UNits attack, but dont attack

Hai!

I'm working on a Halo map for a contest, but i've come across a problem.

The enemy [p7] goes to the allies [p6] and the unit has the formation of attacking, but no hits occur. It's like manually attacking something that's hypertrigger allied. Like you see the unit attack, but there is no sign of it hitting and no damage.

See for yourself!

Help! The deadline is very soon and I dont wana die! D:

Look at your triggers again. You set player 6 to ally for player 7. Also, your placement of the unit is really bad. It's making the ghost move back after it's hit and they gather up into 1 spot, making it take a much longer time for player 6 to get killed.

You also didn't uncheck "Randomize Start Location" in your forces, not that it was the problem.
I changed that only those two things to make it easier for you.

I haven't glanced at your map, but if you have hyper triggers and "preserve trigger" on attack orders, that could be it. One sec I'll check now.

*edit* I'm 99% sure this is your problem. If you hypertrigger ranged units and then preserve order to attack, they will never get a shot off because they will be commanded to attack faster than they can fire. Now, I would have thought this would go away if I took it onto b.net, but that didn't fix it. I will try deleting your hypertriggers and see what happens.

*edit2* Deleting hypertriggers seems to completely break the map... sorry I would have to spend a lot more time playing with this to help you any more. You could maybe try throwing in a wait timer, like 1 ms to the attack orders. Otherwise I don't know. I also think that usually when this problem occurs the animation for firing doesn't happen, so I could be completely off base.

Ahhh, thank you so much Echo.
And @ Loki, the preserved attack was only for the spawning point of the units, not the whole map ^^

Thanks guys for ur help

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?
