I need an AI that orders units to disperse to random areas on the map when starting in a location. The units also need to attack any enemies that are along the way. Anyone know of an AI capable of this? I have already tried junkyard dog, it only works if they are in a certain location.

You say "units starting in a location" [...] "only works if they are in a certain location" So where's the problem?

But you could try to send them on random suicide missions (ai script).

The random suicide missions would work unless you have other units owned by the player that you dont want suiciding.

i want units to start in a small location, and end up outside of the location. junkyard dog only works if the unit is inside a location.


I want only a select few to disperse, in a 3x3 location.

Painstakingly trigger the attack commands for the individual units?

There's a trick that definetely works when you would use order:
Give the units in the 3x3 loc to a free comp player, start the ai in the big location and quickly give the units back to the original player.
Maybe it works even if the units were ordered by junkyard dog. Dunno, just an idea.

The next best thing I can think of is you set up your own random targets and manually order the units.
For example have some obs junkyard dog in the large area.
Then, when the dispersing should take place
1. center a location on 1 obs at that loc (leftmost will be taken)
2. order ONE unit in the 3x3 loc to patrol there.
3. give the obs to another player (for later use) or remove it
4. REPEAT: center on next obs, order next single unit and give obs another player...

If you have really lots of units you can repeat that by giving the obs back to the original player and wait a certain time until the obs have moved enough to appear random.

And no, there's no ai script that can do exactly what you want. But feel free to write one.
When you get deeper into mapping you will notice sc is rly restricted with its possibilities.
Often you will need to find a way complex way that doesn't work perfect to implement a simple idea.

olright thx ill try it out
