Hi! I'm working on a defense map that requires computer controlled units to progress through an individual player by attacking and killing all his units. Part of the point of this defense is to use micro and terrain to outfight the computer, so things like high ground and chokes are very important. My problem is simple, but I cannot think of an appropriate solution: if the player gets medics, he or she can block a choke up with them and as we all know the computer will attempt to attack the units behind the medics and thus get stuck, making an effective wall. This provides a huge problem for my map and defeats the entire purpose of it - I do not want to either A) Remove the chokes, or B) Remove the ability to select medics. I don't mind if players med wall, I just want the computer to attack the damned medics so they can get through! Does anyone have any ideas? Please I apperciate all and any feedback - my map is essentially done it's only this that's holding it back. Thank you in advance.
You could set up your own sort of AI, that is, something like this:
-------------Players----------------
Human Players
------------Conditions-------------
Current Player brings at least 1 medic to Choke Location
--------------Actions-----------------
Center Location X on terran Medic owned by Current Player at Choke Location
Issue order to all men owned by Computer at Choke Location 'Attack to Location X"
Preserve trigger
That might work.

The only way to make the comp player attack the medics would be making the rest of units invincible.

maybe have an intermittent invincibility thing going on whenever the player has a medic. That way the meds will get attacked intermittently, and when they are all dead, the invincibility thing turns off and the non-med units are fair game. Simple switches are needed so I won't post code here.
None.
You could just send a Dark Archon with every wave. If he can use his abilities, it'll go for the medics.
None.
Or, you could make it so that they can only control one medic, but maybe you need to use a lot of units, I don't know.

the mutas yes, the wraiths probably not. Have you even watched the video?

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.
yeh thts straight up cheating[2026-9-23. : 12:24 pm]
Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities[2026-9-23. : 10:09 am]
NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
