[AI] Make AI defend another AI ally

[Acolite333]

Hiya all, I was wondering if there was a way for me to make one of my AI defend the player (or another AI) that is allied to them. I have DefendUser set to true but they don't actually defend each other for some reason, and I'm not sure how else to make them properly defend each other. If anyone has any ideas on how I can make this work within the script or even with triggers I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

Attached are the two AI scripts. It's the Human AI that I want to help defend the Nightelf AI if they are attacked. Other than the defending, they are pretty simple AIs.

~~Bump~~ Still wondering if someone can help me with having AI's defend each other if they are on a team.

Does this need to be done in triggers perhaps or is there a function I can put into my AI itself to do it?

I know there is "SetDefendPlayer(true)" but it wasn't working when I wanted my AI to defend his allies. Any tips on this would be appreciated.

Perhaps look into the melee AI? Or did they also only use SetDefendPlayer(true)?

Yeah in particular I'd check the Night Elf Frozen Throne missions Ruins of Dalaran cos Kaels blood elves are scripted to defend your base in it.
