Lane Spawning Problem

[thegreatninjaman]

I made spawners at each base and have units that spawn move to the next point in the path, but the problem is, whenever one becomes stuck or stunned it will forget the "Movement" Order, does anyone know how to fix this?

Pick every unit and order them to attack-move to a region every x secs?

Even DotA (custom-map game) has this "problem" but I would not consider this as a "problem", it is more like a "mechanics".

Worse comes to worst, you will have to order those units per X second.

ok, i didnt not even know DotA had this problem. SO what do i do about units randomly stopping after they attack once?

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Move Events Time - Every X seconds of game time Conditions Actions Set Temp_Point = (Somewhere) Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true Unit Group - Pick every unit in (YourGroup) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To Temp_Point Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Temp_Point )

It will be like that...

You can try adding this condition

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Current order of (Picked unit)) Not equal to (Order(attack)) Then - Actions Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) for 5.00 seconds the text: Order to attack Else - Actions

Because
a) Units that are attacking don't need to be ordered again
b) Ordering too many units at a time can cause issues fir the game engine

It can introduce some issues, for example if the units have some active abilities.

Alternatively you can try

(Current order of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Order(<Empty String>))

OR you can simply save each units' order in a hashtable or something.
IF the order is holdposition (which is likely to happen if you are stunned), just load the initial order given to the unit and re-order the unit with the loaded order.

It's quite tedious but it works.

But compared to this, I would rather follow Maker's suggestion.
