[Trigger] Making one unit follow another

[Linaze]

Hello dudes, I wonder if and then how you can do the following example with triggers. You control one hero, but there are two more heroes who follow your hero wherever you go, but I also want them to attack enemies that get too close, so I thought perhaps a trigger like this would do the job:

• Unit Following
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order Footman 0002 <gen> to Move To (Position of Footman 0003 <gen>)

Well, I was wrong. Since he does not attack nearby enemies now and only follows the second unit, so can someone help me to make one unit follow another and start attacking hostile enemies at sight and then retain the unit following, thanks.

• Unit - Order Footman 0002 <gen> to Attack-Move to (Position of Footman 0003 <gen>)

This would do the same thing but he attacks every hostile.

Also you can go to Unit - Order unit to issue a order pointing a unit, something.

Then select patrol and select your herovariable/footman.

Go with patrol

 

[Linaze]

But wont patrol make him walk to the hero, to previous positon and so on ?

 

[Super-Sheep]

Not actually. It doesn't return when patrol is used to an unit. (I think)

 

[Eccho]

When you right click on a unit in-game you will see that "patrol" is ordered. But well the unit will not patrol, just simply follow the unit instead.

you could do as well (as there are lots of suggestions you could do)...

• Unit - Order Footman 0002 <gen> to right-click Footman 0003 <gen>

However if I remember right, follow a unit may not always attack nearby enemies

 

[spiwn]

A patrolling unit will follow(as mentioned above) and will not return.
In addition, it will attack nearby enemies.

Tried patrol, didnt work so well, hmm. Should it be like this or ? ::

• Follow Trigger
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order Footman 0002 <gen> to Patrol To (Position of Footman 0003 <gen>)

Now he starts to walk back every now and then, plz help.

 

[UreDe4D]

why can't you just use:

• Unit - Order Footman 0002 <gen> to follow (Footman 0003 <gen>)

im not 100% sure if they will attack nearby enemies, but i think they do

 

[Super-Sheep]

Hm.. You need to PATROL TO UNIT in some way, not to POSIOTION OF UNIT.

 

[Huurka]

• Unit - Issue order targeting a unit.

Search for that in the action list.

 

[Linaze]

Huurka, there is no option for Patrol To unit, not one that I find anyways. There is just attack attack once and such, no patrol to unit

 

[spiwn]

Yes Huurka
But as patrol is a point order according to the GUI (stupid thing) use right click.

• Unit - Order Unit2 to Right Click Unit 1

P.s. That was mentioned above.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Then try to use Right Click insteand of Patrol. Its actually same thing.

E: spiwn posted on the same time :x

 

[Linaze]

Works all fine guys, +rep given to those who suggested the right click method, thanks guys.
