Giving Locust Ability to a Hero?

[zulrivers]

I can't find a solution to that can someone help please?
Give - Locust - To - Hero
It - Only - Works - On - Units

Please decribe more of the problem.

1st of all, Locust is NOT meant to be a HERO TYPE SPELL as this is ONLY suitable for DUMMY UNITS
This ability MUST be put into Abilities - Normal, field in order for it to work
It's IMPOSSIBLE for it to become a hero spell (unless you want a Locust Swam-based spell, now that's different) but if you want a raw Locust-based spell, I'm afraid it can't be done

 

[ap0calypse]

It's possible.

Default locust: (hero always has locust)

Go to the object editor and select the hero you want to give locust.
Go to "Abilities - Normal" and add the ability Locust.

Hero Ability Locust: (Locust can be researched as an ability)

Again, go to the hero you wish to give locust.
Now, go to "Abilities - Hero" and SHIFT + ENTER it, this will give you a little bar to type stuff in.
Behind all other values, type in "Aloc" (this a comma if there are multiple abilities) - THIS IS CASE SENSITIVE.

Edit: defskull, it's possible (see above)

And if this isn't what you meant, it's your fault for not describing it properly.

Okay...
I'm not master in Shift + Enter thingy yet so...
Thanks for clearing that up ^^

EDIT:
HOWEVER, a Locust spell for Hero is a... BAAAD idea don't you think ap0 ?

Mehh, I only know it because I was bored (about a year ago though) and tested all those things with shift + enter.

And yes, it's a bad idea
I wouldn't even know how you could possiby use that >_< you research an ability and suddenly you can't click your hero anymore...

edit: Is it possible to give locust to a unit by triggers? i tried using the collision off function, the unit with the collision offed can move through units but other units can't move through him

 

[ap0calypse]

It is.

call UnitAddAbility(GetTriggerUnit(), 'Aloc')

Add the above line in a Custom script, wherever you want a unit to have locust.

NOTE: it only gives the triggering unit the ability.
For "Picked Unit", replace "GetTriggerUnit()" with "GetEnumUnit()".
I think those two are the most important for this...

How do you find all that stuff out? How the hell should people know ''Picked Unit'' in Jass is ''EnumUnit''? :I

Is there some kind of list for this?

Lol I created a list for it, yes xD

But it's actually rather easy:
Go to the trigger editor and create a GUI trigger with "Picked unit" in it somewhere.
Then go to Edit -> Convert to custom text et voila.

Over time, you'll remember them - they're actually quite easy to remember ^^

I'd rather spend my time learning more advanced programming languages.

Can it be possible giving Locust ability through TRIGGER ?

 

[iown_azz]

Here is a spell that I learned. but this one gives it to all units on map. IT was for a maze

 function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Func001Func001A takes nothing returns nothing
    call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'Aloc', GetEnumUnit() )
    call ShowUnitHide( GetEnumUnit() )
    call ShowUnitShow( GetEnumUnit() )
endfunction

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Func001A takes nothing returns nothing
    call ForGroupBJ( GetUnitsOfPlayerAll(GetEnumPlayer()), function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Func001Func001A )
endfunction

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call ForForce( GetPlayersAll(), function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Func001A )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_001 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, 30.02 )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions )
endfunction

all you got do do is make a trigger then add ability and pick watever, then change it to jass then the spell that you choose (its like Athe, EtpF ect) and change it with Aloc

DUDE! I already answered that!
Please read the thread before replying?! You look stupid like this.

Agh, ugly converted GUI with only 1 change (ability to 'Aloc', what I said in the first place).
This is quite horrible, sorry

Ya I know it is but I through it together in like a sec and didn't feel like really doing it.

Sorry for necro-posting but you had a good discussion on the topic here.

How would I add Locust, not to triggering unit, but to a unit stored in a variable array called NPC[1]?

 

[sPy]

I think it is

call UnitAddAbility(udg_NPC[1], 'Aloc')

for global variables

call UnitAddAbility(NPC[1], 'Aloc')

for local variables
