The best way to do this is to use the invisible target addon.     If you don't want to do that then you can get him to target objects in the base.   Or setPos objects just below ground and get him to target those.   He won't target a gamelogic.

I think this is a myth. Maybe worked in 1.0 or something.

The only thing invisible Hs are good at is helping choppers land.
