Ignore ranged attackers?

[Ramza]

Is there a way to do this? I want units to keep on moving, even if they're attacked by ranged units.

Edit: It's for a desense map. Attackers are walking through a path, and archers standing on a wall are firing at these units.

The attackers should ignore the ranged units (because they will stop moving, trying to get to the archers, blocking everything, etc), but they should still attack others if they're crossing their path. So I can't use ''move'' instead of ''atack-move''.

What kind of a system is it?

Here's something really simple. Try it.

• Untitled Trigger 077
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Footman 0022 <gen>
  • Actions
    • Set p1 = (Target point of issued order)

• Untitled Trigger 078
  • Events
    • Unit - Footman 0022 <gen> Acquires a target
  • Conditions
    • ((Targeted unit) is A ranged attacker) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Footman 0022 <gen> to Move To p1

You should make it MUI, remove the leak and use a countdown timer instead of wait.

Like he said.

AFAIK units will ignore anything if theyre ordered to move instead of attack move.

Well, it's for a desense map. Attackers are walking through a path, and archers standing on a wall are firing at these units.

The attackers should ignore the ranged units (because they will stop moving, trying to get to the archers, blocking everything, etc), but they should still attack others if they're crossing their path.

I had a defense map before where I had a similar problem. Units would clog up near the cliff edges of the fortress and just sit there and be killed over and over again. To get past it I added a 0-0 damage attack to the walls I used and it worked perfectly (as well as increasing the attackers' engagement radius to about 2000 and giving them vision of the map).

Perhaps you could build off of this idea. The attackers are bots, yes? If so, a similar attempt could be made.

 

[Ramza]

Giving the bots vision of the whole map might work. I'll try out your other ideas as well. Thanks.

Give the vision to the bots like xeno said, and order unit to move, it should work
Also, you could do something in Aquisition range, if I said it correctly.

make the archers invulnerable??
no attacking then

In object editor,change the "Stats - Can flee" to false for your attackers. It maybe can affect this,i'm not sure. You have nothing to lose if you try though.

True. Maybe I can play around with that a bit.

Alright, I'll try it out.
