Checking is there an enemy nearby

[Dumblor]

I tried a lot of variations , yet none of them work.

PaladinArmy1 is a unit group variable.
Paladin1 is the unit that the army belongs to.

There is a trigger like this :

• Events
  • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Order PaladinArmy1 to Follow Paladin1

And so , they allways follow their leader. Though there's a problem with fighting. I made a lot of triggers , but they all failed. All I want is that the trigger would check , if there are enemies nearby , or if the paladin1 is under attack (or whole PaladinArmy1). For example , I made this change :

• Events
  • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
• Conditions
  • Paladin1 Not equal to (Attacked unit)
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Order PaladinArmy1 to Follow Paladin1

It still didn't worked. Any suggestions ? Or it is impossible without the jass *scary music* ?

Try ordering them to Right-Click instead of Follow.

I tried it. They don't follow at all.

If you want the army to attack anything in sight then follow the paladin. You could order the army to attack-move to the position of Paladin1. However in this way, even if the paladin1 runs away, his army will still fight anything it sees.

Works for me....

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Right-Click Paladin 0001 <gen>

The thing is , I want them to stop following while in battle. Your idea is better than mine , sure , 'cause they attack at all , but in battle , every two seconds they return to their leader , which makes them crapy. I need a trigger to turn this off while in battle , or a good condition , 'cause I tried a lot and none of them worked ;( .

This simply follows

• follow
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Order unitgroup to Follow paladin1

When the paladin takes damage, it turns off the following and orders the army to attack.

• take damage
  • Events
    • Unit - Scout Tower 0000 <gen> Takes damage
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Action_Time = 5.00
    • Trigger - Turn off follow <gen>
    • Unit Group - Order unitgroup to Attack (Damage source)

This trigger counts down and when the paladin doesn't take damage for 5 seconds, they resume following instead of fighting.

• action timer
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Action_Time = (Action_Time - 1.00)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Action_Time Equal to 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on follow <gen>
        • Unit Group - Order unitgroup to Follow paladin1
      • Else - Actions

The only downsides is if the attacking unit is unreachable.

That was really 1337. Thanks . I didn't thought of using variables , next time I'll allways do.
