[SOLVED] Question about Reaver attack rate

Okay so I'm building a map that uses the 'direct damage system'. So I have my reaver set up at the lower part of the map, and each time I create a new reaver, it takes him about a second to attack the nearby target. I want to know why it's taking so long for the reaver to attack the target, and how I can make him respond to it faster on creation.

The map is below if you want to take a look. It's the last 3 triggers in player 6.

Thanks in advance :)

You can create Reavers at quicker intervals for a faster stream of scarabs to become available. For example, by having three spawn locations, and having a Reaver appear between them at 1/3rd the timing you currently have for creating one Reaver, the scarabs will spawn three times faster.

As far as the delay in attacking, this can be caused by:

1) Spamming an AI or order for the player owning the Reaver
2) The Reaver's hangar count not being modified quickly enough
3) Bad vision between Reaver and enemy (not likely the issue)

It's none of those reasons. There must be another factor. Please can someone experienced with DDS help out!!

Woah

EDIT:
Azrael's below solution works. You could also add 1 to the hangar of the Reaver when it gets created in the "-----" trigger, and that will work as well.

I resolved it by putting "Restore hangar" at the bottom.
