Alright so I'm making an installation map with triggers and stuff. I've got all but two of the available players on my force. I'm player 2, player 3 is neutral (and it has the unit I'm trying to order) Player 1 and 7 are on the enemy force and the rest are rescuable. Basically what I want to happen is my units come across a group of rescuable civilians who then get attacked by the enemy. I've gotten this down by switching who controls what so I end up with just the civilians while my squad is traded to a neutral player (temporarily). What I want to have happen is the neutral player 3 has a Zeratul that I'm trying to order to the location of the ambush to slaughter the enemy (Blizzard did something similar in some campaigns I think). The order gets the Zeratul there but he doesn't attack. If I switch that player to human or rescuable I can't give the order. If I put him to comp and in another force he attacks my guys. Any ideas how to fix this? A speedy reply would be much appreciated.



None.

Sleeping wolves wake hungry.

Neutral units won't attack anything.

You need to give Zeratul to a computer player and use the "Set Alliance Status" trigger action to set player 2 as it's ally, and players 1 and 7 as enemies.

Worked like a charm! Thanks a lot man! I'm making this for someone and I was starting to worry I wouldn't finish it in time.



None.

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?

Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it
