Hero Swapping Command in DotA

[Finestdeath]

I was just wondering how does the -swap command in DotA works. Basically, when you type -swap, a list of possible heroes to swap with (heroes being used by players) is displayed. And when you type -swapx (x being the player number) and the other player accepts your swap request, your heroes instantly swaps with each other. Also, the items get transfered to the newly swapped hero. How would I go about doing it?

Just adding, minor but might be a difference, it's actually -swap X (X is not actually the player number, Blue is 1, Teal is 2, Purple is 3, Yellow is 4 and Orange is 5, whereas Pink is also 1, Gray is 2, Light Blue is 3 and so on, since it's 5 players per team, and the X actually stands for the player number of the team).

Basically, when both of the players agree on the swap, you change control of the heroes and drop the items, then give the items to the new hero.

its easy to do it.. just need alot time to do that... during map init you need to create 2 playergroups (one for each team)... and remove players from the group when someone leaves... then make a trigger so when a player types in -swap or -swap # it does changes alliance, transports all of heros' belonging to other base and again add/remove the player to each respective playergroup...

Not the switch command, but the swap one (changes heroes, not the player -- for example swaps Rogue Knight, Blue to Phantom Assassin, Purple, not swapping Blue to Grey). So it's much more simple than the switch command is.

Change owner line and pick every item in slot 1/2/3/4/5/6 and give to <new hero>.

Woah, you just revived an old thread. Anyway, I already figured out how to do that based on the replies (and abit of thinking )
