You can make units with invisibility and ally them only to the player you want to have them see, and when you want them to see the unit or graphic.

yeah but i want it so red can only click the units he can see blue can only click the units he can see and so on so forth, would realy like doodads tho.

Can you use local player for special effects? I remeber reading that you could somewhere, then again, i read alot of things.

Yes you can. It think it is like this:

• Custom script: if IsUnitAlly(GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocalPlayer()) then
  • -------- Actions Here --------
  • Custom script: endif

This shows the actions for owner of triggering unit and allies.

i dont want his allys 2 see it tho
just him so like red can only see things that are for red
blue can only see... bla bla bla

Local player shouldn't be used in GUI.
If you still insist:

• Actions
  • Customscript: if GetLocalPlayer() == *Some Player* then
  • ----- Do not create anything bewteen the above and below custom script.
  • Customscript: endif

Note the comment. I'm very very serious, you'll create desyncs if you create something for only the local player.
