How to prevent engineer from self destroying?

I just added some mine hint nodes to my map and i ran into the problem that the Rebel engineer place a detonator pack at the node but it explode immediately. No problem with the units placing regular mines.
Any way to stop the engineer from suicide?

This has been discussed before and I think it has to do with adding something like: "TargetEnemy=1" in weapons odf. Not sure though, this isn't my sort of thing.

You're on the right track, Starkiller.

You can't make a seperate side, then, for this one unit? I suppose you could use SetClassProperty, then....

But that'll mess up mp.
@Rends: you can make a side based on another side -
so load the default alliance side first in your lua, and for your custom side have an engineer based on the stock ALL engineer (same way its based on the all_default_engineer), change the detpack weapon to the modified detpack, and load the "new" engineer after the stock engineer in your lua. You'll end up with a side thats probably a few kbs.
