My question is: Is that an issue that the critters do not junk yard dog when under the control of a computer or is it a trigger i missed?
None.
Critter hold-position
Hey guys, i saw in a RP map that the critters were not moving. I know it can be done using move to and a location, but there is NO location under the critters at all... all i saw is that the critters were not moving and they were under the control of a computer...

Order the Critter to Patrol to its location.

Maybe they centered locations on the critters with the Move Location action. Then they had the critters move to that location.
None.
You can re-use the same location.

Kaias made this where you can move a critter but it won't move via junk yard. I'm not sure if this is what you want.

Morphling, if I DO understand the map, it just massively orders the rhynadon to patrol to the location... i think the best way would be to do that and to recycle the location by using only that location for all critters
None.
You can do this by constantly Moving (NOT ordering) the critters to an unwalkable location, such as over water. That's why you don't see any location under the critters themselves.
None.

Yeah seriously guys, you have to read more carefully. When reading the topic title I, too, was immediatly reminded of Kaias' trick, but when I read the post it became clear that this is NOT what he means.
The main difference is that in Kaias' map you have still full control over the critters while preventing them wandering off when without order while Dungeon-Master wants to know how to completely freeze them.
Long story short: As ForTheSwarm/razorsnail already realized you have to move all critters to a location over unwalkable terrain (e.g. water) all the time. Hyper triggers recommended.

I just tested something, and I created the critter for a human player, and gave it to a computer via triggers, and it didn't move.

FalkonerI just tested something, and I created the critter for a human player, and gave it to a computer via triggers, and it didn't move.
I expanded that test and found out that critters that are preplaced or given to computer players 1-8 do not move. However they start their wandering if they are attacked.
... if invinsible, they won't start to move... thanks falkoner, NudeRaider and the others, it is a nice thing to know. Plus, i think i have to make the map hypers-less... but i'l make another topic to ask if it is what i need...

Oh_Man -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities[2026-9-23. : 10:09 am]
NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games[2026-9-23. : 2:30 am]
Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
