How to control a different force's units.

Solved: Thank you all for the help.

Easy enough.
- 1st way: Under "Scenario" on the editor, go to the "Force Properties" tab, and tick off "Share Unit Control" with both those players in the same force.
- 2nd way: With triggers, you could do something like this:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Make Player 1 (Red) treat Player 2 (Blue) as an Ally with shared vision and full shared units
    • Player - Make Player 2 (Blue) treat Player 1 (Red) as an Ally with shared vision and full shared units

You can change the event to be whatever suits your needs. "Map Initialization" means this happens once at the start.

As Wark says, but for this particular scenario:

Say Player 1 is the player;
Player 2 is the humans
Player 3 is the undead.

• control
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Make Player 2 (Red) treat Player 1 (Blue) as an Ally with shared vision and full shared units
    • Player - Make Player 3 (Teal) treat Player 1 (Red) as an Ally with shared vision and full shared units

It should make both of their units controllable, and if you set the Player Forces correctly, they will still attack each other.

The above actions will probably make you ally the players and so they will not be hostile correctly.

One needs to explicitly only enable the vision, partial control and full control flags from the players towards you. This will mean you can still treat them as enemies and they will sill treat you as an enemy. Very useful for testing. Might require JASS to perform as the GUI action is not flexible enough for the below reason.

function SetPlayerAllianceStateBJ takes player sourcePlayer, player otherPlayer, integer allianceState returns nothing
    // Prevent players from attempting to ally with themselves.
    if (sourcePlayer == otherPlayer) then
        return
    endif

    if allianceState == bj_ALLIANCE_UNALLIED then
        call SetPlayerAllianceStateAllyBJ(        sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, false )
        call SetPlayerAllianceStateVisionBJ(      sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, false )
