Remove a unit's attack?

Is it possible to remove a hero's attack though triggers? In my trigger I have the hero becomming a ghost, but I see how to remove his attack. Thanks!

Make a custom Item Damage Bonus ability and set the damage bonus to -9999999999999999999. Then use the Add Ability event to give it to your hero. His attack will be totally removed.

Maybe I'm crazy: But I know there are abilities in the Editor that add/remove attacks. There must be an easier way then this. Have you tried using triggers to add a modified 'corrosive breath' upgrade based ability to the unit, that 'enables' 'none' of their attacks? That's a thought.

Edit: Yup, real quick test, I used War Club to add a mythical index 1 attack to a huntress and remove her primary attack. This left her attackless. I set the maximum number of attacks from the warclub ability to 0, though if they can't attack, it won't matter anyway.

Erm, how is that any easier than my way?

How I would do it is making a version of the unit with no attack (and probably other ghostly attributes) then use a chaos ability to transform the hero to the ghost.

The simplest way is to remove the 'Aatk' ability for the unit (doesn't show up in GUI, but it's there).

Custom Script: call UnitRemoveAbilityBJ( 'Aatk', GetTriggerUnit() )

Setting the Atk to -9999999 doesn't sound very.. clean to me, that's all.

i agree, that was is kindof stupid (no offense, not flame, plz dont hurt me) it would just make the atk do no dmg, so basically ur person/guy/unit would run around smashing stuff doing no dmg, the remove "Aatk" trigger would work the best.
