How would I

[Parrothead]

How would I make it so I can select another players unit and be able to see and click there abilities, but I can't control anything else on the unit like how it moves?

you could create a dummy unit at the position of the original unit when its selected, with dummy abilities which trigger the unit to cast a spell

There has to be a simpler way though, I've seen it done in many games.

Example: In Island Defense, you can click other peoples things and see what they're training.

Maybe they made it so "share control" is on but somehow made it so you couldn't actually control the unit of other players through triggers.

Its as Newuser said.
Go under:
Advanced->Gameplay contestants->
Find something about Shared vision, and set
Shared players can controll units to False.

but can you use the abilities of the units then, don't think so, but thats what Parrothead wanted, or did i get that wrong?

No, thats right.


Another question to help with, I'm using the action

• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

and I'm trying to detect the player who did it, but the unit is controlled by a computer player that gives control to all of the players. I want to know how I can detect which player clicks that ability.

And also, how do I detect how many units a player has currently selected?
