I had them attack only debris in Warlords. So do something like that.

the reason why i need it is because i need a troll to be able to throw a spear at a place, not just attack a unit, but attack ground so if the unit runs into the area, then it gets killed, just like the Headhunter game on Uther Party..

i have no other way of making it, i tried making it out of the flamstrike ability but no missle shot.. =/

If you're using flame strike, the missle is only shot because the Blood Mage has the Sphere ability.

Set the unit as "worker" so it won't auto attack, and then order it to attack a random point in the area you want it to throw the spear.

Or am I missing something?

Siege attack + attack only debris will have the desired effect.

Attack ground uses splash damage, so set splash damage to hit the desired stuff.

The annoying thing here (at least for me) is that with such a configuration, the unit's info card does not show the attack damage. Now, if you set the targets allowed to something like "debris, ward" then the damage shows, but you can also target units, of course the game will tell you "Unable to target units." but it's still not as good as only being able to click the ground below them.

It does show attack damage, doesn't it? Sure it does in Warlords (trebuchet).

Nope, it doesn't. The unit also can't be affected by any attack damage boosting auras.
