Making units forget where they came from

Most of you are probably aware of the fact that units like to get as close as possible to the spot they were created. I'm wondering if there is some way to make units forget this spot and just hang out where they're moved/ordered/whatever. Is there some way without using EUDs or anything, to sort of over write the actual coordinates of the spot they were created? so they behave more like hero units and just attack whatever comes close until its dead.



None.

An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death

This is an AI behavior, and affecting AI is very limited. From my understanding, the behavior is caused by the last order position they're given (which in the case of creation is where they are created). Centering a location on them and ordering them to patrol at the location regularly should update their order position while maintaining aggressive behavior, though it may cause attack interruptions.

(Heroes don't have this behavior because they don't have any of the built-in AI stuff that regular units have.)

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
