War3 auto-attack AI

[Kakerate]

A problem that war3 has been giving me is that Neutral Hostile will ABSOLUTELY focus player enemy units over Neutral enemy units. Is there any alliance flag you can change to allow Neutral Hostile to indiscriminately attack enemies?

I suppose you could see if swapping the neutrals changes it. creating/not creating the neutral hostile minimap blobs can probably be done by creating them for the other one and swapping owner.

Help needed, neutral creeps wont stop chasing heroes.

Maybe take a look at this thread.

You might alao want to spend sometime on google looking at places like playdota.com because this would also happen in DotA if there was an observer in the game. Or at least I recall similar behavior

Neutral Hostile is not a player. Its units behave very differently.

Differences include...

• Ignoring buildings, even if they can attack the unit.
• Different combat priorities.
• Stubbornly returning to creation point.
• Falling asleep when stationary.

• Falling asleep when stationary at night

Fixed that for ya.

So combat priorities can't be fixed? Or do you think some iteration of Neutral players would result in the enemy Neutrals not focusing players? I've noticed Neutral Extra behaves very normally. They attack players exactly how they should. I just need another Neutral player that behaves like this.


edit: After reading that thread, it looks like you can make Neutral Player Units ignore the script that makes them go back to where they were created, which is nice. I can change the Gameplay Constant so that units don't agro across the entire map. It doesn't fix my issue with target preference being strictly to player units though.
