[Trigger] Creeps returning to their initial point

[IvoryHellflames]

Rightio, not been in this site for a good time but i decided to start using World editor again and it appears to confuse me slightly.

I've made a basic trigger so that a certain player's units attack move to a certain position on the map and they do move, however once they have killed the first units that they face they decide run back to where they first stood.

Do i need to make a complicated trigger to make this happen, or what am i missing?

Hope to hear from someone here soon, and thanks for reading my post

Did you change the Gameplay Constants -> Creeps - Guard Return Distance and Creeps - Guard Return Distance (sec) to a really high value?

They aren't creeps though, it is a computer(player 3) owned army that is meant to A-Move to a certain point.

Thanks though

Try "Patrol" instead of "Move".
And when they come back to thier initial point, make them stop.

I believe this has an effect on more than just neutral hostile... Such as all non human players.

"AI-remove guard position" can do the trick, you dont even need to adjust gameplay constants, check also my signature AI-GuardPosts, it has a looping trigger that enables the AI to move to the said location even if it is neutral hostile...

what if the melee AI isnt even ran/on in his game? that wont still work will it.. what if its just basic computer wc functions making the units return to their 'guard position'. I had this problem a while back in my game and they dont run away when fighting a unit but when they get low health and towers/any building are attacking them then they run away to there spawning place. Still havent found a way to fix that :/

why don't you make a variable that saves the starting position of the units that you want to return where they started,I have a system that does something similar with that you want.I can give it to you,if you want.

Add intermediaries points.

Example :

You isssue order to the unit to go to the center of the region1

When the unit enter in the region1, you issue order to it to go to the center of the region2.

When the unit enter in the region2, you issue order to it to go to the center of the region 3.

Etc...

Run Melee or not, "AI - Ignore (UNIT)'s guard position" will still work even if it's low on health...

In the sample map, there is test1 and test2...

I'll try your solution then Mckill, hopefully it works even for player ai
