Tank Siege Mode when unit comes close

[Klasus]

I want to make Siege tanks to siege when a unit comes within a certain range of it. I have tried to use this event:

• Unit - Any Unit Enters a distance of 1.0 from Unit

The problem is that I can't make the second unit in the event to be something like "unit group - any unit of type Siege Tank in region 001". Since the unit that comes close to the other unit is the Triggering unit. I don't know what the other unit is.

I am sure what you are after can be done in the data editor via a behaviour that fires the morph order when active and is only active when the units are nearby.

The problem is that I only want the tanks to siege when units approach them in a certain region.

If that is impossible, I might do what you said.

Make a periodic trigger every 0.04 seconds which picks all units matching your unit.
If an enemy unit is inside your defined range, have it morph - if not, check whether it's in siege form and have it morph back.

That is too inefficient to be viable if any number of tanks is used.

Like DSG suggested, Data editor. It's the most efficient way to do it.
