Increasing the priority of attack on a unit of a certain type

[Kadel]

I am new to War3 World Editor and I am trying to do monster waves that will attack the player's/computer 's camp. I made a custom unit called "City Gate", just to block monsters for a certain amount of time in terrain passages. I assumed that the enemy units would attack the gate in priority (because they have no choice and there is nothing else to attack), the Gate is owned by the player, but they just stand there and watch as they are killed by towers...

And I am going to fix this, but I am not sure what to do. At first, I wrote a script that will force the enemy to attack the Gate. But it will only work for this Gate. So, If the solution is trigger, I wonder how to force the enemy to attack not the Gate, but the Type of Unit, so the enemy will have priority on the Gate Type Unit. (I mean I am bad at this stuff)

Or at last, it should be easier to give the Gate previously invented (but not yet ready) custom ability, like "Passive Taunt" ?

I replied to this before the database fuckery with a response but it's gone now since the restore. Basically: store all your gates in a destructible array. Every few seconds, loop through that array and check if each gate is alive--if so, order nearby (brown?) units to attack the gate.

Alternatively, you could make the Gate Invulnerable and place a Unit on top of it that has no collision and have it act as the Gate. As this unit takes damage you could then damage the gate, or just detect when the Unit dies and Destroy the gate in response. Not the cleanest solution but it gets the job done.

You could then give the Gate Unit an attack that deals 0-0 damage or some ability on autocast that draws aggro if the AI still ignores it.

I will try both variants, thank you

The easiest way is to give the gate an attack, that will make units attack it naturally, even just 1 attack damage is enough
