Apparently the Adept Shade is supposed to be able to target fire units that it will continue to track once the shade is completed. This is news. In the live game the adept can target fire but only if using a smart command, not by attack moving. This should be rectifiable by adding a dummy weapon to the adept shade, which makes the above fix redundant.
Final Solution:
<!-- Weapons-->
<CWeaponLegacy id="AdeptShadeWeaponDummy">
<Options index="Hidden" value="1"/>
<TargetFilters value="Visible;Missile,Stasis,Dead,Hidden,Invulnerable"/>
<MinScanRange value="0"/>
<Range value="0"/>
<Period value="1"/>
<Effect value="AdeptShadeFakeWeaponDamage"/>
</CWeaponLegacy>
<!-- Effects -->
<CEffectDamage id="AdeptShadeFakeWeaponDamage">
</CEffectDamage>
<!-- Units -->
<CUnit id="AdeptPhaseShift">
<WeaponArray Link="AdeptShadeWeaponDummy"/>
<CardLayouts index="0">
<LayoutButtons index="4" Face="Cancel" AbilCmd="AdeptShadePhaseShiftCancel,Execute" Row="2"/>
<LayoutButtons index="5" Face="Rally" AbilCmd="ProgressRally,Rally1" Row="2"/>
<LayoutButtons index="6" Face="MothershipCoreAttack" AbilCmd="attack,Execute" Row="0"/>
<LayoutButtons index="7" removed="1"/>
</CardLayouts>
</CUnit>
This can even affect the Adept itself: https://twitter.com/RayReign88/status/1792073293820006816 (for this, the targeting mode probably needs to be entered via the Shade and the command executed via the Adept after it replaced its Shade)
Apparently protoss players will just sometimes sacrifice their units because they attempt an attack move and their whole army/probe line just move commands in
OUTDATED:
I simply removed the attack ability and replaced it with a "selection attack" variant on the command card and gave it first priority on the command card to make sure other units always attack move first if possible. Only then will the adept attempt a real scan move.
