Is it possible to make Demolishers focus attack on a Region?

[Noobnew]

Sooo basically I want those demolishers on the right side to "attack ground" on the Region006 and 007 on the walls I made, but I have no idea what I'm doing and they do nothing instead? Is there a way I can do that? I try making a dummy unit and using the "order Unit targeting a unit" but they don't even attack it for some reason even without Locust.

You want attack ground on point instead of unit. Order unit targeting a point

 

[Noobnew]

I tried but they're attacking the footman instead

Can you attack ground the point you want yourself if you control the demolisher?

Can you post the trigger where the attack ground command is issued?

We need more information about Demolish. How it's set up.

The problem might visibility, range. Is it set as artillery? (otherwise it wouldn't be able to attack ground)

Or maybe the trigger never activates, if the demolisher isn't executing any order

Sorry for the late reply.. I got busy recently.

i just decided to scrap the demolisher altogether lol, sorry. I tried figuring it out but it just won't let me. I only really wanted those demolisher to make this map look like a siege cinema or smth

But the way I did it something like

Unit - Order (Demolisher) to > Attack Ground > Random point in (Region 006),

They attack the units instead

If the random point is too far away from the Demolisher or unreachable then it'll probably give up and begin autoattacking. Also, it's likely that the AI is giving them direct orders, which you could fix by changing their Player Property from Computer to None. You can temporarily change their ownership during the cinematic if you eventually need them to be Computer-owned again. Worst case you could try to brute force their Attack Ground order by issuing new orders on a fast timer (ie: every 0.10s), that way even if the AI overwrites their order it will almost immediately get replaced with what you want.
