[Trigger] Treat Unit Type as enemy

[HumanSlayerV]

I need a trigger that makes a player treat all units of type X owned by player brown as an enemy. It can't treat brown as an enemy, because there are some other units of brown that I don't want able to be attacked with this trigger.

You'd have to do a lot of custom triggering; detecting entering acquisition range, ordering fire periodically, and so on.

 

[DeathWind]

yea... it's a hard one to do

 

[HumanSlayerV]

Okay.... This is the trigger help section, you should be telling me how to do what I asked or giving me advice, not telling me how hard the trigger will be.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

• Event: Unit is attacked.
• Conditions: Unit type of unit being attacked equal too (W/e type you want to be treated as allies)
• Action: Order attacking unit to stop

And make that player enemy, but the unit in this trigger would be treated as allie. SO its the other way around. Would that work?

 

[DeathWind]

"bob" that's a rly good idea, hope it will work too.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

The only thing is if he has alot of units it would be hard\boring to do this trigger of all of them, but im not sure how many he has...

 

[DeathWind]

yea i've made a map with abit on 130 different units for an example, that would be rly boring to do 129 triggers...

 

[valkemiere]

hahahaha, it easy bro. U give all the allies creep a buff( for ex: unholy aura)

so in condition
attacked unit have buff unholy aura
action
order attacking unit to stop

 

[DeathWind]

ye u can do it, but my comment was on "bob's" suggestion =) anyway ur right

 

[HumanSlayerV]

OKay, how about this...
Event: A unit other then player 12 brown enters accquisition range of unit
conditions: accq range unit (how would i say that) has buff: unholy aura
action: order entering unit to attack accq range unit

would that work?

No, they could tell there unit to stop attacking. My way, even if they tryed to attack again they would be stopped again..
EDIT: Mine has flaws too. They could attack faster that the trigger makes them stop....You can make it a unit is ORDER to attack it instead of IS attack though.

humanslayerv , i dont understand your word --'
i mean the buff unholy aura effect not allies, but you must set it to self with 10 area effects. So the buff effect for the unit, not for the allies stand near him.

 

[PurplePoot]

Bob's sucks if you have any Unit is Attacked events though (which you shouldn't)

Also, it's annoying because your units chase their guys anyways, and turn to face them. They also potentially attempt to attack them rather than actual threats.

 

[HumanSlayerV]

OKay look y'all, here is the scenario:
Player 12 (Brown) is a CPU player that I use for various NPCs and such, every player is allied with Brown. There is one unit type of theirs that I want to be attacked whenever another unit comes near it. I need help creating the trigger to do this, also, they don't have to be attacked, like if the entering unit's owner orders him to stop attacking, that would be fine, he doesn't have to attack it if he doesn't want to.

Btw, who is bob referring too?

Ontopic, why cant you just make the units owned by a differnt player?

 

[HumanSlayerV]

Because, obviously, I would like there to be as many Human Player characters as possible, thus: more NPCs=less human players. Also, the unit of topic is set to wander and interspersed randomly throughout the map, they are just supposed to wander around and be killed occasionally. I don't want them to be controllable.

 

[valkemiere]

yea give him another player which neutral with you.

 

[PurplePoot]

I was being absent-minded, HereTo. I read DeathWind's post where he referred to you as "bob", and the name stuck >_>

By the way, there are 12 humans and 4 neutrals. How many humans do you need?

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

yea give him another player which neutral with you.

Thats a good idea, kinda. If a unit goes near him change himm to a enemy player and when he leaves make him a allied one again....Allthough then again its not good of an idea.

@Purplepoot: Yeah, I though you were but I wasnt sure. But yes, how many players do you need?

 

[DeathWind]

make a spellbook for the unit u want to attack, and then make a skill inside tht (with base of Evasion or something, and turn it to give no evasion things and make it give ya a buff) then give the spellbook to ur unit and disable the spellbook. make it tht when it enters acquistons range (the unit i mean to kill) and if it has the buff ( it might be for example Threat) the unit will issue order to attack it.

 

[HumanSlayerV]

Okay, that was kind of what I was thinking of earlier.

 

[PurplePoot]

Doesn't work - if the initial target dies, a new target will not be acquired ><

 

[DeathWind]

argh, then im not sure of what to do but ill post if i come up with soemthing

hmm.... set the player as enemy, then set the unit aqcuistion range to 0, they will attack, if attacked.

 

[DeathWind]

but if the player (not the NPC) got other units near the hostiles, then they will attacked the other units too right?

 

[valkemiere]

oh, you can set houstile and npc are allied.
