NEED HELP! With units!

[Quack_Kills.]

Ok! I'm making a game called: "Elemental Battlefield" and everyone who played the prequel (Water and Fire) wants me to make the units autosend to the enemy (A lot like Castle Fight).
So I want the player to be able to select the unit and look at its stats but no be able to command it! Any help would be appreciated

Like with
Unit - Pause Unit
That was you can view attack, hit points, mana points, and attributes, but not be able to move it.

Actually, I want it to stay moving, but the player not be able to order it to do anything <.<

 

[donut3.5]

Oh. You can give it to a dummy computer player then, meaning a player slot that isn't being used but can be used for non-player commands.

Change the ownership of the unit to neutral passive, then switch back to the proper player, not a very good solution, but the only thing I can think of now. Do you want it to stop and fight things it comes in contact with?

 

[Quack_Kills.]

ehhh, I kinda want it to be able for the player to make it cast spells.... Like Castle Fight...

And yes, i can make its "Attack-Move"

 

[Just_Spectating]

um, if the computer has shared unit with a player, you can see the stats, but for the controlling part, thers an action that removes a certain ability for a player to use

 

[Quack_Kills.]

no, I don't want Locust, i want the unit to be the player's unit, but i don't want him to control it.... hm, this might take JASS?

 

[Need_O2]

ah sorry you mean like creeps in dota yes make a dummy computer in your team and make unit change owner to that dummy computer when sold then order attack-move

 

[Anachron]

No he meant like in castle fight, you can select it like it is your own but still you cant see abilities and move it.

I think you should share unit control?!.. thats the way I think he made it!

Edit:

• call SetUserControlForceOn( GetPlayersAll() )

I think this lets him share unit control.

 

[Need_O2]

Well sorry I dont know castle fight
but I got you ye good option

 

[PurplePoot]

Detect when the unit is issued any order, and issue it instead to do whatever it was doing before (attacking whoever's base)

 

[Anachron]

Nope, thats not the thing he wnated to have, visit: gex.eeve.org and download castle fight. THen you see what he meant as shared non controlable unit control!

 

[PurplePoot]

I just played it, and it's exactly what I said.

Castle Fight does this;

-Adds Ward classification to their command card

-makes a trigger that probably looks something like;

• Reassign
  • Events
    • Unit - A Unit Is Issued an Order Targeting a Point
    • Unit - A Unit is Issued an Order Targeting a Unit
    • Unit - A Unit is Issued an Order with No Target
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering Unit is a Ward) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Center of CastleBases[(Custom Value of (Triggering Unit))])
    • Trigger - Turn Off (This Trigger)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering Unit) to Attack-move to TempPoint
    • Trigger - Turn On (This Trigger)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

-TempPoint is a Point variable
-CastleBases is a Region array, with slots set to all the regions (eg; 0 = left base, 1 = right base)
-The unit's custom value should be set to the array slot of the region they're ordered to go to

errr, first of all, I couldn't find the boolean comparison for Unit is a Ward. Secondly, the Castlebases thing, I don't get.
Thirdly, both sides have the same choice of races, that means theses guys will have the same point value... How can I get them to go to the opposite side if they have the same point vaue?
