From Pabstmirror in ACE3 Slack

Back in a3beta I did selectUnit on someone and controlled his unit while he could do nothing but watch from first person; about 10 seconds later his game crashed

alganthe said it no longer crashes, so that sounds like a great potential module

Providing it as a module is probably the better solution. Achilles provides it as ALT keybind, which I think received a couple of complaints about keybinding conflicts with some other mods.

Before Arma 3 it was possible to selectPlayer another player-controlled unit, leading to control issues.

That seems to imply you cannot select another playercontrolled unit at all.
If you can, the wiki should be fixed too.

I don't really know how the remote controlling in ZEN works of what function it uses, but I would really appreciate a module for the selectPlayer function, like what is possible with Achilles. There are some scripts that don't work properly when the unit is not fully switched, and having to invoke the function via script outside of Zeus is a bit cumbersome.
