    I am pretty sure this must have been posted before, but i am terrible at using the search function and i werent able to find anything.
    I got creeps, ordered to move to a certain spot.
    When they get low on hp, they turn around, walk the other way for some seconds, then continue. Why?

    Is it indeed because of the low health, or this field from Advanced -> Gameplay Constants -> Creeps - Guard return time (sec)?

    In object editor, there is a line that read "Combat - Can Flee: (Checked or Unchecked)" or something like that. Uncheck it might help, though I'm pretty sure this only applied when this unit can't fight back ( IE: unable to attack air units ) or it's a worker-type.

    I believe there is not a hardcoded thing in Warcraft 3 that can cause a unit to turn back when it is low on HP. You should check your triggers as well.
