DEvour makes the unit visible?!

[stan0033]

Hey, I made a unit that has permanent invisibility, Devour, and Devour Cargo.

My question is why when the unit devours another unit it becomes visible and how to fix this?

 

[DoomBlade]

It's, because devour gives full vision to the owner.

 

[stan0033]

yeah, wondering if there's a way to fix it

Maybe you can use the Share Vision of Unit action, and set it to False? I forget if that's a thing or not.

 

[ThompZon]

Maybe change owner of devoured unit, remember it (I.E. Hashtable) so you can change back if the unit gets out.
Can't say it's a great solution, but might work...
I couldn't get any Shared Vision to work and the ability does not seem to have anything that can change the behaviour...

Ok thanks I'll see into it

you could make it devour it instantly, and re-trigger other effects you want to keep, but that might be more trouble than it's worth..
