Spec

It seems that standard auras use enumerating units in range, that doesn't touch 'Aloc' units. So I think the only way is to customize it with jass:

JASS:

scope BuffOnDummy

globals
    private group gr = CreateGroup()
    private timer tm = CreateTimer()
    private filterfunc bx = null
    private integer dummy_id = 'h000'
    private real tm_period = 1.
endglobals

private function f_func takes nothing returns boolean
    if GetUnitTypeId(GetFilterUnit()) == dummy_id then
        // check the distance
        // and do required actions (add/remove abilities, etc.)
    endif
    return false
endfunction

private function OnTimer takes nothing returns nothing
    call GroupEnumUnitsOfPlayer(gr, Player(0x00), bx)
endfunction

public function InitTrig takes nothing returns nothing
    set bx = Filter(function f_func)
    call TimerStart(tm, tm_period, true, function OnTimer)
endfunction

endscope

Pheonix-IV	Locust basically buggers with just about everything. Use it only when you want something to be completely and totally invisible to almost all forms of interaction with everything, or if you want to use the locust bug.
