Taverns in DotA - only for certain players

Hello all, sorry to bother you with this, it's probably very simple but i can't figure it out...

So, when Dota starts, you can see the taverns of the enemy team and click
the hero icons, but when the Stock Replenish Interval is over (like 15 seconds),
enemy heroes disappear from taverns and you can only select your own faction
and Neutrals. So how do I do this?
I tried editing the "Select Unit" ability used by taverns so it has
"Targets Allowed: Allied, Friend" but no luck.
I tried changing ownership of the tavern but didn't work too.
Thanks a lot if someone knows.

I am not a dota nerd, more likely a stunota hater, but I am positive there are either:

a dummy units which are getting removed and you are unable to buy them
or
action to make unit(s) to be trained by player

Hmmm, Dota is fast approaching the 8MB limit and the devs are trying to save every single byte, so creating a dummy unit for every hero is quite a waste of space, especially if they're going to be needed only for some seconds in the start..

But anyway, to make it clearer, I have 2 teams like this:

Team 1
Player 1 - Computer
Player 2 - Human
Player 3 - Human
Player 4 - Human

Team 2
Player 7 - Computer
Player 8 - Human
Player 9 - Human
Player 10 - Human

Tavern 1 belongs to Player 1
Tavern 2 belongs to Player 7

Players 2,3 and 4 should be able to select heroes only from Tavern 1
Players 8.9 and 10 should be able to select heroes only from Tavern 2

BUT right now any player can click the other team's tavern and select their heroes. :(


(Offtopic: Believe me or not, I actually don't play Dota, last time I tried was like 2 months ago. Because it's been around for too long, most people are very good at it and it's not much fun for noobs like me being killed all the time. Besides it gets boring after some time, same terrain, same old stuff etc.
The reason I mentioned dota is because it has something in it that I need, so I used it as a reference. So don't hate me :) )

Dummy units take no space unless they are preloaded. Even tho I hate the crap I know Dota have no preloading. Do this:

Get dummy air units and give each one of them hero inventory. Give them sight of 80 and place on the VERY middle of the tavern. Set the distance of SELL UNITS in tavern to 100 and my guarantee you can't select. Just tested.
