A Question About Zombie Survivals

[giragesh]

hi i am making my first propper map after a fair bit of exploration on the editor

i am ok at terraining and gui triggers and know how to get around the pallettes and other editors but i dont know JASS so please stick to GUI

my question is

How do i make the "zombies" attack?

You order the zombies to attack through triggers with the action Unit - Issue Order Targetting a Point. You can also order them to target a unit if thats what you want.

Or, the zombies attack without using triggers..

simple?

 

[giragesh]

i have tried that but i cant seem to get the trigger to "recognise" the zombies any suggestions on that?

i think i made my trigger:

unit- unit comes within 10000 range of "spawner"
conditions
Unit- unit type equal to "zombie"
actions
Unit- order triggering unit to attack move to center of playable map area

10,000 range?

Too far away, thats why.

Try reduce it

 

[Squishy]

Are the zombies being created through triggers? If so, you could just add the action to move them in the trigger they are created, or switch the event in your trigger to Unit Enters Your Region.

i have also tried to set my attack aquisition range to the max allowed but du to problems with zombie sight radius it doesnt work



for some reason my zombies are walking to the middle of the side of my map and back to my spawner in the corner

 

[giragesh]

that sounds like it might work ill try that thanks guys

 

[giragesh]

another Q

are there any template zombie survival maps around?

migh make my life a bit easyer

set the zombie's sight to 9999999 in day and night and acquiste range to 999999 i think it will surely work that way...

Max sight for day and night is 1800 and range is 20,000

Someone else recently had that problem. Give the zombies to a computer player, not Neutral Hostile.

As for ordering them, depending on what you want, use the "A unit enters region" event. That region can be a specific one, or the whole playable map area. Then tell them to attack-move to your desired point. And give your computer player full view of the map with a visibility modifier. This will effectively give the zombies full sight radius.

Create a trigger that Enables visibility throughout the entire map for the zombie player. Set the aquisition range to 20,000 and peng - it's done. That is the most easiest way.
But:
1) zombies will automatically attack weak targets, not the closest target to them.
2) I've seen that on a lot of maps. Don't spawn too many zombies at once. the massive unit retardness will fuck up the ai movement when about ~100-120 units.
