Salamander, included or not?

[rysnt11]

hi all, i have a slight problem, the salamanders in my map won't attack the attacker, they always run away like a chicken, so i've want to ask your opinion, shoud it removed, or not?

some info

salamander in my map is a hostile unit, it usualy camp alone in a cave, it droppes some item, such as salamander's skin, and salamander's scale, they both used for material in alchemist's potions

Personally If all it does it Run away and just allow ppl to pwn it for loot, I'd remove it.

Well if it's small and rare, and doesn't give anything apart from alchemyst items for strong alchemyst potions I'd just let it be, so ppl have to look for them ^^

You must have edited it from a critter. To keep it from running away, you can either remove the Wander ability or change (in the Unit Editor) 'Stats-Can Flee: True' to False. This looks like an old topic though

i edited it from the normal salamander in neutral hostile, added wander (neutral) to it

 

[Tickles]

Oh, then Wander is your problem. It's better to use triggers to make hostile units move once in a while, and you can use the 'Attack-Move To' order to make them attack nearby enemies while they're moving to a specified point.

Too complex, and may lag, and seems i will choose kanadaj's suggestions

The Wander ability or unit changed (in the Unit Editor) 'Stats-Can Flee: True' to False.

The wander ability is you're problem, whenever a unit is attacked with this ability they will not attack back. You could use the trigger idea stated above (which shouldn't lag too much)
