I'm doing a TD with towers in the way for the creeps. How do I make the creeps not attack the towers when they're not blocking the way and creeps attac when they are?

try searching the forums.. this is answered all over this forum.. also try http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/towerdef.php#tdmark31 there is a section on units that keep attacking..
trying on that same sight the spot with pathing lanes..

Bet they would automatically attack if they cannot move anymore. Really they would.

 

[henbobk]

Yeah but after they've killed all the towers they stay still.

this is an example.. try making this, this will prevent tower attacks, and keep them moving

Prevent Attack

        Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Is attacked

Well, that is how Skibi's Castle work, the trigger above should do it. Though I bet those who have very slow attack speed would look crazy, though it wont matter having an attackspeed minimum. Afterall its a tower defense

Put codes in wc3 tags

But if the towers are blocking the path?

i hit the wrong button, my bad

But if the towers are blocking the path?

oh now i understand. so they hit a wall of towers and they just sit there.. that would be a "problem" with your map. in "wintermaul" they just turn around and try another route, due to there being more then one way to the "finish" line.

The code is somewhat actually wrong. It will make the whole thing do some error, like a unit won't actually move -- The "Attacking Unit" would be changed since there is a 1 second of waiting time. Hmmm.... Requires a better trigger actually. Hmmm... I don't seem to recall a TD that allows complete blockade, Skibi's has a smal path at both right and left corner. You might want to reconsider having a non-fully blockable path.

 

[henbobk]

You can always put a tower behind the tower like

--------------------------------
a
a
a
a
a
---------------------------------

sorry got wrong... i don't know how to explain... I have a straight path from a to b and if i'll but a tower in the way for creeps the creeps kills the towers and then stands still. I want them to keep running after they've killed the towers.
