[Trigger] finding closest unguarded Sheep?

[Deantwo]

ok... i have this Wolf... that wanna go hunting every night... but i want it to attack the closest unguarded sheep to it's den... i saw a JASS code for finding closest unit (can't find it any more...)... but i understand nothing of JASS and i think it's a little harder anyway... so... anyone willing to help out? ^^;

Edit: ooh and... i'll like it all to not be JASS... ^^;

Pick all units on map matching your sheep and compair the distances between the 2 units. WHich ever is the shortest distance is the closest.

Warning, in GUI this will leak unless you are carefull and will be horriably unefficent.

If you really have trouble with it WEU has a function for this, (Find closest unit next to loc matching condition).

It is doable in GUI, just like I said if you have a lot of sheep it may lag while it is preformed. However, it is impossiable with out basic maths or JASS knowledge.

i am pretty good at math... ^^; but all this about Triggers leaking is... well... new... ^^; i am not that good at making a map... i mean... i end up starting on something new as soon as i end in a jam... ^^;

PS: sorry for double post ^^; i forgot... i am use to it being allowed everywhere

The protected sheep, are they in a feild or something, do they move around and stuff?

You could an aura called 'Protected Sheep' or something. . . then change its targets. . . use Ancient and then change your sheep to ancient. . .

Create a dummy unit with the aura and place it on your field(s).

Then use the trigger to find the closest cheep without the aura buff.

I hope you know what I mean. . . maybe I didn't explain it clear enough. . .
