how to order just unloaded units

[[K40$]-Spectre]

- fixed, see below

Hi all,

I made a system where AI do droppings (with flying transports), but as soon as they unloaded the units at the enemy base, the unloaded units just walk back to their own base (except when being attacked by e.g. enemy towers) even while the enemy buildings are in their attack range.

So I need to give them an order to attack-move. I just don't really know which event I need to use. At the moment I have the following but it doesn't work (I thought maybe that when a unit is unloaded it re-enters the map):

• AI unit is unloaded
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) controller) Equal to Computer
    • ((Triggering unit) is A peon-type unit) Not equal to True
    • ((Triggering unit) is A structure) Not equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set TEMP_PointUnload = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack-Move To TEMP_PointUnload
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TEMP_PointUnload)

Anyone an idea? +rep for helpers

Why don't you order to attack right after do the Unload Unit order?

You can use this to detect unloading: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/unit-event-v2-0-0-0-a-201641/

You need to tell the enemy army to attack the base as well as dropping it in the base. Otherwise the AI will think the army should be in his base so retreat it there.

In StarCraft II you could create a custom attack wave that you order to attack where you dropped. In Warcraft III I am not sure how one goes about doing it as programming AI is a lot harder but I am guessing you still need to order the army to attack the base.

Thanks for the comments;

Why don't you order to attack right after do the Unload Unit order?

, an issue order does not work while they are transported (atleast not in this case, tested it a few times). Units just keep retreating to their base if they are not attacked.

You can use this to detect unloading: Unit Event v2.0.0.0

, that sounds like a good solution, I get script errors though when copying it to my map & saving the map (I followed the 4 steps of 'installing' it), something about wrong name or something like that (can post a screenshot if needed).

You need to tell the enemy army to attack the base as well as dropping it in the base. Otherwise the AI will think the army should be in his base so retreat it there.

, it is probably possible through the 'send ai command' trigger, but I have no clue how that one works.

Please help, I need this fixed so I can update my map.

You are propably missing a variable. Post the error.

You are propably missing a variable. Post the error.

, my quess is the DEvTimer variable is missing, thanks for taking the time so far +rep

image unit event error

-edit, I fixed it by adding the DEvTimer as a variable. Thanks for steering me right way Maker. And thanks Spartipilo and Dr Super Good for trying to help.

-edit edit, I cannot do really much with this event atm. - fixed

Try the position of the unloaded unit or the unloading unit.

Yeah you're right, I overlooked that first. Thanks for the help Maker.
