Uncontrollable Chinook transport to evacuate civilians

Guest

I'm trying to make a map like "In The Thick Of It" (Red Alert Allied Mission 1) where you have to evacuate a civilian (in this case a General unit). I know the basics of calling reinforcements and I managed to call a Chinook which lifts off and leaves the map when the General enters it.

The problem is that the Chinook is controllable and I don't want that. In the Allied Mission it's also not controllable. How can I disable the player control of specific units?

Selectable=no in the unit's section in the map should do it.

If you can't select it, you can't control it.

Could you give me an example or map with this solution?
According to this documentation: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/196962-command-and-conquer-red-alert/faqs/1701

The format of a [UNITS] entry is:
num=country,type,health,cell,facing,action,trig

My question concerns the non-modded Red Alert by the way

P.S.

My fault, thought you were modding TS/RA2; it's what most the community mods here these days.

Can't help with remasters, sorry.

Got an answer in a different forum:

The solution is to create a teamtype for a different house. The house BadGuy has the same color scheme as the USSR so it works.

Well you could just look inside the original missions and see how they did it.
