Squads moves throught lanes

Herod · Oct 25, 2020

I am trying to make a map with massive units battle. To this, the enemy train units that goes to a specific place.

When the wave has for ex 12 footman and 12 riffleman it goes trought a lane.

I´ve got this but they go in idian Indian row one by one. How do move the squads throught specifc points in map in formation?

IDK why blizzard still dont fix the select units to more than only 12 units..........

Make sure to give them group orders, and not give each individual unit their own order.

Herod · Oct 25, 2020

need put the units in unit group?

loktar · Oct 25, 2020

Yes, and do something like this:

Unit Group - Order UnitGroup to Move To (Center of (Playable map area))

Herod · Oct 25, 2020

For exemple, a barracks trains footmans, when an area has 24 footmans, it will create 2 unit group of 12 footmans, how do that

Its goin one lane only, to test, the unit group walks trought points in map

HerlySQR · Oct 26, 2020

If you wanna order to undefined number of units just use

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in AtaqueNorte <gen> owned by Player 1 (Red)) and do(Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To (Center of AtaquePeloSul <gen>))

And don't use "Issue order group".

And what is this?

Set VariableSet Bellagente = (Random integer number between 1 and 1)
Bellagente Equal to 2

That variable only can be 1.
And one more thing, when you use unit group functions like "Units in ataqueNnecro <gen> owned by Player 5 (Yellow)" you are creating a group that will never be erased (this is called "memory leak"), same with points "Center of AtaquePeloSul <gen>" to solve it just do:

Set VariableSet Temp_Group = (Units in ataqueNnecro <gen> owned by Player 5 (Yellow))
Set VariableSet Temp_Loc = (Center of AtaquePeloSul <gen>)
Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_Group and do (Order (Picked Unit) to Attack-Move To Temp_Loc)
Custom script call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group)
Custom script call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc)

This will cause the issue described in OP though, where they move in single file. Issuing a group order will make them move in formation, like when you manually issue an order to your selected units.

But this:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in AtaqueNorte <gen> owned by Player 1 (Red)) and do (Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to MilitiaAttackers1)

Should be replaced by

Set MilitiaAttackers1 = (Units in AtaqueNorte <gen> owned by Player 1 (Red))

or

Unit Group - Add (Units in AtaqueNorte <gen> owned by Player 1 (Red)) to MilitiaAttackers1

(and preferably fix the memory leak like described in previous post)

Oh, I see, so he can try this:

Set Temp_Group = Units in "Your Region"
Set Temp_Loc = "Your attack point"
Custom script: loop
Custom script: exitwhen IsUnitGroupEmptyBJ(udg_Temp_Group) == true
Set Temp_Group2 = (Random 12 units in Temp_Group)
Unit Group - Order Temp_Group2 attack-move to Temp_Loc
Unit Group - Remove Temp_Group2 from Temp_Group
Custom script: DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group2)
Custom script: endloop
Custom script: RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc)
Custom script: DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group)

No need to divide them in groups of 12, it works the same for larger groups.

Really?, it says "This will issue an order to at most 12 units from the specified unit group".

loktar · Oct 27, 2020

Oh for real, sorry didn't know that.

Herod · Oct 28, 2020

I´ve done one simple to understand.

AtaqueProntoTEAL
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters MilitiaTEAL <gen>
- Conditions
  - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 3 (Teal)
  - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Milicia
  - (Number of units in (Units in MilitiaTEAL <gen> owned by Player 3 (Teal))) Greater than or equal to 11
- Actions
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in MilitiaTEAL <gen> owned by Player 3 (Teal)) and do (Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to MILITIATEAL)
  - Wait 2.00 seconds
  - AI - Ignore (Triggering unit)'s guard position
  - Unit Group - Order MILITIATEAL to Attack-Move To (Center of attackzone1 <gen>)

ITS working. When the group has 12 units it will move throught destination. But how do this with larger groups ex 2 groups of 12 ? IF put to pick every units in area and make 2 groups, wont have same units in both groups?

RemoveGroup
- Events
  - Unit - A unit owned by Player 3 (Teal) Dies
- Conditions
  - ((Dying unit) is in MILITIATEAL.) Equal to True
- Actions
  - Unit Group - Remove all units from MILITIATEAL.

And i´ve done this to "clear" the unit group, theres a way better. Cause if dont do this "the unit group will "full slot"

Explain this trigger... A barracks spawn militia every x time and the militia goes to 1 or 2 random places. There when the group has 12 it Will move like a squad throught specifc points in map

I think need use unit group trigger and variable cause when the group reaches the second point it Will move to the third etc until reach enemy base. But I want they goes in formation not in indian row

I even know how to start write this but will try
