proj into unit question

Post by Gleep »

Ok so I was playing around with the projectile into unit feature. Am I missing something obvious? Created units just stand there. I want them to attack the opposing team immediately. If this isn't doable right now could there maybe be a change in fear to create a feature such as "attacks upon creation"?

You expect newly created units to read your mind? Use scripting to make them attack.

Then give them higher distance values! (warning, activation, critical)

Myth isn't that advanced, the values work all around them, not just in front.

actually myth is that advanced. You can walk much closer to an idle enemy unit from behind before it will react.

Actually, no
I learned that from experience with the spider summoning unit in Heroes of haxors.
