Could you provide a video of the issue? Preferably in the debugger and with `aimode` turned on. In case you don't know how to do that, all you do is go in-game (in the debugger), press the ~ key, press enter a few times, then type "aimode" without quotes and hit enter.

Interesting, I've never seen a "Convoy" state before; the name of the state makes sense, since the definition of convoy is "to escort for protection." I think it might be automatically assigned to units close to a walker to have them protect it, probably with walkers like the AT-AT and AT-TE in mind.
Try checking to see if this happens in the stock game with smaller walkers like the AT-RT and AT-ST. If it does not happen with them, go ahead and compare the ODFs of the walkers that don't with the ones that do to see if there's a particular parameter that may be causing this.
Also, question: where are these Convoy units spawning from? If they're spawning from the walkers then that could possibly be related, and it'd likely mean that this only happens with CommandWalkers.

1. These convoy units are spawning from the command posts.
2. I will compare with the stock at-te
3. Please stay active on this post marth800

I compared the stock with the custom .odf and I saw nothing!
(Could this be a memory pull error, however in the log there is no error...)
EDIT
Marth880 I still need help on my previous post also:
http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=33157
I double checked the one man atst (rep side) and I found these properties...
NoCombatInterrupt = "1"
AICollisionRadius = "2.0"
AIUseHoverPhysics = "1"
EDIT
I just tested these properties and they did not work...
NoCombatInterrupt = "1"
AICollisionRadius = "2.0"
AIUseHoverPhysics = "1"

Are your walkers CommandWalkers or are they just the normal Walker class? If they're CommandWalkers, try setting their class to Walker and see what happens. (You might need to comment out some of the spawn radius parameters from the ODF if there's any.)

They are just "walkers" I will comment out any spawn properties if I see any...
EDIT
I didn't find any spawn properties
Here is the vehicle .odf file

Sometimes it happens with my mod too...
This happens for me when there's too many bots that spawn at the same time near a vehicle (with the IFT-X). 2 bots are going in the tank, and 1 or 2 other bots are still trying to go in the vehicle, even if the vehicle is full.

I am starting to think there is no fix to this probelm. If it's a AI problem, then we're screwed because AI behavier is hard coded, so that means no one can fix the bug.
Unless someone figures out a way to crack the game from the inside out and kill that hard coded stuff.
