Conditional firing.

[Anarki]

Alright, I have my turret. It can either do nothing, or attack things. It will not attack anything unless given an order.

Now, an enemy footman comes into range of the turret. I order my turret to fire on the footman.

But wait! I want to check if a condition is met (is the footman the color blue, for example) - before I allow the turret to attack. If the footman is not blue, I want to stop it from firing (I assume I send it the order to stop?).

But, if this condition is met, our turret will happily fire at the footman. But wait! The footman suddenly turns purple - and I want to check whenever the turret fires (or just before), if the footman is blue - if it is not, then stop firing.

Any idea's what events I need, and how I would structure my triggers?

You need this:

• Unit is issued an order targeting an unit
• Conditions - Unit type of triggering unit equal to *yourunit*
  • - Order Comparison - Issued order equal to Attack
• Actions - If/then/else
  • - If *your conditions*
  • - Then *your actions*
  • - Else do Unit issue order - Issue triggering unit to Stop

If this helped you give me rep point .

Well, I guess that works, but only for the first bit (when starting to attack).

It won't stop the turret while it's still attacking, though.

Add this:

• Events - Unit is attacked
• Conditions - Unit type of attacking unit equal to *your unit*
• Actions - If/then/else
  • - If *your condition*
  • - Then *your action*
  • - Else Unit - Order attacking unit to stop

There is an delay but i don't know better.

Yeah, that should be fine.

+- one shot should be alright - I don't need precision.
