You issue an order, to ""Attack on Source Target"" ? So, which one is it targetting? The source unit, or the target unit(IE, the enemy unit)?
Basically, this by default works instantly if you leave pretty much everything as default on your issue order.\
Issue Order Effect
Ability: Ability - Attack
Target: Target+ - (None):Source Unit
Unit: Unit+ - (None):Target
got it working on the first try.
EDIT:: Impact Location Value and Launch Location Value as default. For your search effect, just modify the search area+ and the Search Filters, and maybe the Search Flags depending on the caster unit's size(If your source/caster unit is Size 4, and the search area is size 1, you will need to add the flag "Extend by Unit Radius".
EDIT:: Impact Location Value and Launch Location Value as default. For your search effect, just modify the search area+ and the Search Filters, and maybe the Search Flags depending on the caster unit's size.
Your Marauder has no behavior set in the Behaviors+ field in the Unit tab. Might that be why? I'll keep looking if it's not... :P
EDIT
Everything looks fine as far as I can tell.
I noticed one thing, which I don't think will matter much since you got it working for your marine, is that the Target:Target+ field on the search is set to Caster Unit and not Source Unit, but it works because the Marine is casting the ability, while if you are using a Passive Buff, you MIGHT need to set it to Source Unit. Other than that it looks fine.
for the Passive you want, Behavior on the Unit, Periodically casts Search Effect, Search Effect casts Issue Order. You do not need an Apply Behavior effect for the Passive, and not even for the Taunt Ability, you can just skip the Apply Behavior and just go straight from Search -> Order.
Wouldn't Unit Order Queue just make the enemy unit continue its current Move order(or whichever order) and place the Attack order second/wait for the Move order to be completed before executing it?
I was just trying to make a unit into a meat shield, to defense against another player.
That attack-move thing is just a example, I just want to make sure the another player can not attack-move pass the unit with taunt; because the unit with taunt would be weak offensively.
Thanks very much for the attention to detail. Much love & appreciation.

Hihi,
I need help with an Auto-Taunt Ability.
According to the following -
http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/development/map-development/4977-solved-need-help-creating-aoe-taunt-ability/'
I was able to get the Ability to work.
But I desired a Passive Taunt ability with AOE of 1, basically for any enemy unit attack-move pass said unit.
I tried to created a behavior to modify unit Attack Target Priority, but it is not under Behavior > Buff to modify.
So the idea behind the Auto-Taunt is that
It did not work, and I have no idea why.
I believe it is the same problem as the correct definition of Unit > Value, and Target > Value.
Or does it have to go through
Like what the Taunt ability did?
Any help is much appreciated.

Excuse my wording, what I meant to say is -
Effect (Search) > Flags
Should solve the problem.
Did not work.
I will upload the map.
The AoE Taunt ability on marine works, the AoE Taunt behavior on marauder does not.
Uh...

You will need a Unit Order Queue validator as well.

I have no problems not using the Validator.
@DrSuperEvil: Go
Why doesn't the AoE Taunt ability require the Unit Order Queue validator?
If it does, can you upload a working passive taunt map?
Ty ty.
LOL, I am such an idiot, I put the Behavior in Unit Tab, guess what, it works. Sorry for the clumsiness.
You said you only want it to taunt stuff using the attack move. Therefore you want stuff just moving to ignore it.
By inserting the validator into the Issue Order effect you could then perform this selective process.
