Strange AI occurence

[Sargon]

OK, so I'm making an AoS map currently. So I threw together a rough version of the terrain, and made a system of creep spawnings for the computer players. Well, I was testing it (basically watching the computer players fight), and I noticed something odd. Every now and then, once a group has finished fighting, one of the units will, instead of moving to the next checkpoint, turn right around and move all the way back to the region in which it spawned before turning around and starting the path again. Why does this happen, and can I stop it somehow? I'll attach the map so that you can see my triggering. It's just a minor thing, but it's annoying and I would like ot fix it. Thanks!

Just to let you know, this is a rather common problem in Aos's (it occasionally happens when I'm testing AWA with conan), so it should be easily fixable

Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix it

If you have unit groups, it might be releated to that or something. I've seen the problem firsthand, but can't help you

Nope, I just use "unit enters region x" type triggers.

Heh, if I had used unit groups, I might have entire groups of units retreating from the corpses of their foes ("We killed them! Run for your lives!"). At least it's just the occasional militaman right now.

i got that problem to... i had units attack move to a region... but when they got there... they just rurned around, nd went back to were they started from. and so, howdya fix that? did you?? :banghead:

I'll have a look and see if I can fix it.

BTW using unit enters region x will cause massive memory leakage won't it?

> using unit enters region x will cause massive memory leakage

Just the event? No, why would it?

 

[UnknowVector]

im guessing your not dumb enthog to make the comperture player creeps beacuse they turn around

 

[Sargon]

No, of course not. The creeps are actually renamed Knights, Militia, and Priests (actually, the Priests haven't been changed).
