Try increasing the point distance?

Additionally, please specify what happen when it doesn't work

Actually I’ve noticed that the Elite Dreadguard is behaving accordingly. On the other hand units of type( forsaken death guard) sometimes stay put and don’t return to the original location even when attacking if the distance is past limit . I’m guessing maybe it has to do with intervals or overriding their location, sometimes it happens after they get knockback from spells.
* Maybe I can make this smoother by creating a delay before adding them to Guard_MoveGroup

 

[Daffa]

I think the move order is lost because of the new attack/knocked order the unit receives

I’ll see what i can do later today and report
