Creep with true sight? {giving True Sight to a neutral hostile unit in melee maps}

[Teelo]

Do any of the 200 or so Neutral Hostile creeps have true sight?
If not, is there a way to give one of them true sight without my map losing its melee status?

If they don't have it then your original meele status will be lost I think.

you can try putting one of those undead scout units (dont remember the english name, scheme or sth? ) and change the ownership to neutral hostile

it's a Shade.
You could also order it to follow the target unit so it's as if they have truesight.

 

[UreDe4D]

no you can't order it to follow the unit, as this would require a trigger, and maps with triggers are not melee

Im wondering, but does trigger injection remove melee status? although it would be a false melee, noone would care if u used a trigger just to give sumthin truesight..., of the melee creeps i duno any with truesight, but a shade sitting in their camp would probably work just fine

Yes trigger or modified units will remove the melee status.

And btw I am not sure what happens when a shade is somewhere in a camp and the archmage uses his teleport. can the shade be targetet?

Yes, if owner of the Shade is an ally of owner of am.

Hmm, putting a shade in the creep camp and making it Neutral Hostile. I didn't consider that, mainly because I just assumed changing it to Neutral Hostile would remove the melee flag. Apparently not.
Thanks.

Blizzard's melee status calculation is stupid, when you add a drop table to a creep you will also lose it.
