[JASS] Ability that makes somtehing invisible

[dardas]

is there a way to make an ability like True sight, just do the opposite?
if its visible, make it invisible, if its invisible, make it visible?
i dont care vjass/jass or w/e...

edit: btw.. just for 1 player. (its suposed to be mpi)

thanks in advance.

yes, it's doable...
but the part where if the unit is visible and then make it invisible when it's around a unit sounds impossible or VERY difficult to do with WE...

 

[dardas]

well.. i want like a tree engine system..
for each player, but only the player can see it.
also when you can like "enter houses".. and the roof dissapears,
i need a way to make them invisible.. if i do "hide unit/destructable"
it will be for every 1.. so i was thinking there might be a way with LocalPlayer (never used it before, so i got no clue how it works).

Hiding Units with GetLocalPlayer() will cause desyncs.

 

[dardas]

Oh.. so how can this be done? ;/

 

[axleion]

well, if its destructable, then i suggests that you make a dummy unit with the destructable model to replace it, so you can at least do more with it than with destructable options.

haven't tried it, but how bout alpha transparency in vertex color?

 

[dardas]

i allready replaced with a dummy unit.. to try vertex color aswell..
but its not mpi..
alpha color is for every 1, every single player will see it, not only the owner..

Use local player to set roof's transparency to 0% or 100% depending if you want player to see it or not. It shouldn't desync.

oh.. thanks, ill try that..
