SC2Mapster

Question 1: Is it still needed to localize maps when publishing to battle.net? Some players says that they see param/values and they have clients like french etc.

Question 2: Is there a way to order computer units to attack player without caring about the pathing (if target player is bunkered)? So attackers doesn't just go to nearest position of targeting unit like other side at the cliff etc...

Thanks for ur time! ;D

oh found button next to map name ''Copy to all locales'' =D (BUMP)

AFAIK game and editor will use default map locale if there is no data for the once it's looking for. I think param/value may come if you do create an locale, but don't keep it up to date, for example string will be only in eng but not copied over for french.

yeah... but what about question 2? I have been playing with AI commands but units just don't move and read some threads about it.... So how to set units to attack "smart"?

Bump...

I really wanna know how to make enemy attack "smart" =( It's needed in like all survival games where u can bunker ur self =)

@deathtorn: Go

I know how to put units to attack... The problem is when units are attacking but doesn't find a path they will just go to the nearest location of attacking target... I want them to destroy buildings that are blocking first. :)

Its because if theyre ordered to attack target unit they only attack target unit. go to like a test map where you control 2 players and build a wall and say attack a target unit behind the wall it will ignore everything else

I use the command to issue order targeting point and they attack units they see...

Problem is that they go to example another side of a cliff. I want them to attack without caring about pathing/shortest path :( Could someone show me a way to do it AI attack waves or sumthing :D (Bump)

@BloodClud: Go

just do a loop through the players units, check the pathing cost, and issue the order if the pathing cost is allowed.

@Helral:

Can u tell me step to step instructions =D

@BloodClud: Go

Don't have the SC2Editor at hand atm. I'll see if I can post something usefull here that would help ya when I do have access to it. it's prolly nicer to have the AI handle it with suicide missions orso.

@Helral:

Great man! The AI triggers are so weird.... Like add ? to attack wave??? Who's attack wave etc =D

@BloodClud: The simplest way to do an AI would be to order a unit to attack a point. (Thats like when you A-click ingame)

Problems occur when a unit is behind some buildings but this unit has a higher attack priority that the buildings. Look for the field attack priority in the unit editor, higher values will mean that it will be more important to attack and kill.
So you could make all units (and builidings ) the same priority, then everything which is close willl be attacked.

Alternativly you could trigger the AI. This really depends on how many units you want to search for enemies in what kind of way. Check the AI categories, I am not really familiar with these functions though

And can I ask you a question too? How did you manage to use the "copy to all locales"? button? It is grayed in my editor and I can't press it and I don't know what to do to enable this button.

@Rushhour:

But I think that doesn't work... They will not get close units because they try to go shortest path and usually got stuck at cliff or sumthing not attackable =(
And I have been wondering that button. I can click it from ''Map info'' and next to map name but i think nothing happens when u click it and when publishing the buttons are grayed out =(

@BloodClud: Go

something like this:

        Unit Group - For each unit Unit_Variable in (Units in (Entire map) having alliance Enemy with player Any Player matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount) do (Actions)
            Actions
                General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
                    If
                        (Pathing cost between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Position of Unit_Variable)) > 0
                    Then
                        Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to ( Attack targeting (Position of Unit_Variable)) (Replace Existing Orders)

assuming that -1 = no pathing available

What is that unit_variable? And no Else actions when there are no pathing? I think this is more easier to do with AI but I can't seem to get it to work =(

@BloodClud: Go

1. its a local unit variable that I named unit variable.
2. maybe a loopbreak once you find a valid target., but no need to sert the Else value..
