Hello everyone! I need some help on my map using the Direct Damage System. Currently the problem which I am encountering is when I move the scarab from the reaver, the scarab goes out of control. I want to make it so that my scarabs will only do damage on the unit my defiler casts darkswarm on (like the Direct Damage example map). Any helps would be great =D, ty!!

Note: Currently i'm using Random sucide as my ai script for the scarab

They should target the closest unit. Maybe the targeted unit is invincible, and therefore the scarabs don't attack it?

If you followed the example map by the book, you shouldn't have a problem. If you can't find the error, I'd suggest posting the map here.

Sorry, lemme rephrase my problem. Currently I am trying to implement Direct Damage System in my map with the use of Dswarm. The issue I am currently facing is that my scarabs (do attack) with random suicide but after they kill one unit they move on and hit the next unit nearby. I simply want the scarab to appear under the unit and within that instant inflict the damage and be removed. However, when I tried removing them it didn't work. I also placed my reavers at bottom left.

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?
