Creating a Semi Cloak

[Undead0dd]

Alright, I want to have a unit be invisible when he is not attacking(Like the Zealot upgrade in Pobes vs Zealot and Rikimaru from DotA)

I thought a requirement would do the trick but it didn't work(All I did in the requirement was Field Semi Cloak Not Attacking
: Requirement + (!CountAbil(attack,QueuedOnlyAtUnit)|(None)))

Some insight would be nice.

EDIT: I think I may have figured out but not sure. Would it be a Validator?

Yes, use either a validator or a requirement to do this (which gives you the needed functionality).

Ok, I gave the Invisibility behavior the NotAttacking Validator and a requirement with the same event, except I changed QueuedOnlyAtUnit to CompletedOnlyAtUnit and it isn't de-cloaking the unit when he is attacking.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Try giving it only the Validator. Also make sure that the unit is not inherently cloaked (it is the behaviour adding the cloaking).

So the unit must start off uncloaked?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Well here is one way which should work.

Unit starts out permanently cloaked.
Unit has permanent Behaviour
Behaviour fires an effect when owner deals damage.
Effect adds Behaviour2 to the damag source unit.
Behaviour2 turns off cloaking and lasts a few seconds before expiring.

Advantage is that it allows you to make the unit remain uncloaked for a while after attacking. Disadvantage is only once the unit deals damage does he uncloak meaning that the entire animation stage of attacking his first attack he remains cloaked.

I see. Thanks for the help.
