[Trigger] Can't add Locust via triggers

[Yours Truly]

I can't find a way to add locust to units using the triggers. I dun want to use a new unit,since the ability is global,meaning I have to make an alternative units for ALL!! Thanksinadvance

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

Never tried to actually do that though.

It does not appear in the GUI ability list for some reason, you need to do it with jass as muffin-guy said.
Or add it through the object editor.

It might be possible if you make another copy of the locust ability. I have never tried that, but it might work.

I used to add 'Aloc' to unit. It does work for me.

Do keep in mind that once you give a unit the locust ability, there is no real way of getting rid of the effects that come with it. If I remember correctly, units that had locust removed made it impossible to target them with selection (you had to drag-select) and their HP bar still remained invisible.

Save values like HP, position etc and remove it. And create a new one with the same values.

Not perfect, but good.
