Adding locust via trigger?

[fatherofchill]

I feel like I've done this before but for some reason I can't find it.

Is there a way to add the locus ability to a unit via trigger?

Unit - Add Ability
Add Locust to YourUnit

Or did you want to use JASS?

JASS is always cleaner call UnitAddAbility(udg_yourUnit, 'Aloc')

edit: apparently it can only be JASS

Yes, looks like it's removed on the list of abilities in GUI. (can't find it somehow on my editor version either)

JASS is always cleaner
call UnitAddAbility(udg_yourUnit, 'Aloc')

^ So just refer to this method via custom script instead.

GUI does not list it, you have to use JASS

That’s interesting. I guess I am still using 1.27 and it still lists it. Yet another odd inconvenience with the newest patch?

Impossible, it has never shown in GUI before.

 

[Veritas 117]

Let me get back to you on that. I’m pretty sure it shows up for me. Weird

Post a screenshot with the "Unit - Add ability" function list and the locust showing there and I believe you.

I’ll check it out when I get a chance. I’m on my phone at the moment. It’s very possible that I am misremembering, but I’ll check.

They're right. It's only listed in OE unit ability list. It's just a misconception.

Thank you! Yeah it is not possible with GUI.

I also see why they possibly hid this option from the GUI add ability. When removing it through a trigger you still can't select the unit. But I worked around it with Hiding and Unhiding it right after. If anyone knows a better solution let me know.
