Moving a unit from A to B ?

[marvey323]

Very simple title thread but this is what I'm actually trying to do:

Unit spawns in A, I can get it to move to B with a trigger, though once it reaches B it moves to A again. I want it to stay at B until I direct it to go elsewhere.

Gameplay constants: Creep guard distance, range, and time all set to maximum.

No other triggers are affecting this units movement (since this is the only trigger in the map right now).

Any ideas ?

If you order the unit to just go to B it will wait there until another order has been given. You should check your triggers. Or post them here and i'll see if i can help

How about once your unit reaches B order it to stop. I haven't tried that, but it might work.

Yeah I've had this bug before.
Is the player properties set to computer? And has AI been disabled from the map init trigger?

- The unit being ordered is a Computer Player
- I disabled AI guard position with trigger as well as Gameplay constants -> guard distance/time set to maximum

I tried ordering the unit to STOP once reaching point B. The only thing that worked was 'HOLD' position but I dont want it to do that because its supposed to be guarding that area.. and if any hostile/enemy units approach they can beat it to death without it attacking back.

What you'll have to do is detect when the unit spawns, then run this line:

Ignore unit guard position

• AI - Ignore (Triggering unit)'s guard position

This should work. You shouldn't have to change any Gameplay Constants or anything like that.
