Sorry to ask this, it could easily be tested, but I just don't have time to right now...

I need to know if it is possible, via a computer-controlled medic placed near a player controlled dropship, to blind the said dropships.

(I know I have to make blind energy-free or use a trigger to make the medic's energy to 100%, but i was not sufe is she would blind a unit taht is not attacking her...)

I need this because i used up all the room I had in my map and having a dropship with sight would ruin a part of the map...

Good thing you took the time to check the tutorials http://www.staredit.net/?p=tutorials&tut=29

He had a legitimate reason to post, as the dropship does not attack.

So if i refer to the tutorial, it will work if there is another unit attacking the medic?
And i guess i'l have to make this unit invinsible so the medic blinds the dropship...

To blind non-attacking units, simply place a invincible unit next to the medic that will atack it.

Yeah, invisible or invincible, both will work, as long as the medic gets panic stricken and feels forced to do something. :D

Hum... if i need to blind one dropship for all 6 players, do I have to make one attacking unit for each ones or will the medic blind everything she see as soon as one unit attacks her?



None.

I think actually testing it/trying it out is the best answer, as no situation/solution is definite.

Yea Kaias, as you were posting this, I got into a bit of testing, and i found out taht even with no AI and nothing attacking them, the medics blinds the dropships, but only once... so I came with the solution to make one medic for each dropship and they blind their respective dropship. It appears the medics only blinds the nearest one...
