O.K. Probably not the best title but I didn't know what else to call it other than 'Help Me!' and that tells nothing of my problem. Now, in RoC, the second(?) Orc mission is leading the Tauren to their home on the plains. In this mission, the Tauren move foward along the set path of their own accord unless the Players Hero is behind them.
For a TFT reference, I think its the third last Night Elf Mission where you help guide Kael from his base, through the undead lands, and across a river to escape. This is probably a better example as you get to pick which direction you want to follow when you come to a cross road.
Could someone help me make this? I have almost no clue on how to get this working properly.
Thanks and +rep to all who help.

Why'd you post then. Thanks for that part anyway. Now I just need a way to get my units moving properly. Currently either they just run around randomly to their destination, stop partway to their destination, or not attack enemies. They also keep moving when the players Hero is behind them.

try MPQ Master that what i use and its doing the job very well :thup:
also, its the 6th NE mission in Frozen Throne, frankly it has not been "updated" for the 1.24b patch and it gave me an error that it cant find "SaveGameCacheBJ" in GUI so you might need to learn how to add JASS functions to GUI(look for sevion's tutorial if you do)
EDIT: this is the tutorial tutorial

Thanks, worked perfectly.

I don't hink I'll use blizzards method of a creating huge numbers of regions and ordering the units to move to the centre of them. They don't even fix the leaks!
Probably the only thing of Blizzards I'll be using is the Formation Formulas.
frankly it has not been "updated" for the 1.24b

Doesn't matter, I'm using pre 1.24 version for this map
