Unselectable for a period of time

[Hoops]

So..

How do I make it so a unit becomes unselectable (locust) for a period of time, then turns back to normal?

To add the ability:

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(Unit, 'Aloc')

This will add the locust ability to a unit.
"Unit" should be the unit you want to give locust (e.g.: if you set that unit to a variable called "LocUnit", it should be "call UnitAddAbility(udg_LocUnit, 'Aloc')").

Unfortunately, the function "call UnitRemoveAbility" doesn't work for locust.
So in that case, I recommend you to re-create the unit completely (remove the locusted unit and create a completely similar unit at the exact location, with the exact stats etc).
Hold on, I'll create a function for that (the unit's a hero, right?)

Apparently you can undo locust. Or atleast mostly undo. It involves a whole array of changes like using chaos, hiding/unhiding, morphing etc but I remember someone mentioning about a possibility.

Yeah, you can undo the changes Locust makes.

*Remove Locust from the unit
*Hide then unhide
*Use Metamorphosis

• Remove Locust
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: Locust Added
    • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility( udg_u , 'Aloc' )
    • Wait 4.00 seconds
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: Removing Locust
    • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility( udg_u , 'Aloc' )
    • Unit - Hide u
    • Unit - Unhide u
    • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility( udg_u , 'A000' )
    • Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrder( udg_u , "metamorphosis" )
