It's hard to tell for sure what the problem may be, but I'll give you something to check in case you're hesitant to post the map (it may be required though).

From first glance, it seems like maybe you aren't Player 1 (Red) (because this is a trigger setup for that player specifically). It may also be the case that the units on your map are not of type Footman. In the case where you're using custom units (if you are) you'll have to be sure that you're getting the right unit IDs.

Basically what is happening is you're checking whether or not the unit's ID matches 'hfoo' (the unit ID for the footman) and that the unit is alive. So, make sure this field reflects the unit which you're trying to order to move.

Also, you can encapsulate what you've posted in

Berb's right.
Also, here's a disclaimer: When you're ordering the units to attack-move,
if there were, let's assume, 300 units on the map, the orders would be
delayed and you'd see units move and stop at random times.

instead of like this;
set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
Unit - PIck every unit blahhhh

try using this;
set TempGroup = Units in blahhh
call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

why?, coz I encountered something like this before, the first method doesnt work, idk why...

300 units owned by one player^

Pathfinding is what causes units to "slow down" because it has a limited number of checks per player, IIRC. If you have 50 units owned by 6 players it may be fine; 300 owned by 1 player, probably not.

If you've got a predefined path you can eliminate that (I believe) by removing the unit's collision. I'll actually test that out, hopefully I am able to with my beast of a computer.

Sorry, scratch that. It's not simply the pathing, but by setting the movement type of the unit to Fly it seems to ignore this calculation.
