Trigger Question

[Verrak]

Basically i am trying to make a trigger that creates units at a location and then orders then to an area. Now i know how to do it, but once thier created, and orderd to attack-move thier. They double back to the creation point. I want them to move thier and enage anything on the way thier and once thier stay put and wait for an enemy to come.

add this trigger

e
unit enteres yourregiion
c
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)
a
set point = randompoint in attack center
order trigering unit to attack move to point
wait random real number between x and y
order triggering unit to stop
custom script: call removelocation(udg_point)

I couldnt find the wait a random time between x and y, but i just put a generic wait 2 second and worked fine, thanks

its in the functions. scroll down to math, then the first one.
using a fixed value there will eventually cause your units to form a circle, this causes them to shatter around a bit, use random between 1 and 3, or between 2 and 4, should work best in your case for as far as i can tell

        Unit - Create 2 Priest for Player 9 (Gray) at (Random point in Castle Defense Spawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

... Why does that code repeat itself on its conditions?

Victory Equal to False

Is the same as:

If (Victory Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)

Isn't it?

How can i make that trigger order units to attack but ignore a specfic unit (a peasent) if he steps on the region

 

[Shadow]

Why not just make peasants classified as a ward or something and then make it so the units you spawn can't target wards.

 

[Verrak]

well thier on the same team. Units are created..then sent to a spot where they fight, at the same time peasents are travling past them (also steping on the region that orders them to attack).

I know thiers a way to do it with conditions, i just cant figure out how for it to ingnore 2 specfic units (the peasent and the peon)

 

[LightChaosma]

e
unit aquieres a target
c
unit clasification of aquiered target is worker is equal to true
a
order triggering unit to stop(?)

 

[Verrak]

Hmm Lemme try n explain. Defenders(gray) spawn at the back of the map then orderned to a spot in the middle of the castle(which is a choke point). Peasents (also gray) come from sides past the guards created(over the region that orders gray units to stay and attack). I want the attackers to be able to kill the peasents. But the peasents be unaffected by the trigger that orders gray to attack in that region

So somthing like

E
Unit enters Attack Center

C
Owner of triggering unit = to player 9(gray)
Somthing basically if unit = worker, ignore action

A
Unit order triggering unit to attack-move

 

[LightChaosma]

if he defenders orders are mere attack move, they wont attack thier own peasants...

 

[Verrak]

if he defenders orders are mere attack move, they wont attack thier own peasants...

I want the peasents to keep on walking, not stop to attack, like the trigger tells them to do

 

[LightChaosma]

ooh
add this condtion... sec, lemme open WE

((Triggering unit) is A peon-type unit) Equal to False

 

[Verrak]

thanks, worked like a charm
