Creeps dont move like i want

hello, iam making some castle defense map and i got some problems with it
all i made in the map is some enemy sprawned waves and a race that can defend the castle.

my problem is when the creeps start coming in the castle they oftenly get hit by archers and towers first
this will result that the creeps will attack straight for those archers and towers even if they have to pass by other units that are attacking that unit
this happans to some of the units

now it has something to do with the terrain that makes this problem so hard i got a pretty wide lined area where they move in and those towers and archers stand behind some water

anyhow the most importand thing that i want to how could i change this? like they will ignore ranged till last and hit meelee or nearby'st first
is this do able with AI editor?
or do i have to do this with 20 if triggers?

i checked game constants alredy and i never worked with AI editor but that seems for me only importand for meelee maps


oh yeah and the enemy creeps just have a order "Attack move to"

The AI editor is more for making melee maps with custom races, or for different variations of the default AI (There are two "sample" AI scripts in your WC III folder: Grunt Master and Wyrm Monger).

One thought would be to open up an unprotected defense map and see how the author worked it out, see if it's close to what you have in mind. Two such maps that come to my mind are Azure Tower Defense (Comes with TFT) and Blizzard's version of Skibi's Tower Defense. Should also come with TFT, and if not can be found on their Bonus Maps page.

Hope this can help a little (I'd be darned confused if this happened as well ;) )

try changing the priority on the archers/towers to a higher number than the other units, i believe 20 is the lowest priority of attack so they would be attacked least of all

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
