Stop auto attack

[Iaa_1]

hi all...
i want make a arena but i have 2 questions:
how to make that walls destroy the attack?
(cant shoot with bow through walls or something like that)
and
how to stop the auto attack?
want that the players must press "A" and then click somewhere to shoot the arrow there

Base the attack on the ballista

 

[Anachron]

Set the aquirationrange to 0 or something really small and then enjoy disabled auto attack.

whats that in german?
(aquilationsrange)
google etc dont know the word...

Its "Kampf - Zielerfassungs-Reichweite"

But i think the normal range will be decreased, too. So I'm not sure if this will work.
How about completly removing the attack and using spells for it? add a spell, that does the attack part, as you said you want to press just "A" or any other key to attack.. works perfectly for this.. as for the rocks part.. just add some sight blockers or add some kinda region that detects a unit or else (make the shots a unit, that moves with an arrow model or something like that)...
i think you need some of the phyical spells like grenades or so.. they can't be thrown through walls, copy the idea of them..

Decreasing the acquisition range won't affect normal range. Acquisition range = when an enemy unit enters it, you automatically start attacking them. So, exactly setting this to 0 will eliminate auto attack.

hmm yeah yeah, but I think I remember, that I deaktivated it sometime.. and the Range of the Unit were reduced to this acquisation range.. or it was something other.. I'm not that sure.. but I think that, as I set the Acq.Range to 400 the Attackrange were set t a maximum of 400 too, but could be wrong, or it was another rangepart.. I'm still not sure.. but, well, just try it =)

The only thing that limits the attack range is whether you see the target or not =P

If you set the range to 800 and the aquisition range is only 500, then the units range will be 500. I would base this off a spell. Use a projectile system with dummies. For the wall thing, just make it so when the dummy comes in 100 range of the wall kill it.

stopping auto attack can be done (obviously) by making players allied.

it might also work if u set acquision range to 0 with triggers.

 

[Anachron]

it might also work if u set acquision range to 0 with triggers.

Nice idea, didn't tried it through.

 

[SamNainocard]

Acquision range cannot be set to 0 via trigger, it will set to current value
it must be ~50.xx-60, well, I used 60 and it won't attack at all. (except someone just move over you)

 

[wolfman]

Just stop trying to make the attack thing, just do it with triggers and make an ability that fires a dummy unit for the arrow. Besides i think that the only way to destroy the arrow when it hits a wall is if you use a dummy unit for it, unless there is a way in jass. If you want help with this i can help you out.

Haven't tried it, but what about the:

Set the unit into a variable (i named it 'X' unit) and do:

Events
Unit - X acquires a target (Specific Unit event)
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Order (X) to (Stop)

 

[Anachron]

That eats alot of cache because after stopping command the wc3 engine checks for attacking again, that means he will try to attack again and run the trigger in endless loop. That will ofcourse not kill wc3 since attacks have delay of 0,25 because of animation, but surely will eat some space while effecting more then 1 unit.

Try doing this. It is a very simple projectile system that should work.
