Uncontrollable Units

Immoralis	How do you make units that are owned by the player but are controlled by a basic AI to cast spells that you designated and function basically like another players unit? Basically the units in castle fight if you are familiar with that.

Anitarf	The only way I know of involves making the units unselectable (but not unkillable like the locust ability does), tell us if that's ok.

BestZero	AFAIK, Overwriting the unit's given command is the best way we can do. Whenever they are given a command from player, assign a new command to it. Castle Fight also uses this method.

Immoralis	Unselectable is undesireable I tried to overide the orders by doing Event: Issued order a target point Action: Order unit to stop however that doesnt work so I added a wait 0.01 second before the stop but then mass clicking will cause it to move. Also an infinte loop happens if I do this Unit is issued target unit. =/

BestZero	I'm pretty sure you don't need the use of wait as I have tried it before and it worked fine. For the infinite loop problem, just disable the trigger and enable it after the issue unit function or try adding filter(condition) to it so that the event won't fire the trigger infinity times.

Code:

NO Right Click
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    Conditions
        (Triggering unit) Equal to Peasant 0002 <gen>
    Actions
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
        Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

Yea this doesnt work :(

fX_	you need to pause-stop-unpause the unit i think. JASS: set (boolean) unitIsPaused = IsUnitPaused(myUnit) call PauseUnit(myUnit, true) call IssueImmediateOrder(myUnit, "stop") call PauseUnit(myUnit, unitIsPaused) or something like that

BestZero	Tried it, it really didn't work. Well if you can use JASS, using single timer with 0.00 may be the solution for this. I don't think there is a way that GUI can handle this (with MUI, of course) because basically the event fires before a unit actually takes the order so wait is no go.

Trigger:

Ordered

Event

Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object

Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point

Unit - A unit Is issued an order without a target

Condition

(Issued order) Is (Order(smart))

(Triggering unit) Equal to Peasant 0002 <gen>

Actions

Unitgroup - Add (Triggering unit) to Ordered

Trigger - Turn on Stop <gen>

Trigger:

Stop

Event

Zeit - Every 0.03 seconds of game time

Conditions

Actions

Unitgroup - Pick every unit in Ordered and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Stoppen

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

'IF'-Bedingungen

(Current order of (Picked unit)) Is (Order(stop))

'THEN'-Aktionen

Unitgroup - Remove (Picked unit) from Ordered

'ELSE'-Aktionen

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

'IF'-Bedingungen

(Number of units in Ordered) Is 0

'THEN'-Aktionen

Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

'ELSE'-Aktionen

Give the uncontrolable units the ward classification, so people can only order them "smart" (or make the Stop trigger deactivate the Order trigger while ordering "stop")

Jass solution would be better though
