Hero Selection

[Maka]

Hello i want to ask something with hero selecting units, heroes that are behind circle of power, i dont want to have control of them only to see their spells when playing game. I tried to share view but it shares me control and everything. What to do?

You have two options, the simple is using other way to show the spells, like a text in the screen, and the complex is creating dummies for each hero with the totem classification (I don't know if is an ability or a classification) and they have dummy spells that only have the same description of your spells.

I attached a map with a working system. The map requires the latest patch to open.

How to do it yourself:
Copy and paste the Shop Sharing ability and modify it's fields so that it doesn't have a Select User button or any visual effects.
Then give this ability to the selection Heroes and make sure that they're Allied with you.

Lastly, you can Disable these units using a special function available in version 1.31+. This may not even be necessary:

• Shared Control Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet SharedUnit = Archmage 0010 <gen>
    • Custom script: call BlzPauseUnitEx(udg_SharedUnit, true)
    • Set VariableSet SharedUnit = Paladin 0005 <gen>
    • Custom script: call BlzPauseUnitEx(udg_SharedUnit, true)

If you can't or don't want to do that, you can Set the hero's Skill Points to 0 so they can't spend any:

• Hero - Modify unspent skill points of SharedUnit: Set to 0 points

The end result is a selectable Hero that can open it's Hero Skill menu but can't select any skill or take any other actions.
