Why can i still select my dummys even though i gave them locust?

FriXionX · Jun 24, 2009

This is weird. I used locust fine on 1 of my dummys, but now, on 2 of my dummys, i can still select them. I also gave them Crow Form aswell, and if you change the dummy to crow, THEN back, you cant select them. Is this causing the problem? cant you have crow form and locust at the same time?

Hm make sure both forms have locust ?

FriXionX · Jun 24, 2009

Well, i dont want him to go crow form. I just want to change the flying height, so instead of adding it in the triggers, i just put it in his abilities

ps. thx for the uber fast reply :s

edit: even if i just add locust with no other abilities, the dummy can still be selected, wtf? Why is this happening to only 2/5 of my dummys?

FriXionX · Jun 25, 2009

Bump.
Sure someone must know >.>
+ I Found out the units still have collision aswell...

Reaper2008 · Jun 25, 2009

Set the model to "Zone Indicator".

DarkAngelAzazel · Jun 25, 2009

Delete the unit... Create a new unit... add locust... try again

FriXionX · Jun 25, 2009

Cant do that reaper, i want the model to be something else

Ill try that Azazel

FriXionX · Jun 25, 2009

It still doesnt work. I can still select it! what the hells going on?
Shall i post my map?

DarkAngelAzazel · Jun 25, 2009

let's sum up:

You have unit
with the ability locust.
NO hero? its added as standart ability?
And you are still able to select him?
You are sure that you placed the right unit? (i sometimes have 2 units with the same name)

toofless · Jun 25, 2009

If you make your dummy a flying unit in the object editor and give it height of 1 you can modify its fly height without using crow form or meta and such.

FriXionX · Jun 25, 2009

What i did: I copy/pasted from a dummy which has locust and you cant select him. So all the abilities are there, and i just changed the model, and name, but i can still select my new one. I will attach the map to see what you can make out of it. The dummys that can be selected are called "Rasenshuriken Dummy" and "Sand Spear". All the other dummys cant be selected

Michael Peppers · Jun 25, 2009

Sincerely, this problem makes no sense at all

Maybe it's better for you to attach the map in your next post so that we can test it

EDIT: Ha! You beat me in timing

FriXionX · Jun 25, 2009

Haha

I didnt even put crow form on my sand spear, and you can still select it >.>

Michael Peppers · Jun 25, 2009

Weird, I can't select them :xxd:

However, remove the shades for the dummies with no models and Invulnerable is useless since Locusts are invulnerable themselves.

EDIT: The spear is selectable, I'll check that better

FriXionX · Jun 25, 2009

The rasenshuriken model. When he throws it, i made a dummy unit with the rasenshuriken model. you can select that

and what do you mean remove the shades?

Michael Peppers · Jun 25, 2009

An idea, I could delete the collision spheres of the models, that way they shouldn't be selectable anymore, is that ok for you?

Set the "Shade Image" field to none, in the editor they got Footman's shade

FriXionX · Jun 25, 2009

Yeah o.0
You mean editing the models? or in the object editor

Michael Peppers · Jun 25, 2009

2 seconds in Magos Model Editor, but I need permission to do that :bored:

FriXionX · Jun 25, 2009

Oh, dont do that then. Surely theres a fix in the object editor for this..

offtopic: How do you change your thing under your name where it says "User"? Like yours says Im a boot.

User CP -> Edit your details

In optional information there's a "custom user title" field

FriXionX · Jun 25, 2009

So... does anyone know? I still havnt figured it out

cookies4you · Jun 25, 2009

i think i know whats wrong. did you give your units locust or the hero ability/normal ability locust. try adding it to units via triggers.

Reaper2008 · Jun 25, 2009

Deselect through triggers?

Not exactly what you want, but does the job.

FriXionX · Jun 26, 2009

Cookies, whats the difference between the 2?
And why is this ignored

FriXionX · Jun 27, 2009

Bump

ikillforeyou · Jun 27, 2009

most of these aren't mui, i'll check to see what i can do

Woah, that is very strange.

FriXionX · Jun 28, 2009

Yeh i know, their not mui and leak a little in each. Im just practicing xD But this bug is really weird..

FriXionX · Jul 1, 2009

lol, bump

dimitri231 · Jul 1, 2009

Maybe locust doesnt affect these models or you cant use all dummies based on the same unit (ArchMage)

FriXionX · Jul 2, 2009

Thx for the reply, but im basing all the units off of Footman. Some work, some dont. Maybe it is just the models, im not sure... last thing ive come down to though..

Reaper2008 · Jul 2, 2009

Maybe it's the models indeed. Are all your selectables custom models?

FriXionX · Jul 2, 2009

Yes. im practicing some naruto spells if you look at the map. Is there a way to check if they can have locust or not?
Ive also seen the models in another map though, and they have had locust, OR they are a special effect.
Can you make a moving special effect?

FriXionX · Jul 4, 2009

*sigh* bump

Why can i still select my dummys even though i gave them locust?
