Getting the Comp to Feedback on a Queen

I can get the computer to feedback a Queen...but only when it thinks it can kill the unit. As in, the unit has energy >= its hitpoints. However, I want to get the feedback without that death.

I tried changing the hp from 1% to 100% with hypers, but the Feedback still kills the Queen pretty often.

I also tried making the Queen HP 201/200, but the DA still only Feedbacks when it's 200 or below.

Are there any AI scripts that cause feedback to happen more often? What about p9-11?

None.

P9-11 cannot run AI scripts, however, using the Insane AIs generally causes computers to use spells more liberally.



None.

I just tried running the script. The DA still won't feedback if the hp > energy.



None.

Uh, I've never attempted to force a dark archon to feedback something, but couldn't you set the queen hp to 0/1? That would prevent the death, although probably ruin any further plans you have with a queen. Maybe lowering the cost for feedback would cause the dark archon to cast it earlier, although that's doubtful...

Just an idea: Matrix the queen

Also: Some impossible scenario maps have Dark Archon enemies which run half across the level to get your spellcaster when you threaten his allies with a spellcaster. Maybe trigger this remote attack run and then set the queens energy to 0? I believe that's done using a melee AI.

Which one did it, the 0/1 or the lowering of health, or both(somehow?).



None.

0/1 did it. The DA thinks that the Queen is killable, but it really isn't.



None.

Awesome, well, glad that doesn't interfere with anything else in your game :P

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
