Creep camp minimap icon

How can I make a certain creep not have a creep camp icon on the minimap? I am using them as a dummy caster: when units enter a certain area, they get slowed (caster casts spell on them), and I don't want to see this random icon in the corner of the map . If there isn't a way to disable a certain creep's icon (I still want other creep camp icons on minimap), could I say give the dummy caster to a player, and make them have 0 light radius or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

don't think there is a setting like that, either create it for neutral passive or do what you said with 0 sight

I tried neutral passive, but it didn't cast the ability when I ordered it to (perhaps neutral passive opposed to violence and refuses, lol). Ill go with the 0 sight radius thing. Thanks.

My suggestion would be to have the caster be Neutral Extra or a player slot you're not using. That way it won't create an icon.

Also, if it's a caster, it's quite possible that giving it the Locust ability (which is a good idea anyway) will prevent it from showing up on the minimap.

I did give it the locust ability, which did not prevent it from showing on the minimap. Ill try making it Neutral Extra, ty.

is it a hero? othervise it should be hidden by locust, or at least so I thought. there are a few settings in the object editor, Stats - Hide minimap display and if it's a hero (for whatever reason) Stats - Hero - Hide blah/bleh/bluh
