Multiple Players Control Heroes

[ketchupking]

How do I give control of a single specific hero to multiple players? The players that require control of it are all allies. I also need to do the same thing to a building.

I'm not sure if that is possible. Perhaps someone else here might know how to do it.

Sorry.

possibly set a player that you're not using to be allies with shared unit control with all the players who will be real players, then just put the type of units you want multiple people to control in the control of the dummy player

This is easy. Just go to player properties under 'Scenario'. You will find, under forces, that there will be a button called "Share Unit Control". Click that box!

 

[DTemplar45]

Adjl's idea works better I guess... So pretend I didn't say anything

or

ingame you can click on allies and check in the "Share Units" box and volla

^not to be ment as an insult^

No, it's best to do what adjl said and then lock team control so people can't decide not to take control or anything like that.

yeah, just sharing all unit control could lead to serious conflict among players when one player decides to become completely psychotic and run all someone else's units into a gauntlet
besides, it was specified to have unit control of "heroes", not all units.

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) Selects a unit
        Player - Player 3 (Teal) Selects a unit
        Ect
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Paladin
    Actions
        Selection - Remove (Triggering unit) from selection

Use that to prevent control of other units.

Thanks!

1. wouldn't u use (selected unit)?

2. yeah, that should work pretty well. there's still a fraction of a second after you select it while it processes the trigger where the unit COULD use the unit, but that's acceptable

depending on the situation in the map, one method could be better than another

There is no such function as (selected unit), you must use triggering unit.

2. yeah, that should work pretty well. there's still a fraction of a second after you select it while it processes the trigger where the unit COULD use the unit, but that's acceptable

It would be pretty much instant, so the player wouldn't be able to use the unit.
