How to make spiked carapace to effect ranged attacks?

Sadly, you can't. You have two ways - to detect damage from an attack, or to detect the beginning of one. Neither can be done through simple GUI.

in order to detect damage from an attack you have to either use a DTDS (Damage type detection system) and require that it isnt damage type magic, or trigger every single spell and set a boolean variable to true/false as it deals damage then return it to the latter when it finishes, creating a cast type condition basically, and pokemon both ways can be done with simple gui, its just tedious, whereas it wouldnt be with jass/vjass
