We aren't spamming. And i don't think its arguing...just a discussion. It seems as you answered all questions. But i would like to know how you can ORDER the larvae around as minigame east thinks you can.

If you read this post carefully, you will see that you can.
Now I'm positive this is solved

There's a bit too much spamming going on around here... please try not to argue too much, this is supposed to be an assistance thread, not a hindrance thread.
I tested a few things. Check this out:[attachmentid=14986] (Sorry about the shoddiness :S Ignore the 'map description').
Addendum:
Remember, however, that AI scripts don't do anything for human players, so the above points don't all apply to human-owned larvae.

- Preplaced larvae on real creep stay alive.
- Preplaced larvae on terrain creep stay alive.
- Preplaced larvae on non-creep normal terrain die immediately at the beginning of the game.
- You can't use an "order" action on larvae.
- You can use a "move unit" action on larvae to move them off creep. They won't die.
- Larvae that are moved from a hatchery go back to where they came from.
- You can use "Run AI Script at Location: 'Set unit order to: Junk Yard Dog'" on larvae.
- Larvae on Junk Yard Dog can go off creep and will not return to the hatchery they were moved from.
- You can use "Run AI Script at Location: 'Make these units patrol'" in conjunction with "Run AI Script at Location: 'Set Generic Command Point'" to effectively make a patrol order for larvae.
- Patrolling larvae can go off creep and will not return to the hatchery they were moved from.
- If you play the map for a little while, you will discover that the hatchery whose larvae I am making patrol doesn't stop making the larvae but continues creating larvae ad infinitum. It appears that larvae are 'disowned' when an AI script is used on them.
