Ordered attack-moved units go back

[Bond009]

So i think this may be a problem with just neutral hostile player maybe but i have a trigger that spawns units in a loop and as it spawns them they are ordered to attack move to a location.

Well when they get there they should fight but they attack for a sec or 2 then turn around and go back to their spawning location.. no idea why

(keep in mind there is no AI loaded of any kind)

This happens with players 1-12 also but they stay and attack until what they are fighting is killed and then return automatically, which isnt a problem.. But with neutral hostile they dont even stay and fight for long before just going back.

Any ideas?

The AI in warcraft 3 sucks ass. That's my professional advice: don't bother.

Well normally you shouldn't use NH for spawns anyway just use another Player

Advanced -> Gameplay constants:
Increase the following:
Creeps - Guard Distance
Creeps - Guard Return Distance

thanks Maker.

whats wrong with using NH for spawns anyway? its a 12 player map and cant use NP and the other 2 players i could use i guess.. (player 14 and 15) but might need them for something different later..

Because Neutral Hostile units and Passive are controlled by the game itself; they tend to have unpredictable attitude, due to the fact that they are internally guided.
I'm afraid you will have to decrease your players' count to 10.

i am unable to lower it to 10 users can i just use Neutral Extra? (player 15)

Everything 'Neutral' is internally coded. ;p

 

[Bond009]

damn that sucks.. what if i just use Maker's way? will it stop them from moving back all the time at least.. lol

Maker's way is a must, you just need to apply that on a player slot, not Neutral. Neutrals are not 100% affected by that change.

Well this unit spawn thing is being used as just a side mode of a 12 player game, the whole game is built around there being 12 players so i cant change that due to balance :/ guess i'll just have to suffer with NH and pray it goes ok.. lol
