So, I wanted to try and give the Hellbat a bit more microability and to do this I decided that giving it a pseudo-moving shot like the Siege Tank in SC1 would do the trick. Since the Hellbat has no actual turret though, this is a bit hard. Because AoE splash pops out from the relative front of a unit and because the Hellbat has no actual turret built into the model, you can't do the usual work around to this. So I decided making a simple trigger that will constantly make the Hellbat face the closet enemy target would work, otherwise it just faces the direction it's moving. But I am having some issues getting it up and running. The Hellbat finds ONE unit on the entire map and makes that unit it's forever-facing unit. And if the Hellbat is closer to the top of the map then this picked unit it just faces itself.

Here is my trigger:

Also I think this site should get a code thing like Hive Workshop has with WC3 GUI triggers.

EDIT: Basically, Michael Jackson Hellbats.

EDIT2: Okay, here's the actual thing "Finished" but Hellbats will spazz out if more then 1 unit is nearby so I need to find a way to make them pick 1 unit and stick to that one unit unless told otherwise.

                        Variable - Set HBat_Index = (HBat_Index - 1)
                    Else

Hellbat Group and HBat_Index are GLOBAL variable. Ignore the Debug text.

EDIT3: Done for the night.
