Neutrals Patrol

[Landscaper]

Hello, everyone.
Does anybody know how I can make a Neutrals patrol or go to a certain point without coming back to where they first stood?
+rep and thanks to anyone who can find the answer.

Order a unit to move to target location?

• Patrol
  • Events
    • Event
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order Neutral to Move To Location

If you mean move to target location, then after a short time move back (not just back and forth), you could set a timer.

I know that, but I don't wont it to come back. I need it to move back and forth and I also need to know how to make it go to a location, without coming back.
Meaning all I need to know is how to control it via triggers.

Yes, you order it to move to a point after "event" happens, thats how you make something move with triggers. besides that i don't understand what else you need. What do you mean by "I don't wont it to come back. I need it to move back and forth"? You want it to move to a spot, then move to a different spot?

The thing is that after a certain time neutrals go back to where they stood in the first place; no matter if it's patrolling, moving somewhere, attacking, etc. I wont them to stop at the point (or continue patrolling, whichever).
Do you know how that can be done? (If you don't understand what I'm saying, please tell me)

Make the unit to hold position, if not maybe add a region so if it enters that region it'll redo those triggers to move to that targeted location in the first place.

To fix neutral creeps from returning to their original preset point or the spot they were created at, go to Advanced -> Gameplay Constants and edit the following values:
• Creeps - Guard Return Distance (Set it to 99999.00)
• Creeps - Return time (sec.) (Set it to 99999.00 as well)

Thanks, Pharaoh.
But is there any way to do it via triggers (for just one unit, not all)?

Yeah, change its owner to a player, whose slot is unused, but it's controller type is "User". Go to Force Priorities to do that. To imitate Neutrals, use the following actions:

• Unit - Change color of (Unit) to Black
• Player - Set name of (UnusedPlayer) to (Player name of (Neutral Hostile))
• Unit - Change owner of (Unit) to (UnusedPlayer) and Retain color

Thanks. By the way, that's a great idea. Just what I needed.
Sorry, but Hive doesn't let me add on to your rep for some reason.
