How to make units not attack over obstacle?

[Bulish]

Hey,

I need a little help from you guys again..

The problem is that on my map, I spawn units close to each other, but sepparated by a cliff (2 high). Units are supposed to run away from the cliff to attack a thing there, but they don't and they try to attack (and ranged units do) units on the other side of the cliff.

What I tried:
Make a gap of no visibility between them - did not work.
Put a line of sight block between them - did not work.

What I can't try:
Make them allied, I need them to be enemies.
Spawn them further away (I can, but it would mean change whole map).

To sum it up - how to make units, that are in enemy relation to each other, not attack each other, when there is a obstacle they should not see over?

And I realised it can be chaotic to read as I don't know how to explain it, so there is a picture. Large areas are the visibilities of left or right side, and small are the spawn areas of waves.

I think you should make them allied and then when they reach some good distance from each other you should change the owner of the unit. If you have any problems then message me or pass the map, I can fix it by other methods !!!!

i don;t know if there is a trigger that checks terrain level, but if there is, try stopping the attacking unit if the units are on different terrain levels.

If they attack each other, then they see each other.
Make sure that there is no vision from one to two and the other way around.
Then it should work.

Doesn't a unit give vision of itself to nearby enemies when it attacks? I've never really known the rules of that, such as if it only gives vision to what it's attacking ( and thus its team if shared vision is enabled ), but that could be an issue.

Combine my http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/lab-715/demo-block-ranged-shooting-through-trees-249312/ with Maker's http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...h-v1-1-1-1-a-205784/?prev=d=list&r=20&u=maker to get the result you want. Give them a melee attack for a few seconds then switch them back then continue in order to exploit pathing to accomplish your goal.

Otherwise you can try to make your own path checker and abuse Acquire range and/or range checks with cliff checks. Good luck, I might make my own system if nobody else does.

But I don't get the problem.
There are 2 units that are separated by a cliff.
They are enemies and will attack each other on sight.
The problem is that neither of them knows that there is another unit behind the cliff because they cannot see it.
Unless you have disabled FoW or made some other visibility things that will make them see each other.

Neither of the above should be used in that way because 1, FoW should always be there and be removed by a visibility modifier; and 2, AI players shouldn't have visibility modifiers at all. (Unless that is necessary for their behavior which isn't in this case.)

So I don't really get what the problem is.

Make a region and create the obstacle there.
You can then make a trigger that stops each unit that tries to attack while in the region.

You can also just order them to normal move and then 1 second later you order them to attack move.
By that time, they are out of range of each other.

I thought I had a good piece of code for that... can't find it any more though.
Gotta rip it from my project then.
