unit spawning

[StrayneSS]

im making a hero seige map with a computer that spawns defencive units, i want the units to move to a certain area from their spawning place but it wont work.....
I have tried making them Move to, attack-move to, and all the other ones but the units just return back to their starting place if they are attacked or cant find a place to stand. it annoys the hell out of me....

if anyone can help i would be really grateful

Create the regions at the turns were they must turn round then do something like this:

1st Trigger
E: every 2.00 seconds of game time
C:
A:Create 1 (defense unit) at (center of(spwaning area))
A:Order (last created unit) to attack-move to (next area(a corner turn))

2nd Trigger
E: a unit enters (corner turn)
C: (unit-type of(triggering unit)) equal to (defense unit)
A:Order (triggering unit) to attack-move to (next corner area)

Keep repeating the 2nd trigger and he should attack to the location until he comes to a fight against the enemy.

Good luck with your hero siege

This will work in most cases, however if he has multiple buildings spawning units, or multiple spawning areas, then "Last Created Unit" isn't going to be what you want to do, as sometimes the triggers overlay, and the unit you just created isn't the one in your trigger (happened to me in my AoS style map).

I did basically what you said, only with one more trigger (trigger 1, simplified).

Make your first trigger create the unit at a certain region.

Make your second trigger activate when units (of player(x) control) are within it, and have them attackmove to your next region. (Kind of a mix of the two triggers, only you won't end up with units that don't move).
