Making Unit Patrol Continuously

[yuganeigii]

as the title said...
How can i make "Last Created Units" owned by computer enemies continuously patrol around a point...

Here's my trigger... i copied it directly from warchaser for an event in my map
it's from the monster initialization trigger...

• Spawn One Monster
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (EnableSpawners[(Integer A)] Equal to False) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Set Frequencies[(Integer A)] = (Frequencies[(Integer A)] - 1)
    • If (Frequencies[(Integer A)] Not equal to 0) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Set Frequencies[(Integer A)] = InitialFrequencies[(Integer A)]
    • Unit - Create 1 SpawnTypes[(Integer A)] for Player 12 (Brown) at (Position of MonsterSpawners[(Integer A)]) facing (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees
    • Unit Group - Add all units of (Last created unit group) to MonsterGroups[(Integer A)]
    • Set MonsterOrder = (Last created unit)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Last created unit) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\ToonBoom\ToonBoom.mdl
    • Trigger - Run Monsters Order <gen> (ignoring conditions)

And..

• Monsters Order
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order MonsterOrder to Patrol To ((Position of MonsterSpawners[(Integer A)]) offset by (700.00, 500.00))

it does work BTW but after they patrolled once they just stop moving and they go stand-by for some reason...

what do you guys think i should do...im a begginer BTW so dont flame me if my idea sucks or something.

Future Thanks..

You don't need 2 triggers,
simply order your unit to patrol to the desired point once (after its creation)
should look like something like this:

• Unit - Create 1 SpawnTypes[(Integer A)] for Player 12 (Brown) at (Position of MonsterSpawners[(Integer A)]) facing (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees
• Set Point = (Position of MonsterSpawners[(Integer A)]) offset by (700.00, 500.00)
• Unit - Order MonsterOrder to Patrol To (Point)
• Custom Script - call RemoveLocation (udg_Point)

You need to store the offset and the spawn point in a variable.

• Spawn..
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Point = (Center of (MonsterSpawners[(Integer A)]))
    • Unit - Create 1 SpawnTypes[(Integer A)] for Player 12 (brown) at Point facing (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees
    • Set PointOffset = (Point offset by (700.00, 500.00))
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Patrol a PointOffset
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PointOffset)

Thanks for replying..

heres what ive done

• Spawn One Monster
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (EnableSpawners[(Integer A)] Equal to False) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Set Frequencies[(Integer A)] = (Frequencies[(Integer A)] - 1)
    • If (Frequencies[(Integer A)] Not equal to 0) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Set Frequencies[(Integer A)] = InitialFrequencies[(Integer A)]
    • Set PatrolPoint = MonsterSpawners[(Integer A)]
    • Unit - Create 1 SpawnTypes[(Integer A)] for Player 12 (Brown) at (Position of MonsterSpawners[(Integer A)]) facing (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees
    • Set MonsterOrder = (Last created unit)
    • Set PatrolPoinOffset = ((Position of PatrolPoint) offset by (500.00, 700.00))
    • Unit - Order MonsterOrder to Patrol To PatrolPoinOffset
    • Unit Group - Add all units of (Last created unit group) to MonsterGroups[(Integer A)]
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Last created unit) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\ToonBoom\ToonBoom.mdl
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_PatrolPoinOffset)

Well some of them stop patrolling after some point while some of them continue to patrol.
and the "monsterspawner" is a unit

and for additional info (if it helps)
heres the event im going to need it...

the player(s) goes through a field filled with enemy units.
the player(s) needs to avoid being seen by any of the units.
enemies spawns from a unit/building and patrols around their spawning unit.

Do this:

• Spawn
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (EnableSpawners[(Integer A)] Equal to False) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Set Frequencies[(Integer A)] = (Frequencies[(Integer A)] - 1)
    • If (Frequencies[(Integer A)] Not equal to 0) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Set Frequencies[(Integer A)] = InitialFrequencies[(Integer A)]
    • Set PointSpawn = (Position of MonsterSpawners[(Integer A)] <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 1 SpawnTypes[(Integer A)] for Player 12 (brown) at PointSpawn facing (Random angle) degrees
    • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to MonsterGroups[(Integer A)]
    • Set PointOffset = (PointOffset offset by 750.00 towards (Random angle) degrees)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Patrol to PointOffset
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at PointSpawn using Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\ToonBoom\ToonBoom.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PointSpawn)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PointOffset)

Put the other trigger, the activator of this.
I don't understand the last two thing that you need.
