Friendly fire OFF

[BruteBrutal]

Hey again...

Trying to make it impossible to attack allied heros/unit. I'm in object manager and 'Combat Attack 1 Targets Allowed'..

But when I check Ground and Air he attacks allied units/heroes too. Even the heroes own summons.

How do I fix that?

Thanks in advance,

BruteBrutal

Have you tried checking "enemy" (I think it is called) aswell?

 

[BruteBrutal]

yes i have, it doesnt help

 

[HydraRancher]

Some targets override each other. What are ALL the targets allowed you are using right now?

 

[BruteBrutal]

Allowed targets Air, Ground


And if I go Targeted as Hero (NOT Ground) then noone can attack me instead (not neutrals either)

 

[HydraRancher]

So Air, Ground and Enemy don't work together?

 

[BruteBrutal]

still no... still Ground allowed attacks Ground even if its Ground/Enemy or how the setup is

 

[HydraRancher]

Can I have a screenshot of your object editor? This is strange.

 

[BruteBrutal]

here u go...

My hero, both attacks are as you can see Ground, Air, Enemy (tried both with and without Enemy)

In that case I have no idea. With those targets allowed it should work. The only thing I can recommend is making sure you save properly (and open the right map if you're not using the test map) and that you're using the right unit.

Although...What is the "Targeted As" for the unit you are trying to kill?

 

[BruteBrutal]

on the other heros I have Targeted as GROUND (standard) then allies can attack their own but if I dont have it, the enemys doesn't attack either...

 

[HydraRancher]

Do your units auto acquire eachother as targets?

 

[BruteBrutal]

No, they only attack if you press attack and then the hero. Same with their summons.

Use triggers? Just stop the unit from attacking them, it'd be much easier then trying to find the error, just do something like this

• HANDWRITTEN!
  • Events
  • A Unit is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Attacking unit == to an ally of attacked unit
  • Actions
  • Order attacking unit to stop

You can do this, because the event - A unit is attacked, happens BEFORE the unit is attacked not after

I would advise NeuroToxin's method, because it's less likely to work incorrectly. Also alot simpler, and is easy to edit by adding a few conditions you can add a deny system etc.

My first day of mapcreations ever was yesterday, began with a 12 hour session learning by doing so I'm sorry for being a bit noobish among you others but when I'm in the trigger it either says "No unit" is attacked or I have to pick ONE specific unit.

Also how does the map know that these three commands are linked?

Change the event. Instead of Unit event, use "A unit is..." event. It's called "generic" I think.

> Also how does the map know that these three commands are linked?

Because Blizzard programmers told the map so.
(Attacking unit) refers to the unit that is attacking the (Attacked unit). That is so because those units are tied to the event that fired above. It is handled so there must be 2 units corresponding to the event firing, and the script defines the (Attacking unit) at that moment, as well as the (Attacked unit), and set them to those native functions.

Just know that it works.

I am officially too stupid for this. I'm in triggers, first of all the three things he wrote do I have to use all 3 for it to work? If i have more than one Melee Initialzition my game really fucks up. And I can't find that either.

Maybe I dont have an extended bought version of the map editor or something but for the third part the 'NEW ACTION' - ALL - nothing on that list anywhere is called "A unit is..."

 

[NeuroToxin]

create a new trigger, use the event, go to generic unit, find unit is attacked, condition should be a boolean comparison, ill upload a map

• H
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Owner of (Attacking unit)) is an ally of (Owner of (Attacked unit))) Equal to (==) False
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Stop
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: NO! You cannot attack an ally!

I send you a mental cheesecake as a thank you! :thup:

It was allies I didnt wanted to be attacked, but that fix I could manage myself.
