Flying unit resistant to melee

[Modrzew]

Hi!

I'm trying to make a flying unit that can only attack with ranged attack and only be hit by ranged attacks. Can someone help me with writing a WML for that? Some skill that prevents others from attacking the unit with melee or maybe giving the unit 100% defense against melee attacks?

I would be grateful for any help

You could give the unit a 0-0 melee attack with a weapon special that also reduces damage taken to zero. Example of the opposite of what you want for the weapon special:

Code: Select all

  [damage]
    id=sxc_brutality
    name= _ "brutality"
    description= _ "When this attack is used in offense the unit deals 25% more damage and takes 25% more damage."
    active_on=offense
    apply_to=both
    multiply=1.25
  [/damage]

Ageless Era has some "defend only" attacks that aren't used on offense, but they're on AI-only units, it might just be telling the AI not to use them.

Defend and attack only is not AI-only, they work.

Thank you!
I did a bit crude version, but it works. For now it's ok for me.
Thank you

On the dummy melee attack, you should be able to just use a [disable] special to make it not even appear in the attack menu, and probably to make the AI not consider it either.
