A question regarding Taunt Ability

TheNEIL · 09-09-2003, 12:14 PM

I'm not sure if im missing something here or not, but I am tryin to give the mountain king on my map the taunt ability under normal skills, but in the game, the ability will activate and use the mana as it should, but for some reason the units do not attack this unit. Am i missing something here? why are they not attacking the taunting hero? The units are currently moving to a point, would that be a factor?

I suspect it tells the units to attack a mountain giant at a point, or maybe it doesn't like the unit being non elven. It's an interesting problem and to solve just keep making the guy like a mountain giant until it works, then figure out what did it, and just keep that.

well, if your triggers are making them "move-to" then the units are probably just ignoring the Hero and proceeding to their destination.

Try dropping a clump of units for the player of the hero and a clump of units for the enemy and let them fight(with no triggers..just drop em on the map for testing), then run your hero over next to them and see if he can taunt them.
