[General] Stopping Unit Combat Assist?

[Systemfre1]

This is a weird topic, I don't think I've seen many people look into it.

So, basically there is a function in Warcraft 3 that compels nearby units to attack something that is attacking a friendly unit, outside of the acquisition range.

Acquisition Range

This object field dictates how close someone needs to be before the unit will start to attack them automatically.

Here is a diagram

The red zone indicates at what point they will start attacking other units.

But in this exact diagram, the troll on the left will start attacking the hero after the first troll on the right has attacked has started to attack.

After some testing this is an estimation, no matter how I change the acquisition range or any other type of range/sight distance, the left troll always seems to help is fellow troll. This does create some annoying situations when I'm trying to create some smaller areas in an RPG styled environment.

Does anyone know how I could artificially create this acquisition effect OR how to turn off the combat assist on units?

It most definately is because of this value in gameplay constants:

Combat - Call for help range, creeps

defaults to 600, which is roughly equivalent to what you drew, and so the troll in the middle shits his pants and calls for aid, and since the troll is closer(presumably), he will come to help.

edit: I tested this same setup, and the creep did not come for help(since he is quite considerably outside of the range), so something is setup on your map probably

THANK YOU!

This value has been haunting my dreams haha.

Didn't think of looking in the game-play constants.

EDIT: Although it doesn't seem to change anything in-game, will have a play with this some more.
EDIT2: Dunno if it was me saving and reopening the map or that a value lower than 1 doesn't change it.

It could also be that they're close enough to each other to count as a single creep "camp", do you see one or two neutral camp balls on the minimap when you don't have vision on them?

This value should also be found in the gameplay constants.
