[SOLVED] Controlling Scarab Movement/Direction
Cruisin' on that LSD
Is it possible to control which direction a scarab will go? Or to a location?
We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch
Computer owned scarabs can be ordered by "make these units patrol" ai to to the location specified in "set generic command target" ai.

I dont quite follow. I see both of those scripts, could you please show what the triggers would look like for all scarabs at location a to go to location b? thanks

"Set Generic Command Target" is the destination, and "Make These Units Patrol" is the order. The trigger to order all scarabs from Location A to Location B would look like:
(Player that owns the scarabs) (Your conditions) Run AI Script Set Generic Command Target at Location B. Run AI Script Make These Units Patrol at Location A.
Make sure the trigger is owned by the player that owns the scarabs. Keep in mind this will order all units owned by that player at Location A to move towards Location B, not just a particular type.

You can simply just create alot of scarabs which was a round about method i've used and it makes the spell look epic (make sure to have it for said hero unit using it to prevent splash damage.

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?[2026-5-31. : 6:47 pm]
