Granting control over units

[Karzama]

Hi,

I just started a new map and I'm taking some ideas from CoD's Zombie mode and merging them into Warcraft.

However I've hit a stump with the barricades and doors. How I wanted to do it was that doors would be units that you basically upgrade into one with a different pathing and it then looks like it has opened. And with barricades they would get destroyed then turn into rubble (got that bit) then you can click on the rubble and upgrade it like normal.

However as I don't want vision over the whole map as different areas would be locked I'm not entirely sure how to get over this. I'm sure I could just make them all have an item/ability that costs gold then the gate/barricade would get replaced but I liked the idea of upgrades more.

Anyone got any ideas?

So you've got the shared control? If so go to triggers and you can set it so that they share control but not vision.

Have them owned by another player that isn't in the game
Give control(but not vision) of that player to the others

set vision of units to 0

Set vision of unit to 0, units that have 0 vision and are not in the fog of war cannot be remotely selected unless by control group. Then you can simply check if they are not visible to the allied team and if not abort order.

I have them allied without any control or vision. When I tried to add control it gave me the bar showing their resources and such. What do I need to adjust to get control without the resource bar?
