Attack Orders help please D:

[Bongo]

Im probably over complicating the trigger needs, but I need an amount of units created after the map initializes to constantly seek out and attempt to destroy a specific unit, There are multiple units that need to have these pursuers, and a mass of attackers that are to divy up and pursue. Here is what Ive got on there.

Spawn C's
Events
-Game - Map initialization
-Timer - Every 22.0 seconds of Game Time
Local Variables
Conditions
Actions
-Region - Attach C 1 to (last created unit) with offset 0000
(goes down to 12)
-Unit - Order (Unit attached to C 1) to (attack targeting (Unit attached to M 1))(Replace Existing Orders)
(Also goes down to 12)

Another Trigger linked to related to this one ---->

Map Start
Events
-Map Initialization
local
cond
Actions
-Unit Create 1 M for player 1 at Player 1 M Spawn
-Region - Attach M 1 to (last created unit)
(continues for 5 more players)


The "C" units are not created until 22 game seconds have passed, and are created one at a time with no wait triggers between. Every time i test the map the units do not pursue my "M" units, and yes i have a trigger starting computer AI, its the Start Melee AI

If there's more than one unit you will need to use a unit group, which could be why it's not working.

So the attaching regions to their respective units should be working properly?

I'm unsure why you are attaching regions to units. You are better off using Unit Group variables to store the pursuing units and use a periodic event to pick every unit in the unit group, and order them to attack towards the position of your M units. Add 2 Global variables: 1 named M of the type Unit; and the other named CUnits of type Unit Group. Then use these two triggers (only minor changes to your current ones):

• Spawn C
  • Events
    • Timer - Every 22.0 seconds of Game Time
  • Local Variables
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick each unit in CUnits and do (Actions)
      • Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to ( Attack targeting (Position of M)) (Replace Existing Orders)

• Map Start
  • Events
    • Game - Map initialization
  • Local Variables
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 M for player 1 at Player 1 M Spawn using default facing (No Options)
    • Variable - Set M = (Last Created Unit)
    • ... Continue above 2 lines for each player
    • Trigger - Run Spawn C

You will also need to add the pursuing units to the CUnit variable at Map Initialization.

sorry it was the only way i found to get a unit to do anything at all x.x i dont quite understand the editor yet. and about the variables, how do you add global variables? X.X thanks for the help, youve made it so much simpler and explained alot to me already with just that

 

[Galdiuz]

To add a global variable, just press Ctrl+B. :thup:

 

[Monsterous]

Make sure the Variable isnt inside the trigger, but outside it, to make it Global

You guys were a HUGE help you dont even know. Most credit does go to Dave, but if it wasnt for the last 2 posts i wouldntve figured out the global variable thing lol
