How to see abilities of units that aren't yours?

I remember there was a simple trick, but I can't remember what it is...

When I click a unit I want to be able to see their abilities (from memory I think they show as disabled) even if it's not my unit.

Anyone happen to remember?

Nope.

I'd be kinda interested in that, actually.

I figured it out, it was pretty simple after all.

The only vanila units that can reproduce similar behaviour are neutral buildings. The only ones that do it without having UI buttons are the ones that use the 'select unit' ability.

Simply modifying the ability to have 0 range and no spell effects was enough. When you click on the unit now you can see what abilities it has, they don't even show up as disabled! Just remember to disable spellbooks for NPC players or they will show up too!

Way cool!
