Giving an attack more than 2 targets

Since the Barrage ability can't be edited (Seems to be bugged) in the editor, is there any other way to make a unit attack more than once in its given cooldown? Lets say you have Unit X, and Target Y & Z. Unit X has one attack enabled, and a lengthy cooldown, is there someway to make Unit X attack Target Y&Z at the same time?

I see there is a "Maximum Targets Allowed" for each attack a unit has, but increasing that doesn't seem do do anything.

u could could give ur attacking unit a few spells, that r the same as his atack or sumthing. then when he attacks the first one with his ATTACK, then he can attack the other 2 units with his spells that would function as his attack.

or u could give him a really short cooldown, and then he cant target anything, atomaticly, like a peasnt. he would only attack when u give him the order to. but the bad part is if he is attacked he runs away. but then again, u could make a trigger to solve that.

a: units is attacked
c:
e: then make the attacked unit hit the attacking unit. i dont know the exact trigger but that is basicaly what it is.

Maximum targets allowed = Max units dmg by area-dmg

I think it might also have an effect on moon glaive but I'd have to test...

Microslave: Any solution would involve triggers. When the player attacks have it unit group all the units near the attack target and save 'em in a unit group variable. Then have a custom unit that _can_ attack, and has little to no cooldown. Temporarily hide the real one, and have the custom one attack all the units in the unit group. Then bring the old unit back (you'll want to hide/unhide him actually instead of replacing him -- that way it remembers the cooldown). Hmm... that's still kind of messy. I was going to suggest a custom ability, but then he won't attack when he right clicks. No easy way to do this :/
