Make units with paralyzer weapons target units that aren't->

paralyzed? As in, dynamic target switching when current target is paralyzed. Does this widget exist?

[Silentwings]

Paralyser units that have another target waiting in their command queue (or which have a fight command) will move on to attack the next target automatically once the current target is paralysed.

So I'm not sure what you're looking for.

[Forboding Angel]

But in order to do that they must have another target in their queue, so if they are auto targeting, then they won't have another target in their queue.

That's the problem. When auto attacking, I would like for paralyzer units to paralyze then move on to the next available non-paralyzed target.

Have you tried a fight command? As far as I can see that will make them do what you are wanting.

Ever since some targeting change, I find it hard to control paralyzers. I used to select a bunch, then rightclickdrag on enemy units and off they went. This doesn't work anylonger.

And using patroll isn't efficient at all.

Whats the proper way nowadays?

I can't answer because this gives me no information on what you expect to happen or what you think changed. I have always used area attack (left click drag), or fight.

left-click drag? I used to use right-click drag... k

Ugh, that's trappy behavior.

I think you can always AllowWeaponTarget for this purpose.

Embracing its use also enables behaviours such as switch to shoot on radar, prioritization on any custom properties (capture progress, emp rate), only shooting certain units when ordered, etc.

Wiki has no info?

That is incorrect, but is excusable since callins are sometimes hard to find.

Scroll down from here, or just ctrl+f.

I think you can pretty easily implement "target only on order" by checking if the unit has an actual attack order on the given target. This won't really discriminate against automatic attack orders though.

Just FYI, that page is horrible and outdated:
