Units Walking wrong way

[Eragon956]

Ok, so i'm currently working on this map where its like dota. Three lanes, one set of units per lane. I have the units spawn at different spots then, what they're supposed to do, patrol to the specified points. The problem is that the untis like, turn around at diffrent spots. I dont understand, i'm attaching my map so please look at it and please figure it out. Thanks. and yes i know there are models usd from this site (planning on giving credit) and yes, i know theres like a bilion tomes of power in the lefthand corner (only beta testing to get heroes to lvl 25 to test.

Edit: Thanks, i'll do that

The root of your problem lies at the direct order: Patrol. Patrolling basically means commuting between two points. The AI attempts to execute two orders from the script at the same time: patrol and move to the next region, and this results in some of them returning to the point the order was initially given.

I'd recommend using Attack-move instead of patrol; it's more efficient, causes no bugs and is more simple than patrol.

I hope this helped

Make sure your player who own the units is actually a player, or comp. If the slot is unused or neutral the units will automatically go back to thier spot after getting so far away even if you told them to attack command.

2nd Q

Ok yeah dub, that leads into my next question...how do i make it so that the "player" is already selected as soon as u enter the lobby and wait for people? cause as of now when i test it i have to make it a computer easy, how do i change that? cause i think thats why my units turn back around (even after i did the attack-move command)

Go to scenario then player properties.

Choose a player 1-12 to be the enemy. Type in a name for them. Set race to whatever you prefer. Set controller to computer. You probably want a fixed start location for all the players so check those.

Go to forces, check use custom forces and fixed player settings. Create a new force, put the enemy computer in it.

Eragon you map drive me mad becouse i make player 1 to be computer but still when i start to test i am player 1 wtf is this but anyway i will create you moving triggers for up and midle you will create for down (somthing is wrong with your map). I will upload the map around 10-15 minutes becouse my PC have heavy problems from today there is some memory leaks or somthing and when i click to player proporties at world editor it open the section for like 4-5 minutes i dunno why everything other is ok..
Edit: i write discruptions what every trigger do this is not the best moving set of triggers but is ok for you
