Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -Atk as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 9 (Gray)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To (Position of Castle gen 0194)

something like this?

 

[TyrealFEAR]

Yes thx i would plus rep but neg rep prevents plus repping
im pretty new at triggs
nvm

 

[TyrealFEAR]

Ok problem
They do atk but not at once and there going one by one
and get slaughtered
oh and the fact i want all 830 of them to atk at the same time or just about

 

[esb]

That is most likely caused by lag. There are systems that can make it go faster, but I forgot what it's called.

 

[TyrealFEAR]

how can the trigger lag but not the game?
also it was just raiders first {cause this is an army of orcs ATM and it was only raiders}

 

[Cokemonkey11]

raiders like other mounted and flying units have a high poly count, but that doesn't matter.

What's lagging is the fact you're making 830 units attack something at the same time. WC3 is meant for more like 12 units per player max.

 

[TyrealFEAR]

it spose to be like an Huge war so how could i improve it to atk seemingly simultaniously
and its like 600 grunts and 220 raiders 10 heros

 

[LightChaosma]

how about ordering them to attack 10 by 10, just have a wait 0.25 s in between. that would reduce the initial lag. however, warcraft starts lagging automaticly when 300+ units are on the move...

 

[TyrealFEAR]

how would i send them in 10 by 10?

 

[LightChaosma]

for each integer (variable) from 1 to (amount of units/10)
     pick 10 units from unitgroup
          order picked unit to attckmove to castle
     wait 0.25 game time seconds

the pick action needs some tweeking about picking the 10 closest ones to prevent jamming because unit X wont be able to attack becaue he's surrounded

OOO
OXO
OOO

 

[TyrealFEAR]

so how would that work if i want the front line of 12 grunts to start moving first after i say -Atk
that is if u dont mind rewriting

 

[LightChaosma]

wait a min... i'll write an example

 

[TyrealFEAR]

kk thx

                        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point[2])
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point[1])
                Unit - Order temp_unit[1] to Attack-Move To temp_point[1]
                Unit - Set the custom value of temp_unit[1] to 1
                Custom script:   call DestroyGroup (udg_temp_unitG[1])
                Wait 0.25 game-time seconds

this should work... i guess, i'm not quitte sure, i thought that the wait action would cause this to malfunction, if it does, tell me, then i have to split it in 2 triggers

 

[TyrealFEAR]

i cant copy and past can i?

 

[LightChaosma]

nop, not that i know of. another drawback of GUI

 

[TyrealFEAR]

HAHAHA joy

 

[NightShade]

You mean copy and past actions? then you just hold down the shift button and click on the top of the actions you want to copy and then on the bottom.

oh wait, you mean copy the text chaosma wrote, sadly you can't.

 

[TyrealFEAR]

So high light it and copy past?
