Okay, so I work on Tropical Tag and I have a question regarding illusions. Basically, I have a spell that when cast on a unit, it creates an illusion of that unit. However, the ownership belongs to the caster, so you see the name plate over it's head, allowing the enemy to easily differentiate which one is real. Is there a way I can make the unit appear to belong to the targeted unit, but be controlled by the casting unit?

I don't know of a way to make a nameplate not appear above a unit, if that unit belongs to one of the player slots that shows nameplates.

My current idea is really complicated. It basically shares control of units, but immediately de-selects any unit that isn't supposed to be under their control.

This wont work, selection event have 0.250 delay.

To 100% sure prevent selection of unexpected units you shoud clear selection of player of unexpected units by timer (0.03125 or less)
