Targetable but controllable by player.

I want to have a unit owned by lets say player 1 he can't command the unit to do anything, but you can target the unit normaly...

I found this amongs my own posts...

"Unselectable but vulnerable:
Custom Script : call UnitAddAbility( unit, 'Aloc')
Custom Script : call UnitRemoveAbility( unit, 'Aloc')

Unselectable, vulnerable and targetteable:
Custom Script : call UnitAddAbility( unit, 'Aloc')
Unit- Add (Chaos morph) to (unit)

** Chaos morph is a chaos based spell that has no tech requirements and morphs the unit to the same unit."

I used Chaos Grom, and removed all techtree and seted the spell to the footmen, cus I was told that would bug the locust, but it dosnt work... help!

TheWye	what if you pause the unit? Does it work this way? Its targetable but not controllable. And try searching for Vex's independent summon system. Maybe that will help?

Pinzu	ok,

Anitarf	In my experience, you have to morph it to a different unit with chaos for that trick to work, at least, that's how I got it to work in my Glacial Wall spell. Edit: also, I added the locust ability to the unit after chaos-morphing it, not before. Edit2: I realize now I likely could have just paused the unit.

Hmm... I added it before morphing; I also morphed the unit into itself.

JASS:

    call UnitAddAbility(U2, 'Aloc')
    call UnitAddAbility(U2, TF_Chaos_Ability_Id())
    call AttachObject(U2, "TF Past Self", U)
    call TF_Hero_Set(U, U2)
    call GroupAddUnit(G, U2)
    call AttachObject(U, "TF Future Self", U2)

Also, try adding the 'Ward' classification; I know it removes the command card, but I'm not sure about whether or not that actually prevents the unit from being ordered.

You would need to block the "smart" order, too. With AbortOrder, this is much much much easier.

Pinzu	with ward thing, you can still move them, by pressing the target ground or enemy. so, I make it a ward, and block all orders given by the owning player, how do I differ from the "AI" orders and the players order? I will soon start testing your stuff.

JASS:

    
    call UnitAddAbility(U2, 'Aloc') 
    call UnitAddAbility(U2, TF_Chaos_Ability_Id()) 

//whats the "TF_Chaos_Ability_Id"? a pre-set variable cus I am just implenting customscripts
//into gui, yes, im that kind of newbie ;)

    call AttachObject(U2, "TF Past Self", U)
    call AttachObject(U, "TF Future Self", U2)

Pinzu	Im sure and Im even gonna try by giving a shadow hunter: serpent ward movment speed. - you could move them. /... and I ment by right-clicking.

Pyrogasm	That was just the example code from my Temporal Fluxuation spell. TF_Chaos_AbilityId is a function at the top of the script, which I linked too.
