Disable Right Click

[Rex.]

How can I disable the right click which is often used to move the unit?

 

[Chaosy]

You can disable movement by simply ordering a unit to stop once an order is given with triggers. But there is no actual way to disable right click.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Event:
A unit is issued an order with a point target

Condition:
Issued order equal to "smart"

Actions:
Issue immediate order "stop" to triggering unit.


This might not be enough if players spam-click somewhere. If you want it 100% free of exploits, you have to issue the stop order with a 0 second delay via a timer.

In addition to Zwiebelchen's post:
You can create a Trigger, convert it to custom text and then place this inside it:
Then you can do a custom script: "call IssueImmediateOrderByIdDelayed(GetTriggerUnit(), OrderId("stop"), 0)"

library DelayedOrder uses TimerIndex

If you want a unit to simply stop moving you can get a dummy unit to cast ensnare. They can still spin around on the spot, attack and cast spells. Remove the buff to end.

Another method is to change the channel ability. Change the base order ID to smart, Options to universal spell and target type to point target. All right clicks by that unit can be detected when they cast that spell. Add and remove the ability to toggle on and off.

I think its slightly better than just stopping the order once it is given. Since spam clicking sometimes can bypass it.

Here's the method kingkwong described. . . I am amazed you knew that handy hidden feature, I was planning to reveal that in a couple weeks.

Just add the *custom* channel(Disable Right-Click named) ability to any unit/hero you want right-click disabled on.

I was surprized I knew something too lol
I learnt this a while ago from thehelper.net and using it in my current map.

I want to try help on the threads too but usually I don't have a solution or someone else is there first. So I'm glad I was able to offer some innovative solutions

What is the advantage of this over checking for the "smart" order in combination with an order event? Seems like a pointless workaround for a problem that doesn't even exist to me.

Doesn't require any code/triggers for constant detection so it creates less strain on everyone's computers.

So just adding this ability would already cause the unit to stop moving? No triggers at all? If so, that's just neato!
Does it still work with the channel ability hidden (or without the "visible" flag in the OE)?

 

[kingkwong]

It actually still allows the unit to move but removes the right click which is what was asked for.

The unit can still move if the player wanted the unit to.

If you made 3 more to block attack,move,patrol then yes the unit wouldn't be able to move anymore unless aggro'd. Yeah it is pretty neat, a well-kept secret for a long time until now.

Yeah I don't see why not.

 

[kingkwong]

Opps, was this supposed to be a secret?
I just share everything I have lol

No lol, it's fine... I was going to reveal it in a couple weeks anyways so its quite awesome you knew about this.

That's so cool.

Does the unit still turn towards the target if you right-click?

Might be a nice alternative to pausing units.

You still have to trigger to disable turning unless I forgot something, besides that is really easy to do.
