Can't kill your own units

[Marcell]

Hi,

How do I make it so that you can't attack your own units? I'm sure it has something to do with "targets allowed" but I don't know which option it is, unless it's a trigger I need?

Trigger it: a unit acquires a target, target belongs to An ally, order unit to stop

Edit: the event I meant was "A unit is attacked"

 

[Marcell]

I assume you said "acquires" >.<?

Yes, typed it over the phone, didn't check it before sending. Oops
Here it is:

• AntiTK
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Owner of (Attacking unit)) is an ally of (Owner of (Attacked unit))) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Stop

One could also try adding target filters to the unit attacks such that it cannot target friendly or player owned units. That said the WC3 target filter system is kind of inconsistent so this might not be possible.

Thanks, I'll try it later, but just a question: Unit - A unit Is attacked, so does this register before you attack? It looks like a script that Attacks-> Now stop attacking the unit.

Yes, it triggers before the damage, as soon as the unit starts the swing animation.

It looks like a script that Attacks-> Now stop attacking the unit.

Not completely sure what you mean by this.

Just my interpretation when reading the script, lol. I'm home now so will check it out, thanks again.
