Hi! I'm working on a defense map that requires computer controlled units to progress through an individual player by attacking and killing all his units. Part of the point of this defense is to use micro and terrain to outfight the computer, so things like high ground and chokes are very important. My problem is simple, but I cannot think of an appropriate solution: if the player gets medics, he or she can block a choke up with them and as we all know the computer will attempt to attack the units behind the medics and thus get stuck, making an effective wall. This provides a huge problem for my map and defeats the entire purpose of it - I do not want to either A) Remove the chokes, or B) Remove the ability to select medics. I don't mind if players med wall, I just want the computer to attack the damned medics so they can get through! Does anyone have any ideas? Please I apperciate all and any feedback - my map is essentially done it's only this that's holding it back. Thank you in advance.

You could set up your own sort of AI, that is, something like this:

-------------Players----------------
Human Players
------------Conditions-------------
Current Player brings at least 1 medic to Choke Location
--------------Actions-----------------
Center Location X on terran Medic owned by Current Player at Choke Location
Issue order to all men owned by Computer at Choke Location 'Attack to Location X"
Preserve trigger

That might work.

limit the number of medics, make them expensive. The AI is stupid like that. You might try using ranged units, which will nullify the medic wall.

The only way to make the comp player attack the medics would be making the rest of units invincible.

maybe have an intermittent invincibility thing going on whenever the player has a medic. That way the meds will get attacked intermittently, and when they are all dead, the invincibility thing turns off and the non-med units are fair game. Simple switches are needed so I won't post code here.

You could just send a Dark Archon with every wave. If he can use his abilities, it'll go for the medics.

Or, you could make it so that they can only control one medic, but maybe you need to use a lot of units, I don't know.

What was the main point of medics again? Oh yea.. healing..
