Units stop following when you move

[moraskopetla]

Hello, I'm am currently making a map where you have to survive being followed by a lot of creatures at once.
I am encountering an issue though where after a certain amount of creeps spawn and start following you, they would stop when you move and start chasing again if you stop.
I took a screenshot which doesn't show movement but my character is moving and all the creatures just watch til I stop.
Someone got any ideas how to fix this ? please !

Hello, it sounds like you're dealing with an issue related to high unit counts + triggered orders.

Try splitting the creeps among different Computer players. Hopefully your map has some open slots. I tend to give ~60 units per CPU. Also, I've heard that having a smaller collision size on the creeps can help as well, so maybe do both.

The CPUs can share the same color/name by using triggers and/or modifying their names in the Player Properties menu. That way the creeps will appear to be owned by the same Player despite being divided amongst many. If this causes problems in your triggers (IE: Unit owned by Player X) I can suggest some simple solutions.

Thanks a lot ! Creating more computers worked.
Can't seem to change the color of a unit's health bar though so they all appear like a rainbow xd

How did you change their colors? I'm pretty sure there's an easy fix.

How To Post Your Trigger

TopHow To Post Your Triggers I've seen many and many members around the site who need help with their triggers but don't know how to post their triggers in a thread, especially the newcomers. Posting your triggers in a thread is a very important matter when you're asking for a help from other...

Isn’t there now a game option to display health bars using player colors? That’s probably how. I would try messing with player properties in the Scenario drop-down menu.

Well I can't change ownership since I need creeps to be owned by different computers or they overload and stop moving.
If I only change the color of the unit it changes its model but not its health bar. I used this trigger :

• Unit - Change color of (Last created unit) to Light Blue

I want to change their health color too or else they appear like a rainbow and hurt my eyes xd

You want to change the color of the Player:

• Change Colors Of Computers
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Change the Player Numbers to match your Computer player slots! --------
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Player number of (Picked player)) Greater than or equal to 12
            • (Player number of (Picked player)) Less than or equal to 24
          • Then - Actions
            • Player - Change color of (Picked player) to Brown, Changing color of existing units
            • Player - Set name of (Picked player) to Monsters
          • Else - Actions

But they need to be actual Computers.
