Unit patrolling whole map

[Meronia]

How to make unit patrol whole map around (and attack units that get in aquisition range of the unit, since I know that if unit patrols - it won't attack nearby enemies). I only saw that I can make it patrol to certain point/region, but don't know how to make it patrol the map all way around and repeat that during the whole game

Well you could - Order Unit to - Attack walk to - Random Point in ''region'' or Playable map
With the phrase Attack walk it should attack everything on its way.

What if i'd like this unit to go in circle on the whole map? Like on the attached file, going in circle in loop endlessly

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Simplest way to do this is by creating "breadcrumb" regions the unit attack-moves into (you will need to use more regions for smoother circles). The last one will link to the first one to repeat the cycle endlessly. I've attached a demo as an example.

(since I know that if unit patrols - it won't attack nearby enemies).

I doubt your knowledge, unliss something has change with the updates?
last time I checked patrolling units did attack anyone who comes close in acquisition range, and the only except if they were set to patrol your hero and the hero is moving, not attacking.

patrolling your hero will make units imitate what your hero is doing, moving if he moves and battling if he battles.

EVENT
A unit enters (Region01)
CONDITION
Unit Type equal to (your unit)
ACTION
Order (your unit) to (Region02)
you need repeat this process to all regions completing the circle

Thank you all for help! Everything works now
Edit: Nevermind, it worked only for first two regions. It enters first region, goes to the second one, and goes back to the first one and so on. Even though i set it to "unit enters 2nd region - patrol to 3rd region" and so on

He doesn't go to Fel Reaver 3 region, he goes back to first one (inb4: way to 3rd region isn't blocked by any means)

The region isn't blocked; the unit has a leash range that it's leaving. Order it to stop, then patrol onward when it reaches a new region.

Ordering it to stop before going to next region worked! thank you
