Staredit Network > Forums > SC1 UMS Mapmaking Assistance > Topic: Air Unit attack instantly upon creation
Again, didn't know what to search. After an air unit, in my case a wraith, is created, I want it to attack instantly, like in Spellsword or WAF. I tried ordering it to patrol it to its same location, same with attack, but it doesn't attack as fast as I would want it. I thought of centering a location corresponding to the wraith's attack range, and center another location on an enemy unit on the range, and order it to attack.. but hopefully that's not the solution. Suggestions?
Don't create it. Move it from another location. What I did for my map is create it for computers. When the player casts it, move it to the location and give it to the player.

If you order it to patrol to its own location, for some reason it doesn't do anything. Try making it patrol to, well, anywhere.

You could either create the Wraith and center.
Or you could use Echo's Method.
The only reason why the wraith doesn't 'instantly' attack is probably because it has to spin.

I have it so that when you create a marine, a wraith is created for player 2 at location 1 (right next to an enemy building) and ordered to patrol to anywhere and a wraith is created for player 2 at location 2 (in a remote place in the map), moved to location 0 (close to location 1), and ordered to patrol to anywhere. They both have to spin and both begin attacking at the exact same time. I tried making the same test map where I ordered them to patrol to their own location, and they just stop, not doing anything at all forever.
What am I missing? How do you bypass the spin? Your explanation didn't work in the test map.
Oh and I can't think of a single air unit that has a similar creation animation as the siege tank.
None.
In spellsword the wraiths for fireburst are created and not moved.
I'm not sure where this "17" location they're being told to attack to is. I'll find out in a bit.

Thanks for your replies. I made a test map of my own, and found out that creating it than ordering it to attack to the middle of the map gives a fast attack speed, leaving it out for three death counters. With patrol, three death counters sometimes isn't enough time for it to attack. Also, in the rare chance that the hero is in the exact middle of the map, I made it so the middle of the map is unwalkable.

Ah! I'm surprised, I would have thought Attack wouldn't work at all, also, I tested the difference between Patrolling to the location that you want it to attack vs. patrolling to Anywhere and I didn't see any difference in speed.
Glad you found the solution
