All Computer Units want to do is go home

Ok, I have a problem with the AI of the computer controlled units.

I order all buildings on the map to train units, and then those units are ordered to attack/move to a enemy Command Center.

Problem is, if a unit uses a ability and is no where near another object to attack/use the ability again on it goes back to the building that trained it and stays there.

Thats in the gameplay constants somewhere. Theres one for creep return distance and time, edit them to your liking. But remember, if you make them infinite, a creep will chase you from one side of the map to the other without turning back.

Ok, if you haven't noticed creeps don't own buildings/are trained.

Computer Controlled Player slots I mean, their units.

I'm having that problem too. Turning off AI guard posistions via triggers hasn't helped. I have noticed though that heroes don't seem to have that issue. I have a bunch of units lead by a hero, and while the units eventually ignore the patrol order and go home, the hero doesn't.

That is a great quote on your signiture :)

Hello, all. I just got my account back =) Yay!

Anyway, my previous map had a reinforcement system where I use a trigger to create a unit as neutral passive and send it to a point on the map. Twas then when I bumped into the same problem as you. It moves a certain distance, and then turns around and heads back to where it started.

I never did find out why it happened, but I worked around it by creating the unit as a player controled, and then instantly changing ownership back to Neutral Passive.

Hope it helps.

I am having the same problem... I have Player12(brown) units "wandering". Essentially every 3 seconds they move 200 in a random direction(wander makes them run away when hit, that's no good). But there is still a problem.

When the computer units move 200, the second they reach the destination they turn right back to their origional position. It looks enough like wandering, but it doesn't look pretty.
