How do we get AI to attack walls?

Basically, in the situation shown in the image above, the default AI will not attack the barricades blocking the towers, but instead will try to run around the towers, and all fit into that little opening in-between the barricades in the back. Instead, I'd like it so that the AI just attacks the closest enemy, be it barricade or tower (and so would destroy the barricades first, and then the towers). Is there a trigger or setting that just makes the AI units treat the barricades with the same priority as the towers?

Maybe make the barricades belong to the owner of the tower, make a new unit. No need to mess with the AI :

 

[MintJulep]

Yep, the barricades are units (they're buildings). The AI, however, still tries to run around them.

that's because there's no point in atttacking something tha doesnt hurt you, when something is there that's actually is hurting you
maybe it's in advanced ->game constants-> guard radius

 

[MintJulep]

Technically that's not correct, because more units would be attacking the towers at once if the barricades were destroyed, whereas ignoring the barricade only allows one melee unit to attack at once in that narrow choke.

mayb so, but the computer isn't a player, so if you dont tell them to do something, then they'll just do what's in front of them
this might work, but the problem is that it will only work for one wall

Or, spam taunt on your barricades, a taunt that only attacks units.

Btw, what does "constructed structure" refer to actually?

 

[Renendaru]

Nah, no need for that. Add 0-0 dmg to them.

yeah i was thinking of 0 damage, but i wasn't too sure of it myself, renedaru is right
