Making Units Walk

[Codexx]

How would I make a unit spawn and then walk to a region or attack a specific unit? Lets say I saved a unit to a variable, could I spawn units and order them to attack that person and ignore everything else? Or even all the units in a unit Group?

Because I can make them move but all the moves are "Move(Instantly)' and I don't want them to teleport, I want them to walk towards a unit.

Also, quick question. What's the max file size for a campaign to be played over LAN?

You can't play campaigns over LAN.

Lan limit is 4 megabytes
and your command is

unit - issue order unit to target a point/unit
if you target a point you can attack/move ther i.e

1: I'm 99% sure you CAN play custom campaigns over LAN.

2: Thanks for the help!

3: only 4 MB for a Campaign over LAN? That doesn't make any sense. The max size on B.net is 4 MB so wouldn't it make sense a campaign allows for more?

How would the game know if the map is a campaign or a normal map if its a custom map? It doesnt make sense

 

[Codexx]

By using the Campaign editor to string together multiple maps, it considers it a Campaign.

Only Campaigns can have a string of connected maps anyways.

What doesn't make sense to me is the logic that a map up to 4 MB can be played over the internet, which is harder to do than over a small area, but yet a campaign, comprised of multiple maps, can not be played over LAN, which basically means your partner is sitting right next to you and you are connected by a small cable, or at worst using the same Wi-Fi router.

But both would be limited to 4 MB? No, I'm pretty sure it's a larger amount. There's no the online limitations could apply to LAN.

As far as i know the limit to multiplayer maps is 4 mb

get yourself a map thats over 4 mb or create one and try to play it on lan
i think you can't even host it

Question is, HOW to host campaigns? .w3n files can't be hosted. And you can't link maps together on the internet, I think.

 

[Codexx]

Not on the internet. I'm pretty sure that campaigns can be hosted. I'll load up Frozen Throne later and see.
