Disabling creep behavior for Neutral Passive (or specific units)

[StangtennisGuru]

I need to be able to issue orders for a Neutral Passive to move around the map without having it start running back towards it's spawn location whenever it feels like it. Changing the global Guard Distance variables is not an option since the map has actual creeps that I want to function normally.
I'm doubtful there is a clean solution for this as I have already tried a lot, including a trigger that registers when the unit is ordered to go back and instead orders it to move to the place it's actually supposed to go (which for some reason doesn't trigger every time the unit tries to move back), but figure I might as well ask and see if anyone knows of a way to do it.

An easy solution is to change the owner of the unit to an unused player temporarily. Change the owner back to Neutral Passive after Guard Return Time, which is by default 5 seconds.

Attached below is a test map that shows that the above solution works. Just a heads up, the test map was made in Reforged.

Do you have an unused Player Slot that you can make Neutral towards everyone? I don't see why you couldn't just create your own Neutral Passive player.

While I technically have 3 unused player slots, I'd prefer not having to dedicate one to this. Just for the record though, would setting the player "Controller" under Player Properties to Neutral also result in Creep behavior for that player's units? (And if not, what exactly is the difference between setting the Controller to Neutral and Computer?)
