AI for guards?

AI for guards?

Hi all. I was just wondering if it was possible to make AI for a specific bunch of units. For example, in my map, a hero can hire 4 body guards. The guards follow him around, defend him and retreat as and when they need to. But the guards arent supposed to be controlled by the player who bought them. Kinda like guards who think by themselves. Is it possible

You can make this easier by triggering.

Player buys a Bodyguard -> Trigger - Enable GuardTrigger -> Remove buying Unit from game -> Create 1 Bodyguard for player 12 -> Treat Player 12 Ally with Owner of buying Unit -> Add last created Unit to UnitGroup Guards

GuardTrigger: PeriodicTime - Every 5 seconds -> UnitGroup - pick every unit in Guards and order picked unit to follow heroP1

Just a suggestion... Not a real solution for an ai but still something.
