Creeps not Attacking

I can't get my creeps to attack my players.

I set it up so when a hero enters a region it spawns a bunch of creeps controlled by Player 11, who I've set up as an enemy of all the players. What happens is that all the creeps stand there and stare at the hero as he beats them down. I don't know what the problem is, or how to fix it. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me.

Oh, and I've tried making them spawn as Neutral Hostile and it still didn't help.

I've tried both, neither attacks.

I also tried spawning them as Neutral Hostile.

are you SURE they are enemies of the player? Can you attack them automatically? Do they show up as red when you move your cursor over them?

Does your hero have invulnerable or divine armor?

Yes, they're enemies, they charge at the hero like they're going to attack, but then they just stand around him.

He's not invuln, and the creeps do have attacks, so I'm really at a loss here.

Check under "Scenario -> Player Properties... -> Forces" to see if they are listed under the same Force. If so, move the creeps out of the player Force.

Check to make sure no triggers are assigning the two players as allies.

If those two aren't the problem, the only other thing I can think of is that the models you are using don't have attack animations (or said animations are messed up).

Hope that helps.

Maybe your graphics card is messed up and doesnt play some types of animations correctly. Do you units take damage?

First off, they are on 2 different forces, and I have triggers that specifically set all the players as enemy of the Creep controller, and No, my units don't take damage.

Ok, I've figured out what the problem was.

I had a friggin trigger that said when ever a unit owned by a player is attacked, to move the attacker to a region, but I didn't specify to only do that if it attacked a structure, but now I have and so it works.
