[Trigger] Mercenary Type Units

[skull09]

i have an AI, that controls some footmen and some priests, and 2 heros
the ai walks around killing creeps and doing whatever
what i'm trying to do is make it so that players can purchase the units owned by the AI via the unit they want to purchase
this all works except the "select hero" ability also allows the person to cause the unit to use spells =/

is there any way to limit "select hero" to ONLY purchasables?
or is there anything else i can do?

Changing targets allowed?

changing targets wouldn't do anything, i think
i already have the unit that u purchase from the unit costing food, all it does basicly is give u control of the unit u bought from

Simply eithor make it a chat command like -buy that buys the unit or give the player an ability called buy that buys the target unit. Both are easy to make and although they might not be like you wish, they will still work.

i personally hate all of those typing commands, is there any other way?
the game does bring up a menu when u press the esc key, perhaps i should have a dialog button called "Hire selected units"
