Add "Locust"?

[splashy5]

is their any way to add the Locust ability w/ triggers? in the Unit-Add Ability you cant find it in there, so is their any other way to add it to the unit w/o having it on it in the first place?

Go to Actions, and scroll to "Custom script". Then, type this: "call UnitAddAbility (GetTriggerUnit(), 'Aloc')". So, this, would look like this in the Editor:

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility (GetTriggerUnit(), 'Aloc')

GetTriggerUnit() is the equivalent of Triggering Unit in GUI.

Use custom script. If you had a unit variable (from the GUI variable editor) named YourUnit the code necessary would be:

call UnitAddAbility(udg_YourUnit, 'Aloc')

You butt-munch.

Can't see why you'd want to add it to triggering unit in most cases (if it's for an ability)

• Custom script: call UnitAddaBility (GetLastCreatedUnit(), 'Aloc')

if you want to add it to a created dummy unit

I know, it's an example; believe it or not though, I used to add locust to some caster though, because I wanted to disable him from being controlled afterwards (campaign related issue).

I knew it was an example, but not everyone knows how to find the jass equiv of some of the gui thingamajiggers. Thought I'd save him some google time if he wanted to add it to a dummy unit.

GetLastCreatedUnit() is some embellished crap Blizzard through in the code to try to make it seem like GetTriggerUnit() or GetAttacker(). It's not. That facade of a script only returns the value "bj_lastCreatedUnit" which only applies if the unit was created through an embellished BJ function to begin with!

People using GUI who create units with the useless CreateNUnitsAtLoc function would do better to reference bj_lastCreatedUnit instead of GetLastCreatedNonsense

GUI noobies who still create units with the useless CreateNUnitsAtLoc function would do better to reference bj_lastCreatedUnit instead of GetLastCreatedBullshit

umad bro?

If it works it works. Don't think anyone will take your advice when you insult them.

How in the world did you see that as an insult to you? If anything, it's an insult to Blizzard, and they really don't care.

"GUI noobies"

Thought that was directed at myself or the OP.

 

[Bribe]

Noobies is not an insulting word in my vocabulary. Sorry you took it that way, that's completely not what I meant. To me it's just slang for people learning the ropes.

 

[BagOfChips]

newb = new

noob = bad

That's the general consensus, I think.

 

[Pharaoh_]

BagOfChips, I see what you mean, but I can assure you Bribe's intentions are good

You will use this for a maze/escape?
