[SOLVED] Forcing Computer To Scan Sweep A Location
Hi, is it possible to force a Computer player to Scan Sweep a particular area using triggers? Like, you know, casting spells type thing.
Thanks in advance guys!

The computer will only use this spell for its detection properties. If the computers units are attacked by cloaked units and no detectors are around, he will cast scanner sweep immediately to reveal them.

Hi, thanks again. So this can't be done via a Trigger (ex: like Arbiter Recall, etc)??
None.

You can try spawning a unit there for the first player (one with no attack if that works, perhaps) and a cloaked unit for a player that is unallied with that player, the cloaked unit should attack the first unit and the first player should scan, then you delete the two units after a delay.
Only problem is the obvious two units running around for a split second, it's probably not noticeable in a bigger battle.

I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope.
