer there to make the "stop" work... Maybe you can try removing the timer and see if it would work coz I haven't tried it myself...

 

[Bribe]

A simple move command should do the trick. is there a way to retrieve a unit's last given order of movement?

not good,he does not ignore them

btw i think you don't need timer is you use (work on some issued order events 100% sure)

turn off this trigger
pause unit
unpause unit
order unit to stop
turn on this trigger


...

hero can attack footman and he wants to attack him when he is near him,when that hero gets ability he ignores the footman (he does not want to attack him)
any way to do it?

As i guess, Bribe, or somebody said, just set the attack targets, delete ancients, set footman to be an ancient and that should be it (ofc be careful with neutrals (ancients))
