[SOLVED] Controlling Scarab Movement/Direction
Cruisin' on that LSD
Is it possible to control which direction a scarab will go? Or to a location?
We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch
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:
(Player that owns the scarabs) (Your conditions) 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.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
