I have frostarrows on a unit. This unit can use frost arrows and target the structure. The STRUCTURE flag is set on frost arrows Targets Allowed. The problem is the unit just fires a normal arrow, it doesn't leave a debuff. I want an arrow that reduces the attack speed of a structure for some time. Any ideas? |

Well I guess my initial question wasn't really the problem at hand... The problem is that when you order a computer controlled unit to "coldarrowstarg" a player's unit, the frost arrows dont take into effect. Weird. I have no idea what to do here... Has anyone encountered this before? |

Well I've found that there are a lot of issues with ordering "on attack" Auto-casts like this one or Black arrow, etc. like that. If it's a computer unit, you may want to make sure that the Cold Arrows is selected as the Unit's default active ability in the Data field above abilities in the Object Editor. Pretty much, if it's on auto-cast and a player could cast it on the target, the computer will use it. The problem is either that it isn't actually on auto-cast (which is easy to fix), or a problem built into the Ability, which would mean that you'd have to find some way to trigger it. |

Can you work around by just enabling autocasting and ordering a standard attack from the unit? |

Actually BBDino, no, that doesnt work. I enabled autocast for it then ordered it to attack, attackonce, and coldarrowstarg a unit, none of them worked. My solution was actually to change the owning player property from Computer to None. Now everything works perfectly. I probably should try poison arrow or just all the other orbs to see the effects, that is kind of lame that computer controlled units arent using autocast orb effects... |
