how to make things more natural?

[Masta21]

like i want my wolves to walk around, however not using the wander(neutral) ability.

 

[-ALPHA-]

Trigger them to patrol or walk from point to point.

It would involve a great number of regions/triggers to make it natural.
Guess only good option is wander if you want dumb animals.

i would do wander, but then wolves don't attack...they just run away because the wander triggers when they are attacked for some reason.

edit: is there a way i could force the wolves to attack, and ignore wander?

Here is an exemple of what you can do i dint test or check for leaks sorry but i think it might help a bit:

• Wolf
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • And - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Timber Wolf
        • (Owner of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Attack-Move To (Position of (Attacking unit))

....or remove the Wander ability, if you can, when the wolf aquires a target. That means he will run to attack instead of the above trigger which would only attack when attacked.

OR

You do not need regions. You can easily have a trigger that plays every <<random>> seconds that orders units to move a <<random>> distance in a <<random>> direction (polar offset).

It might be more natural if you remove "Stats - can flee" from the units. Thats what i used and it works fine.

that second part seems like it would lag quite a bit...

Why? I have had very much more complex triggers running every 0.02 seconds with no visible lag.

You'll only want to run it every 30-60 secs anyway.

You could make it look even better by reducing their movement speed while they are wandering so it looks like they are walking, then when they go to atatck you remove the debuff so they appear to run to attack.
