[General] About sharing units

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Hi guys. I'm making a RPG map. I want to allow the players to click on the Hero in the Hero Selection Area, then if they want, they can click on the Hero Skill icon (the red plus) to view the skills of that hero. But that's all they can do, they cannot use that hero, move that hero or level up the skill. It looks like sharing units but u cannot control that unit but can view its skill . Hope u guys can understand. If u have any questions about my problems, just ask and I'll reply politely .
Note that the sample Hero in Hero Selection Area belongs to Neutral Passive and they are also the unit-type of the real Hero.

Check if the unit is in the sample hero group, then change ownership of unit.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

If I change the ownership of the unit, then the player will have full control of them. I dont want that. I just want them to be able to view the hero's ability.

 

[neo_sluf]

how about making the..

Player Y make Player X treat?.. allied and share unit?.. but not full share

 

[Dawn]

Since it's just for a hero selection, you can create a dummy unit based on circle of power with the hero's model, then create a spellbook that contains dummy abilities of the original hero abilities. You can set the ownership of the dummy unit to the selecting player so that they can view the spellbook.

Well, that's how I would do it.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Not very effective though. I'll try neo_sluf method and will reply later after testing .

 

[neo_sluf]

try this..

make the player of owner of the hero to be full share by other players..

But you want that other players can only see the abilities right?..

then disable attack and movementspeed of the hero. It will work..

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Does not work . I remember there was something like this on the other's map but cant remember its name ==.

 

[Xonok]

Make the heroes sell dummy items. Since items on sale are visible, then it should work.

 

[SA Dashie]

Here are just a thew random ideas.

Try giving the abilities techtree requirements, give the units invulnerability(so the can't attack each other) and make them have no movement speed(via triggerz).

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Why do we have to use timer? I think we just need to order it to stop .
EDIT: That's idea is the best . Thks poke .

 

[pOke]

Does it actually work without a timer? Man.. I'm good at making unnecessary junk.

Edit: IF You have Enemies next to these units (player 1 picks unit right next to a unit player 2 picked and they are enemies they will turn to attack each other because it can't catch automatic agro, you can either Cargo Ability them or perma silence attacks, Whatever you like.)

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Since the units belongs to neutral passive and all the player are neutral to each other, I think that wont be necessary.

 

[Vinz]

Just remove the move ability
call UnitRemoveAbility(which unit, 'Amov')
And the attack
call UnitRemoveAbility(which unit, 'Aatk')

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Well, I'l' testing both method . Thks for helping. Will tell the result later.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Well, it's work . Combine both Wrathion and pOke ideas and bang!! It's work perfectly .
P/S: Need to spread rep . Own u guys this time .
