[Trigger] Get units to attack nearest unit without returning to spawn point

[Ilusioner]

Greetings,

I need to create following mechanics, where over time, at every 'Demonic Sundering' unit, a group of neutral-hostile units will spawn, and will go attack nearest non-neutral-hostile control point. After they destroy the CP, they will be again issues to attack nearest non-neutral-hostile control point.

The trigger when demons spawn:

The problem I have here is that the units will return to their spawn location after taking few shots/attacks from players. Despite me using the action 'AI - ignore unit's guard position', the units will proceed to return to their spawn location.

I cannot change the 'Guard Distance' in settings to infinite, as I also have creep camps in map, and I need them to stay on point instead of chasing after the player for whole map. I had hopes the AI - Ignore guard position will help me out, but it was unsuccesful.

Any ideas how to fix the problem?

Periodicly order the units to attack the nearest ControlPoint. Each second, for example.

Then, obviously they will attack the nearest control point, and then automatcialy, when one is destroyed, they will also attack the next closest one.

do not use neutral hostile for new spawned units (stationary creep camps are fine)
use other free slot instead
make neutral hostile and this new owner of spawned groups ally

If I did that, the map would lag as hell, as every second around ~30 units would do group to find nearest CP to get the attack-move command. No, that's not an option.

I'm planning to use every player spot for players. Or do you mean that I should spawn them as Player1 units, issue the command, and then change owner?

You mean looping through 30 units each second is no option? It's nothing.

I had this problem before and found that even this was not enough. What i ended up doing was using a player slot for the creeps, because neutral hostile units usually insist on guarding no matter what and i don't think you can get rid of this.
