Neutral units move with hero... Problem.

I am sure that this has been answered (there are 488 pages in the trigger forum, I don't have time to check them all!) and is pretty basic, but for some reason I am stumped.

I have a map where you control 1 hero. There is a computer player that is allied with you that controls 3 normal units (2 melee, 1 ranged). I have tried to set a trigger up so that when you order your hero to 'move' 'attack' 'stop' 'hold' etc... Then the computer's units will do the same. For the move command I set it to make them move to the position of the order with polar offset of 150 towards (facing of 'hero') + 135/180/225. This SHOULD make the different units (135= melee 1 back and to the left of the hero, 180= ranged directly behind the hero, 225= melee 2 back and to the right of the hero), should make them move to the desired locations, and it DOES... IF I actually hit 'M' or click the 'move' command on the command bar. If I simply right-click on the terrain to make my hero move then the computer units DO NOT follow. Same goes with the attack command. If I right-click on an enemy, the allied computer units sit there, if I use the attack command from the command bar, they do as they're told.

What I would LIKE (really really, rep point for the next week kinda like) is someone to lay out from start to finish (trigger wise) what I have to do to make this work correctly. I don't care if it's a long drawn out version that runs you in 3 circles and throws you in a bush before it's done, just as long as it WORKS.

I have seen this done FLAWLESSLY in a map called 'Legionaires' or something along those lines, made by th15. I didn't want to PM th15 because I figured that would be annoying. The map is protected so I couldn't find out for myself.

I will shut up now and hope for the answers to pour down upon me. Thank you for you time.

How do you process the order given to the hero. becasue when you give a command to a unit by right clicking i think the order given is 'smart' not 'move'

When you right-click, the name of the command given is smart. You will need to put in a trigger to detect if this command, as well.

PERFECT! I wil give you each a rep a few times if I can, at least 2 each. That was my problem and fixed me RIGHT up!

Thank you much.

actually wouldnt it be easier to Issue Order - Patrol targeting your hero... you can set your hero as a unti variable with an array for how many heros there are.

but if you read the description of patrol, when it is targeting a unit, the patrolling unit will copy its actions, like stop and attack units and stuff...



hope that helps but i am [retty sure that is the simplest way to go about it

I'll play some, if the patrol thing does work like you say... Then that WOULD help tons.

Thanks.

Sorry Shimrra and MMayfield45. I just found out that you can only rep one post once. If I find some other posts of yours then I will rep them for this... Just to show my thanx!
