Title: Force attack on specific unit
Post by: ZaRo on 29 October 2009, 12:56:58

Hello

Is is possible to force a specific unit to attack an other specific unit type and ignore all other unit types?

And any pointers in how to do it via lua would be appriciated :)

Best regards
ZaRo

at the start of the xml at startup or something create your units and make ONE of them a specific one you want:

createUnit('swordman', 0, 0)
swordmanUnit = lastCreatedUnit()

and somehow in the game you could:

createUnit('archer', 1, 1)
giveCommand(attack, swordmanUnit, 1)

something like that

though the player may be able to cancel the attack, in this case you would force attack using an ally unit not yours.

That won't work. That'll only attack the position, and will end up attacking anything they see on the way first.

As far as I know, there is no way yet...

actually you would use lastCreatedUnit but anyways omegas right, I have tried this and its really annoying you have to attack lone units or encampments that have no units walking on the path used to attack them
