[Trigger] add Locust to unit and make unit act like Locust

[Ergic]

hi guys so i need help cause i created an ability that removes the locust ability into a specific unit in the map and after a few seconds i add back the locust ability to the unit but when i add the ability again the unit does not act like a locust anymore (i mean the locust unit which roams around and attack enemy units) so thats it i want to add the locust ability and making the unit go roam around and attack again is this possible?

Locust has nothing to do with movement, all that locust does is make the unit unselectable and invulnerable... if you need it to move, you'd need to issue orders to it...

 

[Ergic]

so how do i make the unit act like a locust? in triggers

 

[Adiktuz]

you can issue an attack-move order probably but I don't think you can make it fully work like before anymore... You might even be better off just triggering the whole locust thing...

ok thanks for the reply. i just noticed your 10,000th post is in my thread XD

btw, try hiding then unhiding the unit after you re-add the locust...

 

[Ergic]

why?

 

[Adiktuz]

It might make a difference... I'm sure I've read in some threads back thru time about hide then unhide after messing with locusted units...

If you hide/unhide and remove locust ability again, the unit will be drag-selectable again and will also be detected if you use the function PickAllUnits...AndDoActions.

You can move Unit like a locust

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Set TempPoint2 = (Random point in (Playable map area))
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set TempUnit = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order TempUnit to Move To TempPoint2
    • Custom script: call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'Aloc', udg_TempUnit )
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint2)

You can only pick units with locust with "pick every units owned by player x", "pick every units of unit type" and "...issue order" if I'm right. "A unit enters region" fires too if a unit with locust goes by. Some people say that "Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of UnitWithLocust" doesn't work, which is wrong, because it worked for me.
