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
