Aquire target detection system.

[Callahan]

Can someone make a GUI friendly "aquire target" detection system?
It would be similar to weep's system GDD but instead registering "Event : Unit get damaged" and "Event - response damage source".
It'll be "Event : unit aquire a target" and "Event - response targeted Unit".

When you say "acquire a target", are you referring to when a unit is issued an order to attack a unit, when a unit begins its attack animation, or when the projectile is launched?

 

[Callahan]

The event unit aquire a target it's not attack.

Can you define "acquire a target". It's extremely vague to me. Is acquiring a target the same as when a unit is ordered to attack an object?

It is tedious to see that you do not even know the existence of a unit event so useful.
It is more tedious to see that you do not even take a look at the trigger editor to see if such a thing exists.
And on top of that, it is even more tedious to see that I have to make a Target Detection System...

So here it is TDS:
(Be aware that this system is only detecting auto-acquires of units. Aka, units that are idle and then notice a target in range to attack it.)

It's weird that acquire target is a specific unit event, not a player-unit event.

I also had that problem in the past. But it is very easily solved via dynamically created and destroyed triggers.

Thanks Wietlol!
It's useful you should submit it to spell and system section.
To make a better demo you could force those footmen to activate defend upon aquiring.

I have created things that are far more useful... for me
