[General] unit trying to reach something they can't and stuck

[Night_lon3r]

hi guys ,how to i prevent these zombies stop trying to attack uphill units that they have no way to reach and focusing attack the walls instead
So far i have tried

-set the priorities on walls to 1 ,other higher
-give them vision across the map
-give wall attack
-changed the wall armor to divine as they tend to ignore fortified
none of these worked
my last resort will be giving the walls taunt but i need help on how to make it auto castable.

Priority has to do with the icon order when multiple units are selected, hero > caster > dps.

Anyway, a few questions to answer before coming up with a solution:
How do you create the zombies?
How do you create the walls?

this is the trigger im using

As for the walls they are build by the workers , there are also ready built from the start

I'm surprised your solutions didn't work...

But how about something like this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Attack Me
• Actions
  • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
  • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
  • Set TempGroup = (Units within 300.00 range of TempPoint)
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set Target = (Picked unit)
      • If all conditions are true then do Actions
        • If - Conditions
          • (Target belongs to an enemy of (Owner of Caster)) Equal to True
          • (Current order of Target) Equal to (Order("attack"))
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Order Target to Attack Caster
        • Else - Actions
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint )
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup( udg_TempGroup )

Attack Me is an Autocast ability with say 500 cast range, 0 mana cost, and a 5 second cooldown. It can be based on Faerie Fire with a Duration of 0.001 seconds and no negative effects. If you set it's Art - Button positions to 0, -11 it should be hidden from the command card. I believe you can still toggle it's Autocast on by Default or use triggers to turn Autocasting on while it's hidden this way.

thank you for your help but i don't know how to make a custom script

Maybe give this a try: set their Acquisition range very low and change the "Fog reveal Radius - Attacking" Unit (in Advanced -> Gameplay constants) 0 so they don't know they get attacked. Remember also, that you don't give the Zombie Player any map vision via trigger. This may they are completely blind and obey attack orders.

i did this but its doesnt really work , they would respond but once they gets attack a second time they would immediate switch the target to the upper cliff unit that are attacking them
