Units that are spawned needs to be told to walk around.. how?

[Gnoren]

If you know how Orc Gladiators map looks like, you will understand this immediatly.

I got 3 spawns of creeps in a small map, what i need them to do is to walk around in this arena, searching for the surviving players.

How can i make this?

+rep for the helping hand

You could create some regions in the map, and order the spawned units to attack-move to random point in some other region.

Save the regions into an array. When unit enters any of the regions, order it to move to a random point in random region.

Set integer = random number between 0 and *number of regions*
Temp_Point = random point in region_array[temp_integer]
Order *unit* to attack move to Temp_Point
Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc)

Check that the oredered region isn't the same as the current region.

You can also add some logic there for the movement, divide the regions to different arrays, randomize the arrays and then the regions. This can be used to make the unit move to the regons that are closer, not immediately to the other side of the map.

cant i order the spawned units to attack random hostile units within a region that covers the whole arena?

Yes you can. Make sure you don't leak unit groups.

That's a somewhat less sophisticated solution though, since that way the units will "know" where the hostiles are. It will work though.

well they are supposed to know where the hostiles are so maybe that's what i need =) thx!
