Neutral unit visible abilities

[A Void]

Is there a way to see abilities from uncontrollable, neutral units? Or even use abilities? Like observer?

I haven't tested it out, but when I had the shop sharing ability on an allied building, it was showing the icons for other abilities on that unit. I had to hide the icons. I didn't test if active abilities could be used, but it may be worth trying out.

Active abilities also work for nearby unit, but there is no way to test for the target of Shop Sharing/Select Hero/Select Unit via triggers, AND the target may be able to control the natural unit and order it to move around, attack, etc.

Woah this gives me some cool ideas. Could make units that are only controllable if you have a unit nearby, lol. Good to know though.

It doesn't seem to work, I've given a neutral unit Shop Sharing ability via triggers and placed one of my units nearby. It does nothing? Maybe it only works for buildings?

Edit: k, figured it out (they have to be allies). Thank you. +rep.
