Some notes to myself about modding DotA 2.

Creating a unit that's controllable by a specific player

This code creates a mud golem at (0, 0, 0) on the Radiant team and makes it controllable by player 0:

unit_team = DOTA_TEAM_GOODGUYS
unit_name = "npc_dota_neutral_mud_golem"
player = PlayerResource:GetPlayer(0)
point = Vector(0, 0, 0)

unit = CreateUnitByName(unit_name, point, true, nil, nil, unit_team)
unit:SetControllableByPlayer(player:GetPlayerID(), true)
