Just a quick question...

[Simbob]

I was just wondering if there is an ability that could make a melle person into a ranged person... or vicea versa. Like if I make a peasant hold a bow could I make him ranged? Or even give him the archers animation?

I havent searched this but if you can find a link to a place that has the answer I'm looking for please tell me.

u would need to replace the unit with another unit that has the attack range that u want, u can either trigger this or use a spell like storm crow form, metamorphis, etc.

One quick and probably the best way is to create two variations of the peasant, one melee and range, with same abilities and etc.

Then use this trigger:

Trigger 001
   EVENTS
      Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
   CONDITIONS
      [Conditions]
   ACTIONS
      Set casterLoc = (Triggering unit)
      Unit - Remove casterLoc from the Game
      Set pointLoc = (Position of casterLoc)
      Unit - Create 1 Ranged Peasant for [Player] at pointLoc facing (Facing of casterLoc) degrees

      Unit - Create 1 Ranged Peasant for [Player] at pointLoc facing (Facing of casterLoc) degrees

Mmm, nice, the peasant gets full hp and such when he swaps his attack style. That is IF the trigger was right, you can't remove the unit and set it's location to a variable.
Just use the Unit - Replace.

Under the condition you will only need two "modes" (one melee and one ranged with a fixed range) you can just set up Attack 2 for the peasant (but make sure it's disabled). After that just giving him some Orb-based ability should work.
