Okay so in my map, the comp spawns units at a location, and i make them order:attack to another location. They are suppose to attack every enemy unit that they see, but they dont. Instead they only attack units that attack them first. So if nothing attacks a unit, then the unit just keeps walking. Any idea how to fix this?

order:patrol

wel i tried that and it messed up, when the units bunch up to attack something, they sometimes patrol back without going all the way to the end, then going back to the location they stopped at, and it keeps on going like that. So basicly, some units never reach the end. And if this helps, i use hyper triggers.

Would makeing a location covering the entire track, that every few seconds makes the order:patrol command trigger again, fix this? I think i can do this useing death counters.

add an unally trigger, just in case any of your other triggers screwed up the ally status.
EDIT:
Just trying to help, if it doesn't work, don't bitch to me like most people do >_>

i have one set up. its a preserve trigger so it should take care of that

you could also make a trigger that commands your people to attack automatically, that way the comp would fight back.

lol no worries (:

It should work, DC timer should be at least 36 or so.

If it doesn't work for some reason, try using multiple destinations along the way, so they patrol from A to B, then B to C, C to D, etc. If any attempt to go backwards, they will get caught in the most recent checkpoint and be turned back the right way.

If you cover the entire track, they'll go to the center of the location -- the center of the track, not the end. Have one location at the end and patrol the units multiple times, periodically, to that location. Time it with death counters. Don't just order every trigger cycle, or the units' attempts to attack may break.

He meant using a track-wide location for the unit's starting location, not the destination one.
