Berserker Unit Script

[Nubius]

Hi guys!
I'm currently making a spell, which makes unit aggressive to all.

I need to trigger two specific fuctions:
1. This unit must attack anyone. Even his own team. So if I cast my spell on two units, they'll have to kill each other.
2. If possible, I'd like to gain experience for units, killed by the berserker

I haven't managed to find any information on this issue.

Thank you very much in advance!

And how long is that spell supposed to last? Will they try to target enemy first? Ally first? Change target?

 

[Nubius]

I'm thinking of progressive duration, depending on ability level, but it is not necessary.

Target = closest unit in sight range. When target dies, switch to another closest unit. Like neutral hostile, but with attacking allies.

Do you want to have control over the unit? If not, you could just change its owner to neutral hostile or something.

Precisely what I was thinking. The thing is, even if he wanted to have control over it then the ability would make no sense whatsoever.

Doesn't work if there's neutral hostile targets aswell, if not it's fine if you remove the bounty.

If there is neutral hostile units, couldn't you just use Neutral Extra or Neutral Victim? Since those players is almost never used anyway.

Changing team won't work because affected units have to fight each other as well (they just won't do it if they have the same team).

Nevertheless, I understand that my plan can be too difficult. Then I just need to know it for sure.

And no - I don't want to have control over affected units - I consider them as uncontrollable insane killing machines.

You could make a trigger that literally just orders it to attack nearest unit, but you would probably still need to change owner, or something similar, since players can cancel orders.

 

[Nubius]

I see! Thank you very much!

You could have two unused player slots and switch control of the berserking unit to them, and switch ownership around whenever there's more than two berserking units in sight of each other.

 

[Wrda]

And if there's more than 2 berserking units this won't work.
So basically - 1) have an used player slot (neutral extra)
2) when it becomes berserker, change owner
3) order to attack the nearest unit
If you change owner after ordering the attack, the unit will cancel the order.

 

[doom_sheep]

you want to catch orders.

e:
unit is issued order targeting a point
unit is issued order targeting an object
etc
c:
unit is berserked
a:
turn off this trigger
make unit attack berserk target
turn on this trigger

it doesn't tend to be perfect though (spamming orders lets you cancel attack swings) so you may also want to change the units owner
