Make ground unit attack as brood lord?

    I try to make a ground unit have a similar attack as the brood lord. But there will be no missile that spawns broodlings upon impact. Instead the broodlings shall be the missile.

    The point is to make the ground unit unable to shoot broodlings over cliffs or over anything. Instead the broodlings will be spawned at the unit and move towards the target. The broodling will not be controllable. It will just move and attack the target. If the target dies before the broodling reaches it, broodlings will attack another nearyby target instead.

    Any ideas how to make this?

    Is it even possible?**

    Sounds loke a certain hots unit....

    Just make the units be an external magazine and uncommandable and untargetable. They automatically are ordered to attack the target of the Attack ability of the unit so it just needs a dummy weapon like broodlord.

    Broodlord ammo units have a weapon that converts them into missiles when attacking because the Launch Missile effect lacks an ammo unit.
