Hydra targeting

Kalabalana

Hydras stick to one target which is silly imo.

I think hydras should attack the closest target, and prioritize marines over structures.

Also, I'd like sentries to do this too.

I always tought hydras were supposed to launch all their spikes, in waves, in a sphere around them.
So if they spot a marine, all marines in range get damaged.
Can be logical, the hydras can detect enemies but can't aim like a turret.


Another good mechanism would be if the 3 marines the closest to the hydra get hit each wave. Since it has 3 heads wich can all aim at a marine.

yeah it's kinda silly Hydras can only shot one spike at a time when it got three arms full of spikes :/
