Need help reproducing this bug...

Hey everyone.
A couple months ago I came across a weird bug, that I dismissed because it had no use for me at the time. However, now I found a use for it and would like some help on how to produce it again. I don't remember the exact steps, but maybe some other people could help me out.

The bug involved giving control of a player with a hero to another player, and then take that control away right after. When this is done, the hero icon appears in the other players screen, but they cannot select that hero.

In my dungeon-crawler map, it would be very benficial if you could see the hitpoints and mana points of other heroes on your team, but without being able to directly control them or use them.

So if anyone has any advice on how to reproduce it, and if anyone has even stumbled across it as well, please let me know.

On a side note, I never tested this, but would you be able to cast Holy Light then click on the icon of the hero on your screen?

I know or what I remember is: If you set the heroes Day/Night sight to 0, and place them somewhere in the fog, you can't select the hero.

Try that ;)

Players MUST BE enemy to each other.

after this, you will have icon but wont have control.

Can they be set to enemies and then run the trigger? Because the units in my map start off as all allies.

They don't have to be enemies, you just need to use
call SetPlayerAlliance(sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, ALLIANCE_SHARED_ADVANCED_CONTROL, true)

if players ally you will see hero. (but still unable to control)

This method works excellently, except for 1 little problem. It will create the Team Resources multiboard, which I don't want.

Any fix?

hide all boards and display one you need.

can be done at any moment expect map init.

I fixed the issue with this:

call SetPlayerAlliance(p, loopPlr, ALLIANCE_SHARED_ADVANCED_CONTROL, true)
call DestroyMultiboardBJ( CreateMultiboardBJ(2,2,"TesT") )

Does it work with computers or only with slots controlled by an human player ?
Because i've failed to do this with a computer.

test it...

I don't have warcraft for the moment, so i will wait thehellman's answer.
I would give you some rep for you helpfulness here, but unfortunately i can't spread more yet.

it works in any case with all possible slot types.
