Unit control question

I have a unit x that i want a player to own but not be able to move.
Is this possible?
Ive tried with if player selects unit x clear selection but thats too slow.
Responding to order events aint good since the unit get orders from triggers.
Should i make the unit neutral or something like that?
Then the problems is that i have 6 players that all own units of type x.

You could base the unit on a building or something, or just change its move speed to 0.

There's a channel command in TFT that does what you want. Just wait a few more days.

Would PAUSING the unit do what u want? Or do u still want the unit to be able to move? Just the player himself cant do it?

Well the unit will walk around on its own so pausing it wont be an option.

We cant find it. What exactly is a channel command anyway? We looked in every menu/function we could think of and cant find it.

Ok if we cant get it to work we will post or send you the system we made. Its not 100% perfect but it works. You cant control the units but its a little messy and we think there is a minor bug that its causing. Might be able to remove the bug and still have it work. Have to do some more testing.

We cant test right now since we are away from home and are on a old laptop. We will get back home next week.

Ok. But ive solved my problem by using the tft feature with every unit having a custom value that u can store things in. So i stored the owner of the unit in there and set the owner the units to player 7. I also changed the team color to match the owner.
