Also, it's often very much easier to control NPC units if you have not set an AI player at all to that player slot. I.e. in the map settings you leave Player 21 (Coal) empty, so there's no player there, not even Computer. This way the AI won't order the units around at all. If possible, this is definitely the way to go, if you must have a lot of control over units via triggers. The downside is that the units don't know how to cast any spells (except auto-cast ones, ofc), but they can triggered via triggers as well.
It could be a solution but as you said they don't know how to use spells. There are too many units to trigger it. I mean problem with triggering it will be bigger than topic problem.
I noticed that in the last trigger you showed you're using "unit group - issue order" instead of issuing it to individual units in the loop, that probably won't help because if I remember correctly that one has a limit of twelve units and also does the group movement behaviour (aka the way units move if you order them in group in game yourself) which could muddle stuff up with the units trying to stay in coherency.
Do you happen to run any ai scripts for player 21? Cause that could be muddling things up as well.
Adding in a fall back is probably a good idea as well, look at say the Uther behaviour in human mission 2. Store their destination somewhere and just occasionally reorder them to attack move to their destination.
1. It seems that I didn't know about that loop method. It will be much better when units are ordered separately. Can you present me how to do this?
2. Do you mean
-
Melee Game - Run melee AI scripts (for computer players)
or something else?
Anyway I don't use either of them.
3. I have a solution that prevents reverse.
-
Anti Reverse Red
-
Events
-
Unit - A unit enters Red Spawner <gen>
-
Conditions
-
(Owner of (Entering unit)) Equal to Player 21 (Coal)
-
Actions
-
Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack-Move To (Center of Red 2 <gen>)
When unit decided to back to its spawner region. It gets the same order so finaly it will do it.
About your solution:
Well I have a 6 spawners and 6 separated destination for them.
The best solution will be to:
pick every unit owned by player 21
order them to move to specified region
Lets create array of regions to keep destination in it.
Then I can set custom value of unit, when spawning them.
So leater I can extract that information.
But solution like evey 180 sec of the game it not good.
I don't know if I can use event -> when unit stops but it will be the best.
Time - Elapsed game time is 180.00 seconds
Wait 2.00 seconds
