Is this possible?

Okay, so i'm making a CTF map in which you have a defiler and you dark swarm to shoot the enemy. When you dark swarm, interceptors come out and go to the dark swarm. However, is this possible as dark swarm are neutral units and when you dark swarm the computer does not know if it is yours or another player? Or am i wrong?

If this isn't possible does anyone have any suggestions to how i can make this map? I can make it so the player is a dropship and they you unload a unit and it autotargets, but i want the unit to be land based and so you can target.

Thanks.

you can't tell who cast the dark swarm.

Divide the map in multiple sections for each player.

Like players infiltrating a base from different spots.

However, it could reduce the fun. Other than that, I don't know.

Well it's team vs team so that wouldn't really work.

Is it really important for you to detect who is fireing ?



None.

Yeah because when a dark swarm is created, interceptors would be moved to the defiler than ordered to the dark swarm. If the interceptors touch any enemy defilers, they lose health.

Then think about another system.

Or make the defiler one of the possible weapons player could chose from.

you can just make it so everyone loses health...it makes more sense and then you have to coordinate with your allies better

The dark swarm belongs always to P12, no matter who casted it.

NudeRaider 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

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
