I am making a level that I can let my kids play. I call it "Nerf Herding".

Herding is where a shepherd comes near a herd unit and the herd moves away from the shepherd. The goal is to push the herd from one side of the map to the other.

Right now, I have this:
Shepherd: side 1, defender, Spawn at Pen, 1xAndy
Cow: side 2, defender, Spawn at Field A, 1xBullpup, Action: Mine

Mission Load allies side 1 with side 2, but not side 2 with side 1. It spawns some Andys and some Bullpups.

When I get an Andy close to a Bullpup, Andy attacks the Bullpups. And the Bullpups do not run away.

How can I stop the attacks and have the Bullpups move away?

I did not want to use areas to control this herding because that takes up lots of areas and triggers.

p.s. Does anyone know what movie "Nerf Herder" came from? I just can't remember.

Do you set the agressiveness of the bullpups to coward? Also, try to not set them to mine. Mining makes them too focused.

Okay I now have:
Shepherd: side 1, self defense, Spawn at Pen, 1xAndy, Action: None
Cow: side 2, coward, Spawn at Field A, 1xBullpup, Action: None
Mission Load allies side 1 with side 2, but not side 2 with side 1.

Andy now walks up to the Bullpups without attacking. The Bullpups still don't move.

A trigger to move from area-to-area can be done but, ugh, too much logic.
