Do you guys know of a way to get a floor gun trap to not attack unallied unit that is walking passed? I tried constantly enabling the doodad state and after that did not work I tried disabling the doodad state but it did not have any effect. Help?



None.

It was my impression that disabling doodad state (once) turned off floor gun traps until they were re-enabled. Are we talking about the unit or the doodad for this map?

I'd give it to another player to "deactivate" it.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

you can only disable one doodad at a time per location. Make sure you are disabling all the floor traps. if you have two floor traps in the same location, the leftmost one will be disabled.

Also ensure the trigger is being run by creating a unit somewhere, or giving you money or something.

This is how I do it when possible, it's easier and uses less triggers and locations than actually disabling them. Keep in mind that doing so does have a noticeable difference if the turrets are player owned at any point, as whoever owns them also has vision to them.

First off Azrael: You never said what to do ha ha. Second: Nuderaider I need the players to keep it because it needs to give them vision in an area. Tikels: I'm talking about a unit owned by a human player.



None.

1. Give them to a player but share vision, alternately create map revealer units if you only need sight and not detection.
2. Spamming "Move Unit" actions that try to move turrets over unpassable terrain might stop the turrets from attacking, not sure.

Use map revealers.

First off: I cannot use map revealers because then they let you see outside of the box that is walled off. Second: I can't give to another player: they are all used up except P9-P_____



None.

Unless traps are special in that regard (I don't think so) you can safely give them to P9 and then back later. Burrowed units can provide you with vision. Maybe creating units and then removing them right away might work too. To improve the latter technique ask rockz about when vision updates.

I'd imagine using p12 would be preferable to using p9.

I said to do it the way Nude described, as long as giving vision wasn't an issue.

Since vision is an issue, you'll want to disable each gun trap individually using Set Doodad State.

I just made a sample map to show a fairly easy system which can be used to do this.

Download and host the map to see how it works, then look at the triggers afterwards.
