I just hit the maximum amount of doodads on my map when I'm only about 80% complete, so I got WENoLimits to remove the limit. After I place some more doodads I save my map and go to play it. The unit that are pre-placed on the map start to walk around trying to engage the enemy on the other side of a boundary, when I select the unit and tell it to move/attack/patrol he just sits there. It can't be pathing because the unit was just moving on it's own. After I give it it's command to move or do whatever it sits for about 3 seconds then starts moving on it's own again.

The map is also larger than 192x192, its set to 256x256, the amount of doodads currently there are 8446.

Help?

Hmm... now when I tell them to move, they sit for about 1-2 seconds, then they take the order. Even if I issue the unit to move a foot beside him he takes about 2 seconds, then he moves.

EDIT: I know it isn't UNIT DATA, TRIGGERS, or the fact that I went over the doodad max.

UNIT DATA: Works in any other map
TRIGGERS: Deleted them all
Doodad Max: I had a backup copy of the map before I went over doodad max.

What can this be????

EDIT 2: It isn't DOODADS, MAP SIZE either.

DOODADS: Deleted Them All
MAP SIZE: Works on other 192x192.

Grr

I'm modding, but I haven't changed anything in this map that requires MPQ editing. I even removed all triggers and doodads.

EDIT: This is RoC war, not TFT.

Bah, you know what it was? I'll tell you

I have a square area surrounded by boundary, with 1 enemy inside it. (Your only supposed to teleport into it) And I have MY unit outside the region. These are the units that are walking around trying to engage the enemy. When I told these units to hold position, or move them all at once, everythign works, they move right when I tell them to. Apparently there is a bug in War3 that when 1 unit tries to aquire another unit through a boundary, the game sorta freezes, when these units that are trying to aquire a unit are stopped, everything works good. I'll inform blizzard about this.
