How to turn off auto attack?

is it possible to turn off auto attacking for a units, so it doesnt automatically attack enemys.

This is kinda off the top of my head, but try making the unit a peasant in the classification

That could bring up problems, i.e. the unit shows up as an idle worker when not busy. What exactly is this for, so we have a better idea of how to help you.

Aquisition Range = 0 would prevent them from auto-aquiring units to attack

The thing is that it does not work.

And a really special workaround would be to use Akama's shadowmeld and order the unit to hide.

tell us more about it, the should should defend itself if attacked? only this unit or all units? etc

I think it does.... tried changing what vis the lowest value that can be put there? or used shift + enter while changing value?.... ive done this in one of my maps, but i dont remember how....

It doesn't work, you can put 0, you can put -1 , even 0.01 but the unit will still acquire targets

Just a thought, could you make a trigger that would make any unit given the 'stop' command to revert to the 'hold' command? Thus making them not auto-acquire unless within range?

do you wan't to make it an rpg combat style where you need to click to attack?
