Disabling Orders

[Grey Nightmare]

I feel really stupid but despite all my experience in the editor I can't work this simple thing out...

Without disabling user control and or/activating cinematic mode is there a way to prevent players issuing orders to units, but still able to use abilities while a unit is selected.

I know I could do something like

-> Unit is issued order

-> order unit to stop

But it's not my ideal way of going about it <.<

Thanks in advance!

Why not just do it like you said, issued an order?

Seems like the best way if you want to still be able to use abilitys..

Maybe give more info on your situation, If you made them buildings you could use abilities still and not move them. If you wanted to do a LegionTD type thing and for a time swap the unit with a building of its same type, that way during that time they can still cast but do nothing else.

Or you could have Player Extra be allies or netral with the units u wanna freeze and cast silence over them, This would make it so they couldnt attack with melee or ranged but u can still allow them to cast abilities.

You could use mass unit pause. But that just makes them not move all together. You would still be able to issue them orders and cast abilities, they just wouldnt do it till unpaused i think.

idk i'll try and give ya more options once you tell more what ya need it for.

If you wish to be able to cast spells, but not want to move the unit, make a dummy unit - selling system. Have the Unit you selected take the color of the selector, and show up on him the units sold in a layout you wish, then inside the acualy unit have custom abilities, then buy a unit, kill the unit (or remove from game), and make a custom script that issues an order to the unit to cast the spell.

Code / Unit can't move

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued a order targeting a point
• Conditions
  • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(move))
• Actions
  • Unit - Order (Trigging unit) to stop

Note: That condition doesn't work for movement unless you actually left-click the move icon and select the ground.

How about this?

• Conditions
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is YourUnit) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

To answer the following quote:

Ok got it, if he doesn't like my options from before. make the unit paused, but when you select it then un-pause it so your able to cast abilities then re-pause it again. Something like that could work if done right.

Players/Humans are Intelligent creature
They do at anything to cheat the system
If they still select the unit, the order will not be disable since this will enable the ability
So, able ability = unit can be ordered to attack/move/stop... etc command also

Just remove the move button, then when you want them to move again, put it back?

Not sure if that's possible, but it should be....

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Hmm, thanks ever so much for the input guys and sorry for lack of information I'm making an arrow key movement map, so it's kinda annoying if people decide to use mouse instead

I think the issue order thing is best, but like you said they can still right click =(

Disable the Movement Speed of the unit
Go to Object Editor under Units tab and find "Stats - Movement Speed" or something then change it to 0 value, which the unit can't move
But still, can attack...

If still can attack turn off de Combat - Attack Enabled to None~

He wanted the "Disable Attack Condition" to be temporary
By disabling the attack... the unit cannot attack forever
BUT, if the game consists of triggered Attack, then, disabling attack might do the trick

Tryed messing with Root ability?

Well i think he wants movement, but movement that people cant control with the mouth, only arrow keys. In that case look at my idea
