Staredit Network -> UMS Assistance -> 4x speed
Report, edit, etc...Posted by concienne on 2005-04-01 at 21:26:41
I made a defense map where human players attack computer players..
It works just fine..
Now, all I changed was replaced all my units, so that a player 14 scarab is on the map first..
I get into the game, and now, i dont attack the computer, as if I'm 'Allied'..
Nothing else has changed, and the triggers are still in tact..
Any thoughts, or help?
Thanks!

EDIT: I also tried making a trigger that made the human force set computer force to foe.. And even tried preserving trigger..

Can you post the map? This doesn't sound like a problem dealing with p14 units.

[attachmentid=7219]I loaded the triggers, and set the forces up the same, in this quicky map, so you can take a look at the triggers...
Check: "Ally status", for 'All Players'

Like I said previously, this worked just fine, before i changed to 4X..

Has anyone else had a problem like this? It seems to be a first.

Unless you are misinterpreting what's happnening. Are your units FROZEN or can they just not attack?

The units in the map probably CAN'T attack because of the P14 Scarab.
Tell me you put it in the top right or left corner and Dk will kick your ass, and I will kill you. smile.gif

Remove the scarab, now try again. If the unit attacks, then you've found your problem.

sorry, was f-in around with the map, i changed players 7,8, to comps, like i had in origingal... And no, they will attack if i attack, then select target...

EDIT: whaaat, yes, i put it in the top left corner, but not off the map..
but get this.. i tried using 2x speed, and it worked fine.. confused.gif

Then the problem is 4x.
You can't change that.
Sorry, it's impossible then mellow.gif.

So, i'm going to assume this should be a known problem... That when using 4x speed method, nothing will attack, unless specifically targeted.. Or, atleast human to computer targets, dunno about the rest...

What? Let me see the map dude, I've never had that problem.

OK, here you go, although i hesitated before, beacause its unprotected, but ill take it down after you get it... biggrin.gif

Umm, also, i noticed that i can right-click to attack.. they just wont attack on their own..

I see that you problably dl-ed it, so i took it down... and yes its missing some stuff, lol, but its a stripped version of the original for unit stuff...(in advance)

what i don't get is isn't there already a arbiter defence or u were the maker of the original 1

umm i think it depends on which one you are refering.. i made an original, like a month ago?? and then ran with it, stripping and changing stuff around since then.. so, problably was the one you are talking about.. cool1.gif

BTW, Snipe: Here is the latest version i have made.. Check it out, and tell me what you think, if you wish..
I posted it in the galary, but yet to get any comments from it..

When 4x speed is on, units will not attack on there own unless you tell them to Hold Position.
BTW: great map.

Wow, you are right, when i tell them 'hold position' they attack, no problem...
Is it just me, or IS THAT THE LAMEST THING EVER????? mad.gif

Isn't there ANY other way around this???

BTW: Navilin, Thank You..

At this time I know of no way around this, yes it is pretty lame. Buildings however are unaffected (They still shoot). 4x speed has a few draw backs, but you have to remeber it is a glitch.

I didnt DL it. You can PM me it if you're really that paranoid about people stealing it.

I already told him what the problem was smile.gif. "When 4x speed is on, units will not attack on there own unless you tell them to Hold Position"

Yeah but I've never had that problem.

EDIT: Oh well, doesnt matter anyway. I dont use x4 in any of my maps.
