arrow seen by 1 player

[bigdog117]

is it possible to create an arrow above a unit and have it seen by a specific player

think of the select hero ability where it shows the arrow above the hero that is selected. i want that but where it doesnt auto select the unit, and able to select enemies.

also if all of that is possible, i want the arrow to only be seen when the unit with the ability is selected.

To make something seen only by a specific player you need to you the GetLocalPlayer() function. For it to show a special effect for only 1 player and not cause desyncs you need the code to be like this:

local string s = ""
local effect e
if GetLocalPlayer() == YOUR_PLAYER then
    set s = YOUR_EFFECT
endif
set e = AddSpecialEffectTarget(s, YOUR_UNIT, "overhead")
set s = null

For the GUI solution, you simply use

• Special Effect - Create Special Effect On Unit

For an arrow, you just check the Special Effect models or you can use an imported model.

Reborn Devil's way is correct D:

WROOOONG!

Cause I felt like it.

The_Reborn_Devil's way is correct, however. (Although it will leak cause you'll find it difficult to destroy the arrow later without adding something else).

But why null s?
