How to perma-make one unit follow another?

[NightSong]

In the map I'm making I have a druid char that spawns a 'Forest Spirit', kinda like in D2, and I want the spirit to follow the hero around without the player having to select them both and move them.

Anyways, how would I go about doing this..?

And, if possible, is there a way to cause the forest spirit to kind of fly around aimlessly within a certain radius around the hero? I was thinking something like locust swarm, but I don't think the 'spawned units' from that ability can have auras.. but perhaps I'm wrong?

Regardless, thanks for your time and advice =D

i think you can use locust swarm for that, try giving it an aura, i'm not sure if it works though, but try

The Problem could be you see the Spirit only if the Swarm ability is activated, and it will vanish as soon as it stop. Loosing all Items if it is a storage beside the aura.
If the Spirit has the locust ability it wont have an aura

Try this trigger:

• Unit
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order unit001 to Follow unit002

If its dont work i dont know what will work...

Elven_God, I kinda like your idea, but maybe instead of just ordering it to follow the druid, I could order it to move to a random point within a radius around the druid? I'll try and see if that works, and thanks for the inspiration
