Attack Priority

[HerlySQR]

I think this has already been asked, but why do the towers always attack the Hero automatically if he has a low life? How can I make him only focus when he attacks a hero?

Towers try to be "smart" and therefore messing with you, I'd guess.
attack priority seems to contain reasonable information.

Basically, units with high "priority" is used for AI default attack priority.
To force the tower to target something in a specific situation, you will need to trigger it.

I would've used Damage Engine 5.7.0.3 to detect when damage is dealt from a hero to another hero, and search for (alive, enemy) towers within the attack-range for towers, and order it to attack the hero dealing the damage.
There might be a better solution, but at least this is a solution

Thanks for the help.

Ohh, and if you want an easier route than Damage Engine (that would check for damage dealt) it is possible to use the "Unit - Generic Event" and check for "A unit is attacked".
It is way worse (it triggers before the projectiles are fired for ranged units, and would not trigger on abilities dealing damage to heroes), but it is easier to use.
