Cruisin' on that LSD

Is it possible to control which direction a scarab will go? Or to a location?

Computer owned scarabs can be ordered by "make these units patrol" ai to to the location specified in "set generic command target" ai.

I dont quite follow. I see both of those scripts, could you please show what the triggers would look like for all scarabs at location a to go to location b? thanks

"Set Generic Command Target" is the destination, and "Make These Units Patrol" is the order. The trigger to order all scarabs from Location A to Location B would look like:

Trigger
Players
  • (Player that owns the scarabs)
  • Conditions
  • (Your conditions)
  • Actions
  • Run AI Script Set Generic Command Target at Location B.
  • Run AI Script Make These Units Patrol at Location A.


  • Make sure the trigger is owned by the player that owns the scarabs. Keep in mind this will order all units owned by that player at Location A to move towards Location B, not just a particular type.

    You can simply just create alot of scarabs which was a round about method i've used and it makes the spell look epic (make sure to have it for said hero unit using it to prevent splash damage.



    None.
