How to use an allied unit's spells?

[daverave1212]

It's the system in some RPG maps out there.
Basically you use an allied unit's spell to get a quest. Is that what happens? Or do they use dummy units?

Force Properties -> Shared allied units control

that's what you need?

Aren't they using items instead of spells?

that's unlikely because if a hero has full build he won't be able to buy items thus he won't be able to accept quests.

If you make the items powerups (copy paste a manual of health and change the health it gives to 0), you can buy them with a full inventory and they will just disappear. If you change the item model to "Spawned Effect -> bugger", it will have no animation at all and will not make the poof. Remove the animation for the health bonus ability and it will be completely invisible to the player.

You can still capture this event in the triggers with "Unit - A unit obtains an item" (or whatever that specific event is called).

Actually they are units in many cases.

Dummy shops selling units are far easier to handle than dummy shops selling items, as units will not fire any item pickup events and don't care about inventory.

Also, unit shops allow access to all three resources instead of just gold and lumber, so more freedom.
