Unit for a player, but uncontrollable.

How to make an unit for a player, but uncontrollable for it ? I mean, I'm creating a spell that passively creates zombies when any other enemy HERO is near, but zombies must be uncontrollable, just like Dota's Tombstone zombies.

You could do it with locust:

Aloc (Locust): A unit that is given locust becomes unselectable, untargetable and ignores any pathing limitations, it won't show a life bar over its head too.

But it may be killed ?

Add the "ward" classification to the unit. This hides the unit's command card and abilities.
Then create a trigger with

events: "a unit is issued a target order", "a unit is issued an immediate order", "a unit is issued an order targetting a point"

conditions: unit type = zombie and issued order = smart

action: issue order "stop".


You can still select the units and they are still your units, but you can't control them anymore. You can still give them orders via triggers, to create f.ex. a custom AI for those units.
