Prevent unit from target allies

[ninehell]

i am making semi auto unit. I want the unit to cast the spell when he is attacked on enemy unit. but the problem is..if there is ally near him..he will target it because i set the trigger to pick any unit within 300 around him..so any unit include ally and enemy will be picked. how do i prevent this? is it possible to pick enemy unit behind him so it looks like semi boss fight?

Simple. You just need a matching condition.
Example:

• Set Temp_Group = (Units within 300.00 of (Position of (Attacked unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Attacked unit))) Equal to True))

P.S. Since you are using a random unit from the group you should make that matching condition an "And" condition. The first condition to exclude ally units (like in the example above), and the second condition to exclude dead units from the group (when picking up units, dead units are being picked as well).

Final result:

• Set Temp_Group = (Units within 300.00 of (Position of (Attacked unit)) matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Attacked unit))) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True)))

what if i want it to not targetting flying unit. just ground unit?

Then you add another "And" condition (Boolean Comparison > Unit - Unit Classification Check).

• Set Temp_Group = (Units within 300.00 of (Position of (Attacked unit)) matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Attacked unit))) Equal to True) and ((((Matching unit) is A flying unit) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))))

if i make 3 spell with chance to cast it. will it work? i dont want the 3 spell to be cast at the same time.. it will make the unit stuck

Depends on how you want them to be. Do you want it to have 15% chance to cast 1 of the 3 spells, or each spell to have it's own chance to be cast? You also have to consider the spells cooldowns in order not to cast a spell that is on cooldown (which will do nothing).

i want each spell has its own chance to be cast but what will happen if two spell with different chance triggered? do i have to worry about it?

Well, it needs to be tested (it will probably cast 1 of the triggered spells). When more than 1 spells are triggered, what do you want to happen, cast 1 of the triggered spells, or cast every one that's triggered?

if more than 1 spells are triggered..i want it to cast one of the triggered spells to prevent it to cast 2 spell at the same time because it will make the unit stuck.

Tricky, but I don't think it's impossible. Still, if I were you, I'd make it to have that 15% chance to cast 1 of the 3 spells at random. And if the chosen spell is on cool down, then cast one of the other 2.

good suggestion..how to do that?

Well, you know how you run a random value between 1 and 100, exactly like that, but you run it after it is 15 or less and this time you run a number between 1 and 3 and then an If/Then/Else: if value is 1 then cast spell 1, if value 2 - spell 2 and 3 - 3. As for spell cool downs, it will be a little more complicated there.
