So, the following triggers deal with barricades and zombie AI in a survival map I've been working on...
Basically, with the barricades, I've found that making them units that the zombies can walk around makes it a lot easier on me, because if the zombies couldn't walk through them their default AI has them start running around all willy nilly trying to find a path into the base.
The problem now is that I needed to create several triggers that force the zombies to attack the barricades rather than just walk through.
One of these triggers is causing WC3 to crash to the desktop if more than one zombie is in the "door area" at a a time when the barricades fall:
Thing is, this trigger used to be fine with an old Zombie AI trigger that I was using. Problem with the old trigger was that it worked by frequently telling the zombies to attack a random enemy unit.
I wanted to change their AI to instead attack move to an average point between players, and every time the trigger ran to prioritize targets closer to them.
After saving my changes though and testing it out, I started getting the game crashes I described above. :banghead:
This is the new Zombie AI trigger:
As it turns out, it still has a few problems... Namely, if the zombies kill a barricade, then they dance around for a few seconds, and if there isn't an enemy within 500 range, they go home to wherever they spawned from.
