Trigger to stop AOE Attack

[Leatherneck]

I know how to and have made a trigger that does NOT allow someone to attack an Allied Unit. Is there a way to make a trigger to STOP someone from using an AOE attack on a allied Unit?

What do you mean by "stop"? If you mean that you want an Aoe spell to not damage allied units then just change the targets allowed under the ability itself...

I think he means stopping attack-ground.

Hmm if that's the case then the solution is kinda the same. Just the targets allowed by the unit instead of ability.

I mean when you are allied to someone, you can still kill their structures with AOE attack(Damage), just not Direct attack. Is there a trigger that can stop that. If you take away the Ground Target under the ability, it doesn't have AOE damage anymore, it just has direct Hit attack damage, right?

 

[Solu9]

You mean attacks like the Demolisher's Ground Attack right? Find the stat that says "Combat - Attack 1 - Area of effect target" and check the "enemy" field.

 

[Leatherneck]

Right now, the targets allowed are Ground, Enemy, Neutral. But, still able to Ally attack structure with them.

Hm seems like Ground Attack automatically damages allies. I have never really used the attack type. I can't see a way around this unless you are willing to trigger the whole attack.
