[Trigger] Order a group of 12 units to do the same thing as the Hero

[Red Orca]

Ok, is this do-able?

I have a group of 12 orc grunts and a Blademaster.

Here's what I wanna do:

I order the blademaster to :Attack/Move/Move Attack/Patroll/Hold/Stop/Right Click Commands, then I want the group to do the same thing and stay in formation, I also want the group to be unselectable but attackable.

Simular to having a group of 11 and a Hero and telling them to Move/Attack/Attack Move ect, but like I said I want the group to be unselectable. . .

I also need it to be MUI. . .

Formation would be nasty to do, but otherwise, you can do it.

I'm just doubtful you can do it well in GUI.

 

[Red Orca]

I kinda had a GUI ver of it, but R-Click comands messed it up. . . and they didnt stick to formations. . .

 

[PurplePoot]

How did RClick commands mess it up? Just register the order "smart"

As for the formations, you just need to calculate offsets based on the number of units in the control group, which can be a little long to write.

 

[Dr Super Good]

You need to issue the order the hero is issued to all the units.
Dump the idea of formations, WC3 is not a combat simulator and thus neat rows of marching grunts is impossiable. You can formate them up at the end with the use of offset and loops.

Scrap this idea if you want it easily in GUI otherwise go to JASS.

 

[PurplePoot]

He said he already had it working, except for Right-Click and formations, super, so I assume it works in GUI well enough.

yeh thats a good way to tackle it.

 

[Red Orca]

Duh. . . I completly forgot about 'smart' ><

I still need a way to make the group unselectable but still attackable. . . so I can't use the 'locust' ability. . . any ideas?

If anyone has played 'Kingdom Under Fire' on the XBOX, its that kinda thing im trying to reproduce. . .

You can make selection event trigger, which will automatically deselect them when selected.

 

[Red Orca]

yeah, I tried that but had a few problems with it. . . but I think I can fix that. . . I was just looking for a lazy way out. . .
