Then
Unit - Order (Picked unit) to ( Attack targeting (Position of Barracks [26.50, 85.50])) (Replace Existing Orders)
Else

So this is the trigger I am currently using, but not all the units attack. They all move to the target but when not all of them can attack it they just go idle.

None.

Now I know this is a more indirect approach to fixing your problem, but it might help you figure something out.

I too had a problem where units refused to attack, or just stand still when given orders. I then discovered this.

Code

Unit - Create 1 Zombie for player 9 at Random Point using default facing (No Options)
Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to Zombies Group

First you have to create your units and add them to a unit group (Simply a luxary). I then issue this:

Code

Unit Group - Pick each unit in Zombies Group and do (Actions)
Actions
Unit - Order all units in (Unit group((Picked unit))) to ( Attack targeting (Position of (Closest unit to (Position of (Picked unit)) in (Any units in (Entire map) owned by player Any Player matching Required: Heroic, with at most Any Amount)))) (Replace Existing Orders)

Change Any Player with the required player, and the Heroic flag to say a new flag that could be called Factory or Barracks, and you should be done

Of course to do all this, youll need a Unit Group Variable, and you'll have to assign the flag Heroic (Or which ever you decide on) to every unit you want to be instantly assaulted by the mass known as the computer. In its current state, these triggers I have laid before you automatically force units to attack the nearest hostile target.
