Guard distance for neutral hostile

Evening folks.

I'm using neutral hostile units, and giving them huge aquisition range. They come and attack me- good. The problem is that they then just go back to where they came from. Even though I've used 'AI-turn guard position for (last created unit) off'. The trigger is not the problem, but it's not doing what I thought it was. Anyone know what the issue is please? :(

EDIT: Should I just use a player slot with no controller? :(

Have you tried setting the "Creep - Guard Return Distance" and the "Creep - Guard Return Time" under gameplay constants to very high amounts?

About the player slots. I tend to use computer controlled player slots if I want the NPCs to use abilities but I have tried testing the guard distance with the same settings. The computer controlled units act kinda strange. Sometimes they do return when they reach the max distance sometimes they don't.

Edit: You could set the "Creep - Guard Distance" to effect the whole map as well? If your map allows it of course.

Thing is, i don't want a globally large guard distance or return time. It varies from one set of units to the next. Some I want to completely ignore it, some I want to act fairly normally.

Could you tweak your trigger so you might be able to use "Issue Order Targeting Unit/Point" instead?

Hmm, I might try guard time. Since the units which I want to have effectively no guard distance are in quite enclosed areas, I can set the time really high, but keep the distance short. Thanks ^^

Oh, I see. I just changed ownership to a player with no controller. Made it easier in a way.

"Ignore guard position" doesnt work for neutral hostile. Use a player slot instead.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
