[Solved] Create unity visible only for a player

[Felipe Gormadoc]

so I would like to know how can I create a unit that is only visible to a player? (Owner of Triggering Unit)

From GetLocalPlayer FAQ:

6. Unit color, transparancy, size/scale for 1 player only?

Question - this cause desyncronization?
Answer - No - tested myself

trigger

• Test 1
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing test as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Player = (Triggering player)
    • Set Unit = Peasant 0000 <gen>
    • Set Alpha = 100
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Player then
      • Set Alpha = 0
    • Custom script: endif
    • Animation - Change Unit's vertex coloring to (100%, 100%, 100%) with Alpha transparency

I have not tested the example, the more I see it hides the unit to Triggering Player

wanted the unit to be visible only to the Player (Owner of Triggering unit)

then use != and not ==

then use != and not ==

swap == to !=
will make the unit to be visible only to getplayer?

yes, because:

transparency = 100%
if player != your player then
transparency = 0%
endif

apply transparency

shortly this is the sense of that trigger if u use !=

Or if you don't want to mess with the custom script: switch the alpha settings (alpha = 0 at the top, alpha = 100 between the custom scripts).
Two easy, straight-forward solutions, both equally good (at least in this case, as I suspect the transparency of that unit won't change, and if so the '100' can be changed).

when I used == instead != worked (OBS: when I used != did not work)
use == instead != can give a problem?

and because when I use hide / unhide the locust disappears?

 

[Maker]

Yes, hiding/unhiding takes away some of the functionality of Locust. Remove/Add Locust again or make the unit invisible by setting vertex color instead of hide/unhide.
