Dummy units help

[Shmucker]

Hey im wondering how do i create a dummy unit so a can use it with moves thx in advance

A dummy unit is just a unit with no model (or a blank one), that uses the ability Locust to make in un-selectable.

So, just make a unit in the object editor, remove all of the relevant fields (set them to 0), like food cost, and whatnot.

Then you can create it at locations using Triggers, and order it to cast spells. For more thorough information, take a look at some tutorials. This, might help you with some of the triggering aspect.

Also, creating two almost identical threads within a day of each other was a bad idea. (Here), so keep that in mind for the future.

Try make it invisible with triggers then.

No. Type .mdl in the model box.

Make sure that you remove the shadow as well.

Gasido, You can't make unit invisible for the owner of unit by this way.


hawk900 is true, set the path to model to ".mdl"

I know I'm true.
