Make player lose control

[envenger]

Hi guys...

Is there a way in which a unit can be temporarily made out of player control. So that it cannot be moved by the player or used by it? I am thinking of a way other than pausing the unit.

Pausing the unit can work but I am thinking of another way. Giving cargo stops its attacks but it doesn't stop spell casting. Giving silence can work but it want to duration to be dynamic. And how to stop it form moving too?

You can change the owner of the unit and change the color at the same time to make it appear like the unit is still under the player's control. ;p

if the player u change it to is hostile it will attack that players units.

add the locust ability

That just makes it so it can't be selected.
It can still be issued orders by other means.

nope. since the unit is untargetable you cant give orders manually. you cann still order with triggers tho

If I remove locust, then I heard it will have some unwanted results.

ya when u remove locust there are some stupid bugs.
he just wants a temp unit lose control thing.

the other thing u can try is order it periodically to do wat u want after changing its owner. u may also be able to change it to neutral passive and not have a problem

Use either this library or Maker's technique.

Just change the player controlling it to Neutral and after some durations turn it back to the player who is in originally controlling it.
