Make unit that patrol can attack enemy

[Lannik]

Hello everyone, i have created a trigger that order a unit owned by neutral Hostile to patrol to a point. The problem is the unit did not attack the enemy around.

My Trigger:

• Events
• Unit - Unit come within range of 100 of dummy 096 gen
• Conditions
• ........
• Action
• Unit - Order triggering unit patrol to position of dummy 087 gen

When the unit is attacked , the unit is like going around =.= and did not attack.

I'd go for making 2 triggers with the -attack- command targeting the ground.
This way you have to make him move back too, but I'm pretty sure it works the way you want.
I never used patrol command... its a bit funky.

I think it's can't if just 2 triggers, perhaps it needs 4 triggers if it will creates region. The second trigger is to check if the unit is entering the target ground, the third trigger is to check if the unit is entering the first unit position and the fourth trigger is to check if the unit is ordered to stop, so the created region can be destroyed, also the first unit position.

And honestly i can't help....

I recall encountering this before. I think it was to stop Neutral Hostile units killing player's bases in melee. If you use a real player instead of neutral hostile the problem should stop. I also think there is a gameplay constant you can change to fix it.

I still don't understand your problem...patrol makes units to move forward and backward between 2 locations, if a unit comes near to them, they will attack. It works perfectly. Elaborate more your problem :/

Neutral Hostile have special behaviour towards buildings. This is to stop a player using them in melee as reinforcements by luring nearby camps to a base and having them kill it for them. With nightelf buildings (ones which attack back) it would cause them to never return to their camp and thus give the luring player a huge advantage in attacking a base (the defender has to deal with the other player on one side and the creeps on the other).
