Quick Question

How do you make a tower damage the unit it's hitting AND all units nearby?

Change the 'combat - Attack 1 - weapon type' in the object editor to Missile (Splash) or trigger it.

The easiest way is to change the weapon type of your tower to something that does splash damage.

This can be done by changing the "Weapon Type"-field on your tower to Missile (Splash), Artillery or Artillery (Line).

If your tower is going to upgrade its attack from 1 target to multiple targets, you can leave its combat settings untouched and use a Cleaving Attack ability.

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit finishes an upgrade
• Conditions
  • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Enhanced Force
• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit)) of type Tower) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Add Cleaving Attack to (Picked unit)

That wouldn't be the best method to add the ability though since it wouldn't add it for new towers...

You won't need a trigger if you use upgrades; it could be done all in the Object Editor. Just add the Cleaving Attack ability to your tower units and make sure Techtree - Requirements has the upgrade and that Techtree - Check Dependencies is set to true in the ability.
