I'm making a small AoS map for my friends and I.

I want to give units priorities to attack specific units over others.

Eg I have a mortar team, I want it to attack unarmored units first, and then towers if they are nearby.

is there anyways of doing this without being superlaggy ?

Hmmm... I don't know much about attack prioritizing, but I don't think you can do anything with AI scripts about that behavior. My guess is that you need to use triggers and specific unit orders, but that would cause a lot of lag and require extensive coding.

Perhaps AIAndy knows a solution for this problem, if he has implemented something similar in AMAI. I'd wait for his response.

Hey i could try and help, if you are using World Editor, not AMAI. Just use specific Conditions.

If "blank type of unit" is "equal to" "number of units"

use something like that. but just replace it, and use integer comparison.

Its all about your conditions.
the conditions basicly just tell the attack what it must require for it to attack.

note this is only for AI editor, that came with the world editor.
