[Trigger] Confuddling Trigger!

[wereguy2]

[SOLVED]
I need help making a trigger that, in some way or another, makes a unit unselectable or invisible when it comes within 150 or so range of a destructible!
This is to ensure that someone cant just drag their mouse over the screen to find a unit that is meant to be hiding.
Making regions will not work as new doodads will be popping up and getting destroyed.

Add the Locust ability. This does however allow nobody to select or target it anymore. If the unit has a player owner, you should add the Invisible ability or Ghost ability. Not sure which does what anymore, so you'll just have to check it out.

Locust doesnt work, as the unit will need to be attacked and moved around (I tried it) and Invisibility wont work because it allows the player to stand out in the open, making it hard to know where to look...

PS. Yay Disco Chicken!


EDIT. YAY I worked it out! I just disabled pre- and box-selection! It was so simple!
Thanks anyway

There is a little problem with that. If a player holds Alt, they'll see the health bar, even if it's hidden behind trees or something.

You might find something useful in a Ninja vs Samurai map.

No, pre-selection does that.
The only bad thing is that the cursor goes red when it is put over a unit, but oh well...

u can try this, not sure if it works tho. just theory. to disable healthbar set selection circle to -1.
And then do this
its vertex color to invis, at same time as setting its flying height to 2000 (or very high) or all players accept the localplayer. Reason why is to avoid desync, cus as long as u call the same function for all players, it doesnt matter value. Just make sure to not do a GetUnitFlyheight when it is hiding... cus tat will desync (different fly height)

What are those?

Pre-selection is when you just hover your mouse over an unit and you see that dim green circle appear beneath the unit. It also shows that little box above the unit with stuff like the player's name and the unit level.

Box-selection is, as the name implies, where you drag the mouse to select multiple units.

But how do you disable that?

I believe there are triggers for that. Somewhere along the Game section or player.

Or I think you can remove it for a specific unit by adding and removing the locust ability.

Or is it adding, hiding, removing, unhiding. Anyway I forgot.

Eh its fine as it is
