Second map sys +rep

[.VTZ.]

in my second map 'plants vs zombies:

Zombies spawn - Zombies walk down their lane - You kill sombies by constructing towers and walls that will stop them from destroying your farm.

This is my first REAL project and everything have worked out fine... until now.
Problem:
I want my towers to only attack the zombies on their own lane.

At the moment, towers do attack closest zombie and dosen't care if it is on its own lane or not.
I can't solve this problem on my own, so i ask you for help. Do you have a tip or a solution?
This is the problem:

And this is what i need help with to accomplish my vision:

If you guys can help me i will give +rep and special thanks
ty.

Is this only for 1 player?

yes.

Why don't you create lanes that each of it is separated by walls/cliffs/doodads ?

Picture

Separate them up by doodads
OR, you could separate them with cliffs, it'd be better

 

[Dr. House]

that never works since the attack just gos straight threw them. I supose you need to trigger this in som way but i have no idea how.

 

[defskull]

I was wrong with the doodads, I meant Cliffs/Ramps can cover this up
Or the simple and yet hard thing to do: TRIGGER IT
By using knowledge of angles through Hypotenuse Cos Sin and Tan, this all gonna be used up =D

You could trigger it by comparing the angle and the distance from attacker to target. That way you could plot the edges of the lane in a way. Very much possible.

However here's a bit more simple solution:

Trigger

• Stop Attack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Guard Tower
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • And - All (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • (Region 003 <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
                • (Region 003 <gen> contains (Attacking unit)) Equal to True
            • And - All (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • (Region 004 <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
                • (Region 004 <gen> contains (Attacking unit)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Stop
        • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: Stop

It only works well if the lanes are horizontal or vertical, since regions can then cover the lane in a better way.

There might be another ways too, I'm trying to think this problem further.

Done
And I know it HAS to do with Stop order through trigger, LOL + Regions covered, pretty much same as my prevent attack region trigger from the recent thread
