keeping units inside an aura

[rAmPaGingONI]

im making a lich hero and im wondering how to make the skeletons he spawns stay inside his aura so that they dont have to be controlled, but wont be left behind. also so they stay in fron of him, wich the follow order cant do

I don't know, maybe this help:

Independant Summons 1.8 - Wc3campaigns
Never used.

 

[Vegavak]

Vexorian already wrote a trigger for this. It's called "Independent summons".

I'd look into it if I were you.

LOL!!!
I have to say... that is pretty damn funny!

You could just order the units to a random point within the radius, then just redo the order every second, or so.

You'd have to attack-move, unless you wan them to just run around not attacking any unit.

 

[Lord_BoNes]

True that. Forgot to add that part, but at least you're on the ball.

 

[Saishy]

Attack-move will make the unit move outside the aura if chasing something

 

[DeathWind]

It won't, because eventually they will lose the target, as they are issued a new order every 1 seconds. And also, with 1s difference on attack move, and they are already attacking a unit will make them think long and interfere with their capability to fight.

I suppose someone made a spell for this, but I'm not an expert.

Locust Swarm?

Thought of that?

do u mean the locust ability that makes stuff unselectable or the crypt lords ult? cuz the 2nd one wont work. the units are summoned 1 by 1 and are permanent
i suppose i could use terradonts suggestion but have them ordered to walk back into the aura if htey lose its buff. or would that not work?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Locust Swarm does not work unless the units it spawns are locusts, otherwise it acts as a normal summon spell.

lol my bad i meant the units im sumoning that i want to keep in the aura
ive got a spell already that im using to summon them so locust swarm wouldnt work

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

-.- just make the aura effect the skelos only and give them a buff then make a trigger stating if a unit has a buff order him to (do whatever) within your region..

 

[rAmPaGingONI]

but if they just move htey wont be effective and if they atk move then they will chase stuff out of the aura. or am i missing something?

 

[Saishy]

Do the opposite.

Create a trigger checking every 0,25s if a unit of type "summon" don't have the buff, then order it to move to his summoner.

That trigger will be different depending of your map. (Number of units that can use that spell, and if how much units a player is allowed to have)

ok htanks all it works now. +rep
