I am trying to get this to work however the only way I can get the units to ignore there guard positions is to set the Gameplay constants...

Then why dont you do that?

botanic	because I also have neutral creeps and that causes them to chase you all over the map

Earth-Fury	So write a custom creep camping AI. Check their position every 1 secont, and if its too far from their camp location, order them to move back to it.

That works, but there are a myriad of ways to exploit that. One of which being that one could stand just outside of their camp radius with a ranged hero and camp them.

Make a region for each creep camp. Use the unit leaves region event to order the creeps back to their spawn site when they move out of the region.

If you're worried about people abusing this you could make two regions for each camp. One big one and one small one. When a creep leaves the big one give it invulnerability and order it to move back to the spawn site. When it enters the little region, remove the invulnerability.

True, but one could always make it much more complex. For example, have the creeps attack someone if they are being attacked. Maybe even institute camp groups so when one member of the camp is attacked, they all try to help out.

But just a basic "if im being attacked, attack back" wouldnt be that hard to add to such a system.
