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.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
