[LordSaddler1]

Just as the title says. Here it is

Berserk Frenzy
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Berserk Frenzy 
    Actions
        Set Berserker_Frenzy_Killer = (Target unit of ability being cast)
        Set Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc[1] = (Position of Berserker_Frenzy_Killer)
        Set BerserkFarDistance[1] = 10000
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 1000.00 of Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc[1]) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc[2] = (Position of (Picked unit))
                Set BerserkFarDistance[2] = (Integer((Distance between Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc[1] and Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc[2])))
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        BerserkFarDistance[2] Less than BerserkFarDistance[1]
                    Then - Actions
                        Set BerserkFarDistance[1] = BerserkFarDistance[2]
                        Set Berserk_Frenzy_Target = (Picked unit)
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing
        Unit - Order Berserker_Frenzy_Killer to Attack Berserk_Frenzy_Target

How many units will have this ability?

Because, if more than one unit has this ability, I can see problems occuring because of the Wait part in the first trigger.

 

[LordSaddler1]

Only one unit has it.

you have to maybe implement intergers in your triggers

in this section, i think...

For each integer(a) from 1 to (whoever many units you want attacking)
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 1000.00 of Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc[1]) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Set Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc[2] = (Position of (Picked unit))
Set BerserkFarDistance[2] = (Integer((Distance between Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc[1] and Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc[2])))
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions

Set the timer to 0.03 instead of 1 second

I want one unit to attack THE NEAREST unit, where it is an ally or enemy. It isn't a taunt ability.

As for .3 seconds it doesnt make any difference because im testing it with computers and they aren't going to be telling themselves not to attack the nearest unit.

Try:
For each integer from A to 1000
Set Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc2[A] = (Position of (Picked unit))
Set BerserkFarDistance2[A] = (Integer((Distance between Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc2[A] and Berserk_Frenzy_Killer_Loc2[A])))
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
BerserkFarDistance2[A] Less than BerserkFarDistance
Then - Actions
Set BerserkFarDistance = BerserkFarDistance2[A]
Set Berserk_Frenzy_Target = (Picked unit)
Else - Actions
Do nothing

notice new variables...

 

[LordSaddler1]

I tried that and it just made it not work at all. It used to make the unit just stand there, and when i cast it on my own unit I'd notice that whenever it got the order to attack, it instantly was given the order to stop.
