When setting a rallypoint on a huntable animal like chicken or deer, the trained unit moves to the animal and heads back to the building instead of killing and gathering.

yep, broken by r18979 as the trick to add the player number inside the template is used for all units with UnitAI (so also for animals) while it was previously only used for garrisoned units. There may be other side effects with pieces of code relying on templates. We should implement a less hacky way to separate templates according to owner.

I've just did it this way, because leper said in #1807:

Thanks for the patch. The special handling for templates is probably the best solution apart from rewriting EntityGroups (which would cause other problems) or rewriting a lot of the gui code.

A possible improvement would be to allow the ally to unload all of his units at once (by using unload-all-own and rewriting that to take the player as an argument).

Indeed that ret.template = "p" + ret.player + "&" + ret.template part in the GUI interface seems bad, we could perhaps just add a new property owner or ownership to the extended entity state and take it from there.

Replying to elexis:

That won't be enough, as the whole EntityGroups, etc. has to be aware, we are sorting by player. So the clean fix would be to let EntityGroups not only sort by templates, but also by player.

Properly sort selected entities by owner
