Uncontrollable summoned unit

[Mechcash]

So I made this

Basically I wanted to summon a unit, which is NON-controllable, but still allied with the owner of the summoned unit, while being hostile towards every other player.
My trigger doens't work, it was an idea, but sadly it doesn't function. Now I'm looking for help :x
Thanks

'Unit - A unit Spawns a summoned unit' only works with abilities that spawn units on death such as Spawn Hydra and Spawn Spiders.

You should use 'Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)' instead.

I don't think the Player Alliance needs to be set every time a unit is summoned; you could move it to the Map initialization trigger.

You should make the owner of the summoned unit (entering unit if you change the event) treat Player 23 as an ally, as well as the other way around.

That's how it looks now. Still doesn't work tho :/ The summoned unit is still hostile towards the player and the other way around , weird...

You need to set player alliance first and then change unit ownership. I have no idea why, but it works if you do it like that.

you can do it in another way:

• Event
  • -a unit is selected
  • -a unit is added to selection
• Conditions:
  • or/any of these conditions
    • -unit type of selected unit is water elemental
    • -unit type of selected unit is spirit wolf
• Actions
  • remove (selected unit) from player Selection

Though Im not sure if this is better than the one you already use

That just makes the unit unselectable, which is quite different than being uncontrollable. For example, you might want to be able to select the unit, but not just able to order it around.

function UnitDisableControl takes unit u boolean flag returns nothing
        //toggles whether a unit responds to player commands on or off. Can still respond to trigger commands.

Coming soon™
