Unit keeps returning to one spot after moved

[M0RT]

Hi, I have a slight problem in my most recent map. I use SetUnitX/Y to move units around, but for some reason they keep returning to their spawn location (they move only SetUnitX/Y the entire time). They start moving back when they get too far (can't say exactly how far that is, sometimes it affects units differently.

Close to spawn - works fine

The units keep their position and facing properly

Too far

Formation totally fell apart, units are all facing spawn point and trying to move there

Advanced - Gameplay Constants -> Creeps Guard distance.

Set it to something like 99999, and see if that helps.

Wow, it works. I always though "Creeps guard distance" will work on creeps only, but it seems to work on normal units, too.
Thanks

You can also use

• AI - Ignore the guard position of (<Your Unit>) for (<Player>)

It has a very similar effect.

I tried that exact function with no effect. Does it even work on non-computer-controlled players? (The units I had problem with are controlled by a player, maybe I should have mentioned that )

Ah, it appears to only work on Computer Units, but for that purpose, it's a good function.

There's even a

• AI - Ignore the guard position of all units owned by (<Player>)

So you don't even need to pick unit groups and stuff.
