"Submissive" Unit

03-24-2010, 04:55 PM

I need a unit (from now called A) that:

Auto-aquires target (from now called B) and charges thowards it to attack.
Does not change from target no matter what, unless;
- I order it to attack another unit (called C).
- Same applies here, do not change target unless I say so.
Can be both ranged and melee.

What I've tried

Peon/Worker Classification
- Added worker-classification at runtime.
- Result:
  - Didn't seem to make any difference.
Permanent Invisibility
- Result:
  - A did not auto-aquire targets.
Acquisition Range
- Added in OE
- Result:
  - The reordering works flawless, however, A doesn't auto-aquire targets, and is limited to melee range.
- Added on runtime.
- Result:
  - A is reordered to attack C, but as soon as B attacks, A is reordered to attack B.
Player Settings
- Setting A to Computer, Neutral or None in Player Properties
- Result:
  - Didn't seem to make any difference.
Alliance Settings
- Setting the owner of B to ally/neutral of A.
- Result:
  - As soon as the B attacks A, A's order is reset to attack B.

The usual problem:

Best results so far:

Setting Acquisition Range to 1 in OE gives the desired result, apart from auto-aquire and attackrange
Constantly (0.5s timer) setting A to attack C works, but he moves very choppy ,and he has serious problems with attacking.
