Tower Defense Problem - Returning mobs

[Graskian]

Hey everybody

I got this annoying problem, which I hope someone can help me with. I have begun to make my own TD, but the problem is: the creeps return to their spawn point, when they are attacked by towers.

Earlier on, they often did at a certain point, but I fixed that by changing the Guard Distance.

But this other thing, I haven't been able to troubleshoot on my own.

So what do you suggest?

Thanks

I'm shooting in the dark here:

There is a flag on each unit I think it was Stats - Can Flee and it can be true or
false ... is it set to false for the creeps?
If not set it to false and try again.

Can this be a trigger related problem ?

show the trigger mabye??

 

[Graskian]

Yes, eXirrah, I have tried that of course , but that doesn't seem to have an effect wether it's true or false..

Trigger-related perhaps..

I will take some printscreens and then let you know.

Thank you
Graskian

its because you either use a computer player with enabled slot for the creeps or you use a neutral owner. in both cases the creeps will belong to a hardcoded standard AI. this AI will order its units back to their guarding positions, the guarding position of a unit is by default the position of its creation.
you can disable this process with 2 methods.
either you change the owner of your creeps to be a player which slot is deactivated (isnt listed as a player slot) or you use the following GUI action for every creep you create:

• AI - Ignore Units Guard Position

If the units are based on a peasant of any kind, at the bottom, theres a spot, it says Unit Type or something, and if worker is checked, then it will flee when attacked

Wrong, if the units are based on a peasant of any kind, at the bottom, theres a spot, it says Unit Type or something, and if worker is checked, then it will flee when attacked

no it wont. it will only flee if the boolean "Can flee" is set to true. and for this boolean it doesnt matter whether the unit is a worker or not. the only difference the worker classification does is to disable the auto attacking of units in aquisation range.
