Example: Cannon rush. A pylon in range of the sunken powers a cannon that is outside of the range of the sunken. The sunken starts an attack animation targetting the pylon, but during it the cannon shoots the hatchery nearby - causing the sunken to aquire it as its new target, without checking if it's close enough to hit. | ||

Constantly in my tvp's i build depots and turrets to take fire from the protoss army, but i never see a goon that is only in range of a nearby depot shoot a tank. Usually the goon just sits there ready to fire without atking anyone. Freezing is much more common for a unit to do and is one of the reasons muta micro is so hard. Bear in mind that the pre-attack animation for sunks is obscenely long compared to pretty much anything else in BW. | ||

i imagine this being useful when there is a drop behind the mineral line and you tell your sunken (which is not in range of the back of the mineral line) to auto attack your hatchery, it should switch targets and kill the marines if they attack your drones/hatchery right? i'm noob so i don't know how to test this would be glad if someone could though | ||

If you force the sunken to attack the hatchery I think the attack command would override any automatic target switching. You'd probably have to hope that your opponent sends a medic within sunken range, then the sunken will start attacking marines. | ||

Oh well, i have so little knowledge about this, please someone who knows how to test this do the tests  | ||

It seems Mini knew this and he intentionally killed his pylon to avoid this thing to happen. | ||
