'Aloc' Making a Unit Unselectable

[RiotZ]

Okay, this is the code, which I copied from Amig's squad system and modified to make it more efficient.

My idea was to make every unit but the leader an 'Aloc' unit that can attack and take damage, but is not selectable. I've seen it done before, so how do I do it, and if this is close why isn't it working?

• Else - Actions
  • Set GPoint[1] = (Position of (Trained unit))
  • Set GPoint[2] = (Rally-Point of (Triggering unit) as a point)
  • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at GPoint[1] facing (Facing of (Trained unit)) degrees
  • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(GetLastCreatedUnit(),'Aloc')
  • Unit - Hide (Last created unit)
  • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(GetLastCreatedUnit(),'Aloc')
  • Unit - Unhide (Last created unit)
  • AI - Ignore (Last created unit)'s guard position
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To GPoint[2]
  • Unit - Set the custom value of (Last created unit) to GNumber
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_GPoint[1])
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_GPoint[2])

Reply asking for it, if you need more of the gui script.

If you remove 'Aloc' from unit, it can only be drag-selected.

Remove the hide/unhide actions.

 

[SirNikolas]

Maker, I think in that case the ability will not be removed.

 

[RiotZ]

Tbh, I only need to remove drag selection from these specific units.

I'm trying what Maker said right now.

Edlt: It worked, but they no longer follow any of the orders they are given by the triggers, and their pathing map becomes 0. Any way to fix either of those things?

Playing with 'Aloc', but note the side effects.

 

[RiotZ]

This doesn't answer my question... But it helps...

Is there any way, no matter how complex and inconceivable to make the squad members not drag selectable, and the leader drag selectable?

 

[Troll-Brain]

Seems not (without the mentionned side effects), we are playing with a bug anyway, nothing reliable.

I would expect there is a Jass function to remove drag selection from a single unit, as there is a GUI function to remove all drag selection.

Is there any way to make sure that the leader is only selected? Other than making the units owned by a computer.

 

[Troll-Brain]

There are plenty of jass functions which have a global effect, rather than a specific one.
There is no function to remove a drag selection from a single unit.

I suppose you want mean :

Probably by model editing.

Model Editing? Clarify.
