This is where you decide who will be the Player that becomes neutral and who will be the Player that triggers it. You can add the wander ability to the changed unit or not, In this example I do.

Trigger Player = You and your allies.

Hostile Player = Your agressive creeps that will turn neutral.

Neutral Player = The ownership of the hostile creep will change to this player.

Changing Ability = The ability that will be removed or added once the unit changes ownership.

(Optional) Effect Range = This is the range in which the unit will change ownership.

Firstly all you need to do is make sure your map has 'Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data' ticked

To do so, click File -> Preferences -> General tab

Then copy the System you wish to use.

Paste it into your map and set the Players you want in each group. Delete the type of of detection you don't want(These are Attack, Clicking and Range).

The rest should be left alone unless you know how to change the triggers to the way you want it.

I'd like it if you gave me credits :). You have my permission to change this in anyway you want as long as I am credited.
