[Solved] Unit ordered to move...returns to original location

[darwin]

I have had this problem a dozen times, and I can never remember how to get around it...

I want a unit to patrol in a square-shaped pattern. Every time it enters an area, I order it to attack-move to the next corner. This works okay, except the first time when it almost gets to location 3 and then turns around to return to its original location.

It's pathing is not blocked.

It's not attacking anything.

When it returns to the original location it gets the order to attack-move back again and it works.

I've disabled player use...no luck. I've changed the unit so that it cannot "flee." I've told the AI to ignore its guard position.

How do you get a unit to stop returning to its location?

It is the creep guard distance field. Note that this will apply to all neutral hostile units.

At times, it is easier to use an empty player slot for spawning and creeps since you don't need to factor in neutral hostile behavior.

I did use player 7 for the units... that didn't work by itself because it had a computer user so I changed Player 7 to None and it worked.

Thanks.
