Cycloned unit lost on map.

[Rugarus]

I have a script that when a player leaves the game the game kills his main unit, and another script that basically detects when the unit is killed and runs another script.

But I found a bug that when the unit is cycloned he can't be found on the map until he returns down. Is there a way to bypass this cyclone placeholder remover and kill the unit while cycloned? Either way even if I just detect the leave and run the other script I still need to kill this unit once he's free'd from the cyclone.

Thanks.

Try enumerating the unit from units owned by the player and not units on the map.

If you have a reference to the unit but cannot kill it, can try checking for buff every second or so and once the buff is gone killing it.

It's an option if you edit your initial post in the thread. Somewhere near the top where you can flair it. In general it's not necessary, people should at least read the last replies in the thread to see if it's been resolved or not.

Hey so I'm running into another issue, I need the cyclone to remove the hitbox below while cycloned. Is there an option to do that or is the only way to do that by changing

"Cyclone Hides Unit to True" ?

 

[Pyrogasm]

Yeah that's probably the point of that option. Sounds like it would be simpler for you to just code your own custom cyclone skill to get exactly the functionality you want.

Or Maybe just turn off the collision of the unit.

Tried it only seems to make the affected unit able to go through buildings yet other units can't pass through.

Not sure if I should ask here or go to the scripting area.

But I basically need to detect when the unit is cycloned, store the unit and kill the unit when he exits the cyclone. Should I just set a timer as long as the cyclone duration and kill the unit once the timer is up? Or is there a better way of doing that?

You can auto-kill a unit after X time by giving it an expiration timer. Another possible solution would be to store any unit targeted by cyclone into a unit group and then also kill/remove the appropriate units from that group when your player leave script runs.
