So at Step 2.5, you can manually change the target by clicking 'a' or does that target have to attack you? | ||

"That target" as you mention it have to attack a neutral building NEAR ur shunken. Although i'm not sure if it works if it's the sunken indeed that is attacked. (From what i've read on this op and replies, i'm sure it's not) Ps : and no, you have to not target it manually. Otherwise it doesn't work. | ||

True, I wanted to sound it so that people would read, but I think I ended up misleading people into thinking it could attack Nexuses and workers, lol. In the paragraph, I was actually describing that the allied unit must be near the Sunken. For example, if the Cannon out of range is attacking your Hatchery, your Hatchery must be adjacent to your Sunken Colony. It doesn't matter where the Cannon is. Yes, in practical terms, it is impossible for a Sunk to have infinite range, but the only reason is that there is no enemy attacker with infinite range. Unless you get an Arbiter to recall a Dragoon that is just about to attack, so that he starts his attack sequence before getting recalled but ends up shooting his plasma cannon after the recall so that it travels across the map to hit the Hatchery next to the Sunken which triggers the Sunk to change target to the Dragoon and thus Sunk hits the Dragoon on the other side of the map.  | ||

At step 2.5, the enemy target must attack either your sunk or a unit next to it. In the replay (youtubed above) the Cannon attacks the Hatchery, which is next to the Sunk. | ||

It could be. Or it could be because reaver AI is pretty retarded and will walk up to a sunk and not attack it. | ||

Someone should recreate this scenario, film it and post it. | ||
