AI attack waves mixing

[RvP21]

Hello everyone!

In my map, I'm using several JASS AI Scripts. Most of them work fine. One of them however, has been working fine for weeks, but now it starts making mistakes. It's sending attack waves but they suddenly retreat to the base. Later it sends two waves of attacks at the same time (indeed the old one and the scripted one). I can't figure out why it suddenly is acting strange.
Could someone take a look at the script and tell me what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

I didn't try reading through this, but if you can't find the problem you should try disabling the code you added in the last few weeks and re-adding it bit by bit to isolate the clashing part.

Thanks for your tip! I know the problem only happens with the uneven attack waves. Those do retreat and combine with the even attack waves later. The real problem is that I can´t find out why those attack waves don´t work as planned. It becomes even stranger when you realise that this script worked fine before and now starts bugging. Could you find a possible bug in the script?

Do you change value of objects? Notably train time.

Hi! I did change them before creating the AI. The strange part is that the AI functioned fine at first (I've tested my map multiple times). Later it started malfunctioning.

Attack waves that are suicided are never meant to retreat. Somehow it could be adding those units from suicided attack waves to the next attack wave causing them to go to the gather point.

This could be an explanation, although it is kind of strange. Half of the retreating units are units which are not meant to be part of the second wave. The next wave which resembles the first wave is suiciding 15 minutes later.
