Comments
The "TARGET" section of the AI is likely different than what you would think.
Normally, when an AI group is standing still and sees an enemy, the group will break formation and start moving towards the enemy.
If you disable the "TARGET" AI, then the AI units will stay where they are at.
Even if you disable the "MOVE" AI, the units will still move out to attack the enemy, unless you disable the "TARGET" AI.
Disabling both these AI sections is useful when placing units in defensive positions.
This way, you can have them stay behind their cover, and not run out into the open.
