DID anyone fix the "units always returning to their point of orgins"

[gritpatrick]

So my map is nearly done, only problem is that my units always return to there point of orgin after an issued order. The reason i put did anyone fix "units always returning to their point of orgins" is because i searched online for a solution before coming here for help and from 2008 till now no one has seem to solve this problem. it sucks that its occuring for me. i personally think that there is a solution because ive seen maps where units dont return back to the orgins of the issued order. Only problem is what is the solution?

so here are the other unsolved problems that are basicly having the same problem i am

Use tempPoints (points) and clear them after using them.

Something you should do anyhow.

Also, do your computer players have their player settings set and in the trigger map init, is the "use melee ai for computer players" removed?

Make the unit stop after reaching it's destination?

Ive tried that. once they stop they move back to their orgin postion of there issued order

The tempPoints i havent try that yet, but i did set the computer player settings and in trigger, melee ai is also removed.

Im gonna try the temp points one

Found a solution that works to some extent,though something is off: Use when unit gets to end location,"move instantly" to its own location. Example:

• Events:
• Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
• Conditions:
• Actions:
• Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Position of (Triggering unit))

Also temp positions don't work.

Temp points do not work, I have the same problem in my map, but luckily, my units get removed after they reach their destination, so I don't have problem with that..

Disable guarding for the unit. Some people say it works, others do not.

Or give them to an AI player with running AI.

 

[RobertMKD]

Maybe spawn the unit on the point you are going to move it to and then instantly move it to it's spawn? This way, the unit will stay at it's destination point..

With a lot of testing finally found where the problem is,and ofc a solution. Problem is that it seems editor seems to give order to attack to the unit,before it is finished creating,meaning it is created,but once created 2 commands are still left,to move to location you put,and to point it where you told it to in the trigger.So to fix the problem just put a wait command between "create unit and "issue order" triggers. Example:

• Events:
• Map initialization
• Conditions:
• Actions:
• Unit - Create 12 Footman for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Set temp_grp = (Last created unit group)
• Countdown Timer - Start timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.01 seconds

• Events:
• Time - timer expires
• Conditions:
• Actions:
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in temp_grp and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To (Center of Region 000 <gen>)

And this is an example,its memory leaks and such problems don't matter.
