This ought to be simple, but i just cant figure out the problem >.>

JASS:
function WlfCond takes nothing returns boolean
    if GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'n00G' then
        return true
    endif
    return false
endfunction

function WlfAct takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u = GetKillingUnit()
    local location loc = GetRectCenter(gg_rct_SpawnPrideLeader)
    local unit l = CreateUnitAtLoc(Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE),'n00F',loc,90.00)
    call IssueTargetOrder(l,"attack",u)
    call UnitApplyTimedLife(l,'BTLF',99.00)
    call RemoveLocation(loc)
    set loc = null
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Wolfmother takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH )
    call TriggerAddCondition(t,Condition(function WlfCond))
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function WlfAct )
endfunction


the unit is created, but it refuses to attack. I do not know why (It has an enables attack, and when i walk into its acquisition range, it attacks me...)
 
I guess you can't force a unit to attack another unit that he can not see. Make a trigger that the attacking unit gets shared vision with killer.
 
The unit should attack. The reason it doesn't is probably that the AI can't figure out a route to the targeted unit. This could be caused by either some strange pathing or from the unit lacking movement. If it is caused by the latter, try giving your unit more vision.
 
Just asking;
But is the dying unit of type 'n00G'?

if it wasn't, the unit wouldn't even spawn^^

Hmm, when i change the owner to Player 12, it works. So does somebody have an idea why a Neutral Hostile unit wouldn't attack? (Changing vision etc didn't work)

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
