[Spell] possesion ability target problem

[Lodrak]

I cant seem to make the banshes ability possesion target allied computer or friends no mather how I try to change its target in object editorn.
why doesnt it work? keeps getting the message "unable to target friendly unit"

specifically I want a ability to take over a unit which is a non enemy and then another ability to give back the unit and get back the unit I used to take over the unit.

I guess it is a hard-coded ability, kinda like Holy Light and Death Coil. Why don't you just trigger the entire thing instead? Your second ability won't function properly without the first being triggered.

Just use the Unit - Change Owner and a timer..

Use Channel ability as your based ability with the Targets Allowed - Ground,Air,Friend

Event - Unit Starts the effect of an ability

Condition - Ability being cast equal to (Possession (your ability))

Then

Set Unit X - Casting Unit
Set Unit Y - Target Unit of ability being cast
Unit - Change owner of Unit Y to the owner of Unit X
Remove Unit X from the game (this is optional, if you want the caster to be gone like banshee's possession)


You can use this in any means of owning a unit like banshee's possession ability.
