[General] How to remove guard position?

[AtivEnergy]

Greetings!
I've made a spider spawn system where each spider must walk random on the map with attack - move.

The problem is that if i spawn the spider at neutral hostile(and i want that because i don't want to see red dots on minimap), the spider will attack/follow me only ~approx 1000 range and then he will go back in his last position and i don't like that.

If i spawn the same spider at, for exameple, player(23), the spider will attack me forever, and i like that. I don't want to change "creep aggro distance" because i don't want all the spiders to attack me. The acquisition range must be only 1000 range.

I don't know how to remove that guard position from neutral hostile spiders..

• AI - Ignore (Last created unit)'s guard position

This trigger don't work..
--------------------------------------------
If is impossible to solve that problem above and i'll be forced to use player (23), i have another question..
It is possible to make the minimap spider point another color, but not red. I don't want to confuse the spiders with the players..

The help will be appreciated!

How To Stop Neutral Units From Returning To Spawn Point

I'm having issues with units that are neutral (Player(12) to Player(15)) will return to their spawn point (set by CreateUnit) even though my units are moved via triggers (SetUnitX and SetUnitY) still move back to their original location (the 'guard point'). Even though my script still moves...

I can't confirm if the solutions in the thread still work on the latest version.

That's what I had him try before he he posted this thread and the method described there seems not to work now.

Indeed, seems not to work.

• AI - Ignore (Last created unit)'s guard position

this would only work if an ai script was controlling units. doesn't look like one is running for players 1 or 2 in the map you linked. if you want neutral hostile to ignore guard then use uncle's link.

not entirely sure what you are asking for but there's also target acquision range for units preset on the map and some settings in Gameplay Constants. those may cause crashes I heard not 100% sure.

For the third time... this method does not work. (Any more?) It was the first thing I found to suggest to the OP.

here's also target acquision range for units preset on the map and some settings in Gameplay Constant

The units are not preplaced on the map (though a dumb solution would be to preplace like 100 of them in some corner of the map and then just move one of those over every time instead of spawning a spider from scratch). Gameplay constants cannot be modified because there are other neutral creeps that need to leash properly:
