im using the exact same system of triggers for two different situations in this map and it works one time, and not the other. in both of them, player 4 is a computer, player 5 and 6 are rescuable. i want the computer and rescuable units to become enemies so right as you approach the base to rescue it, you will see them fighting. this is the one that works

player 1: brings any unit to area attack oj
set switch "oj attack"

player 4: "oj attack" is set
set player 5 (oj) to enemy

player 5: "oj attack" is set
set player 4 (cpu) to enemy

this one doesnt work.....

player 1: brings any unit to area attack brown
set switch "brown attack"

player 4: "brown attack" is set
set player 6 (brown) to enemy

player 6: "brown" is set
set player 4 (cpu) to enemy

they're exactly the same, but for some reason player 5's trigger is working and player 6's isnt. you can look at my map and triggers and try to figure it out

Attachments:

Could you also tell us what happens incorrectly with the one that doesn't work? That would help solve the problem.

oh sorry if i forgot to say that... player 6 just doesnt change to become player 4's enemy. once the trigger fires, player 4 will attack player 6 whos units will just stand there and get mowed down without responding at all

Rescueable players themselves are like neutral players and won't attack. Same for defeated players.
So make sure he isn't defeated and that you give/rescue his units to another player if he's rescueable.

but player 5 (who is also rescuable) IS attacking player 4 when i set him to enemy

ok i just did some testing and it turns out that if i added goliaths and tanks to player 5 they were just as unresponsive as player 6... but player 5's bunkers were still defending... maybe a rescuable player will only attack with bunkers? (or turrets too?)

Are you sure that the rescuable units in question have in fact, already been rescued? Or have they been moved to a separate location?

they havent been rescued yet. neither have player 5's bunkers but they are still defending their base

interesting ...
