[Solved] Default hold position

[Tatuzudo]

Hello there,
Is there a simple way to make units hold position by default instead of just stop?
Or automatically hold position after a movement or attack/autoattack order?
I tried to trigger it but I didn't find any event that detects a unit finishing an order : /

Didn't test it but it should work.

• Example
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(stop))
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Hold Position.

Edit: It doesn't work. Maybe it needs a delay or something, hold on.

So this works, but only if the user manually orders the Stop.

• Example 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(stop))
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Hold Position.

I think you'll need to use a timer and periodically check if units are moving or not. This system works to keep track of whether or not a unit is moving (it might be a little out of date but it should work): Is Unit Moving 2.1.0.0

Once the unit stops moving you order it to Hold Position.

Yea I tried this. It should work but for some reason it doesn't

Ohh that wait there, thanks!
Just to check, is there a string order for the autostop?
I tried an empty string but it didn't work

Nope, unfortunately not. You'll probably have to do something like this:

• Detect Idle Units
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • (Current order of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Order(stand down))
                • (Current order of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Order(stop))
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Hold Position.
          • Else - Actions

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve though, so if you can go into greater detail maybe there is an alternative.

Humm almost works. The problem is that units won't autoattack with this.
I just want the heroes on my map to stop following enemies to attack them, but would like to keep the autoattack (it's a zombie defense).
No big deal though. It's just a little annoying to keep pressing H all the time.

Hey, I combined a version of your trigger:

• Auto Hold
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempUniG = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUniG and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Current order of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Order(stand down))
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Hold Position
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempUniG)

With another one:

• Auto Hold Attack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    • (Current order of (Attacking unit)) Equal to (Order(stand down))
  • Actions
    • Set Loc = (Position of (Attacking unit))
    • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Attack-Move To Loc
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc)

It's working now in case anyone needs it.
Thanks for all your help Uncle!
