Is there a way to hide healthbar of unit (not locust ability)?

[kewlthis]

Well is there? I need it to hide it shouldnt show for some dummy units, but i need them still to be selectable.

maybe just add Invisibility to unit or in trigger editor Hide Unit?

Well I use this:

call UnitAddAbility(<yourUnit>,'Aloc')
call ShowUnit(<yourUnit>,false)
call ShowUnit(<yourUnit>,true)

Then you can normaly select them. And there is no lifebar.

Set "Art - Selection Scale" to 0.00 in the Object Editor, it hides the lifebar, however the selection circle too.

only thing is that you need drag selection, cause you cannot click on them, but shouldn't be a problem i guess

You should still be able to click on them, its not the selection circle that tells if you can select it or not.

If you still need another solution, this is the GUI version of what Hanky posted. This trigger gives your unit the locust ability (can't be done without custom script) then hides it (you won't notice it anyway, maybe you will have problems if the unit is selected, it could unselect it...not sure though) removes the locust ability and then unhides it again. For more informations check this page: The Warcraft III Ability Guide - Wc3campaigns and look for Locust

• Actions
  • Set YourUnit = The unit you need to modify
  • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(udg_YourUnit,'Aloc')
  • Unit - Hide YourUnit
  • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(udg_YourUnit,'Aloc')
  • Unit - Unhide YourUnit

You might want to look at Game - Enable/Disable pre-selection functionality, however it affects all units.
