Showing all of a player's allies hero's portraits

[Tiaan]

I was wondering if this was possible; I'm making a map with 5 heroes on each team with one healer on each team. I was wondering if it was possible to have it so that the players have the portraits of their fellow heroes on the side (as if they were granted control of those units) without actually being given control.

I have considered the option of making a dummy hero and having it select the lowest current health target when clicked, but before I jump to that I was wondering if my previous method was possible.

+ rep to anyone who can help me with this

You could give control however make it so when other players select the unit it auto unselects, maybe a board would be easier ? But dummy would work.

You could create a dummy unit for every ally of the player, and give it locust. That way the icon shows up but nothing happens when it's clicked.

Then link the units with hashtables to update skill points/health/mana.

I actually figured this out last night.

What you have to do is through alliance aspects, turn on Full Share Units for every player then turn off Share Units. It will then allow you to have the other hero's portraits on your screen without being able to control them.

Thanks to everyone who helped out though
