I have a variable called SpawnPointEmpire. At the start of the map I set it equal to the center of a region called Star Destroyer Spawn. I then have a periodic trigger that spawns enemies and tells them to attack-move to that point. I become concerned because the enemies, after a while, would start going to the center of the map instead. I put a test trigger that pinged the location of the point variable, and sure enough after a while it moves from the center of that region to the center of the map.
According to the object editor I use the variable in 5 triggers:
1. The test trigger that pings the location
2. The initial trigger that sets the point to that location and orders units to attack move toward it.
3. Three triggers that periodically spawn enemies and tell them to attack.
I've deleted the variable (then put it back) to see all the actions that depend on it. It is assigned only once at a trigger that fires only once! The point variable is never deleted using JASS custom script to avoid leaks.
The only thing I can think of is that I assign another point variable to "random point in Star Destroyer Spawn" and then I use JASS custom script to "removeLocation" on that variable. Is it possible that the random point is sometimes hitting the center of the region, then I remove that location and the center of the region gets destroyed or something crazy like that?
EDIT: I forgot to mention the units that move to the middle use triggered movement. The ground units ordered to go to the point go nowhere. The pings on the point hit the middle of the map though.
The triggers are below in case you want to see them.
