Uncontrollable player owned units

[Bethezard]

Hey,
How to make units owned by player, without player being able to control them. The same as in "Castle Fight", when unit buildings spawn a unit and it is purely controlled by AI/script, and player can't order anything, its just titled with player name above, but player can't neither select them in group, neither see any actions.

ward setting... unit classifications->ward->true

 

[Bethezard]

Thanks, will try.

what that will do is remove the attack/stop/move/patrol/cast buttons and stop the unit from being selected via dragging a selection square. It can still be controlled via selecting it and ordering it explicitly to do things, however you can prevent this via triggers (event that a unit is ordered to do something)

 

[Bethezard]

Yes, ward setting works.
But, can you please be more specific, what trigger should I use, to prevent human control of units, without interfering their active order? I can't find an action, that would allow issue an order original order targeting original target.
Only idea left - when unit is produced, add unit to unit group variable, that combines all units with same order/target, and when player tries to issue new order, just search if ordered unit is within "unit group" and override order, depending on the group, it is in.

This set of triggers ought to work.

that sounds like a locusted unit. unselectable, no group, no orders.

 

[GFreak45]

thats not what he was meaning, more that it cant be controlled by the players, but it can be controlled by the computer (including attacking) which locusted units cant do unless they are spawned from the locust ability
