Unit protects carriage.

[DESTROYER123]

Hey people.
Any ideas on how I can make an AI unit protect a moving carriage?
The unit has spells which he casts while in combat (controlled by AI).
I want the unit to move next to the carriage and protect it with his life (spells, attack e.t.c.)
Thanks.

Hmm it might not be everything you want, but if you right click a unit onto an allied unit, it will follow them and attack whatever they attack. I don't know if it will work in this situation, but might be helpful.

You just give the unit the order "smart" targeting the carriage. The unit will trail behind it but I think it should attack anything that gets close.

Hmmm...
Will that do the trick:

• Unit - Order Expert Mage 0012 <gen> to Follow Wagon 0003 <gen>

?

Edit:
Made it:

• Cheval protects wagon
  • Events
    • Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Point008 = (Position of Wagon 0003 <gen>)
    • Unit - Order Expert Mage 0012 <gen> to Attack-Move To Point008
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point008)

Thanks for your help. Your idea really helped me .

If the movement isn't formation based, it will work. Else, you need to make some sort of interval update to reset position.
