Units not Accepting Orders

Hey guys, in a couple of the maps I'm making that involve using only one unit, the unit randomly stops accepting incoming orders and just continues doing whatever the last thing it was asked to do is, the player is not able to order it to stop and has no control of their own unit until they select another unit then reselect their first unit.

Does anyone know what is causing this or how to remove it?

Please note that in both of the maps this has happened in it has only happened when a computer player is in the game, and has not happened when the comp player is not in the game.

It is likely that somewhere in your code or in the player forces settings you are giving control to the computer.

Hey guys, sorry for ressing this older topic, but I think it's better than posting a new one about the same problem, I've checked all my settings and triggers, even when there are no computer players in the map this problem still happens.

I have no idea what's causing it, if I select a unit and order it to move to a certain position, it will begin moving, but if I tell it to move to a location other than the one it's currently moving to it will continue moving to the previously selected point, I can order it to stop, hold position, cast a spell, but nothing stops it from it's current command. Then when it reaches the location I still cannot control it untill awhile after, or I deselect it, select something else, and reselect it.
