Uncontrollable, Selectable?

[Vinz]

Is there a way to make a unit uncontrollable by a player, but selectable by everyone? The UI is hidden, and it doesn't take un-triggered commands (unlike wards).

 

[WarCortez]

What exactly do you want with this unit? Because neutral passives are uncontrollable, but selectable.

 

[Bannar]

Elaborate the topic. Neutral units seem to have both of such features.

If player slots isn't an issue, you can make a "ghost" player - a computer, copy of the owner of the unit. This player would have the same player colour, name, alliance, vision.

You'll need a proxy unit (a unit you own) to relay commands through them though.

 

[Vinz]

The player slot has to be used by a player, so it needs to be uncontrollable by such player. And has to be allied to such player's team. It can't be a ghost player, the map has to use all 12 slots as playable.

I don't believe Neutral Passives can be allied?

 

[chobibo]

IIRC, there are 15 players right? Try using the rescuable player.

 

[WarCortez]

Neutral passive can be allied by trigger, no? Set it to be ally with the player, shared vision or not.

 

[Bannar]

You can provide vision of given unit to certain amount of players via script. I'm still thinking that neutral owner fits best for a selectable/uncontrolable unit

 

[Vinz]

I see, though I remember seeing a note that 'Neutral Players can't share vision', which intimidated me.

 

[WarCortez]

If it's only a single unit, you can use visibility trigger on it's location. But I don't think that it's not possible share vision with neutrals, as they can set with player properties like any players.

False.

Here is how to do it:
Action - Player - Set Alliance:
Make player <Anyone (Player)> treat <Anyone (Player)> as an <Option>

Options:
Ally with shared vision, Enemy with shared vision, Neutral with shared vision.
Enemy, Ally, Neutral.
Ally with shared vision and shared units, ally with shared vision and full shared units.

Anyone (Players):
Player 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, Neutral Victim, Neutral Passive, Neutral Hostile, Neutral Extra.

This is what I was talking about:native UnitShareVision takes unit whichUnit, player whichPlayer, boolean share returns nothing

You don't really need to play in "alliance-state"-script game. ^)^

 

[sethmachine]

Is that how shared vision works--i.e. setting a flag on an shared vision players' units (e.g. P1 has shared vision of P2, so all of P2's units have a flag set to true for sharing vision with P1). Or does Blizzard do something else?

Castle Fight type maps have that system.
