Creep Aggression System

[AllGhilliedUp]

I'm curious on how to make it so that when you attack a creep, it'll turn aggressive, then after some time, while not being attacked, turn back to a passive unit.

Example:
You attack Enemy A.
Enemy A goes from Neutral Passive to Neutral Hostile.
You run away.
After 5 seconds of not being attacked, Enemy A turns back to Neutral Passive.

Currently, I've got something that makes it so when a unit's attacked, it turns to its aggressive state, but not something so that after a set time, it reverts back.

Thanks if you can help me.

I can try to help you

Do you have lots of creeps in the map? Do you generally encounter more than one creep at the same time?

It shouldn't be too difficult to create it for a single creep, one trigger to keep up with several creeps may prove to be more difficult, but not impossible.

Yeah, there's going to be lots of creeps. They're supposed to be wandering about, so they you could encounter more than one at once. My main issue is that I can't find anything so that I could use something like,"Unit is not attacked" or "Unit is still not attacked", or something along those lines.

function Trig_blahblahblah takes nothing returns nothing
    call SetUnitOwner( GetTriggerUnit(), Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), true )
    call TriggerSleepAction(5.00)
    call SetUnitOwner(GetTriggerUnit(), Player((PLAYER_NEUTRAL_PASSIVE), true)
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_blahblahblah takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_blahblahblah = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_blahblahblah, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ATTACKED )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_blahblahblah, function Trig_blahblahblah )
endfunction

make a trigger, call it blahblahblah, convert to custom text, delete verything, and convert that into it.

Change your units' acquisition range to 0. Then, it will not attack until provoked. Neutrals return to their camp automatically if they move 500 range from it, so if you need them to stop, you'll just have to run

 

[AllGhilliedUp]

Thanks, I'll try using both of your methods.

Hijax's method will not know when the unit is done being attacked; it will simply change back after 5 seconds. I suggest Kercyn's idea.

 

[Hijax]

yeah, kercyns idea is plain out better than mine.
