Handling unit turn via script with movement ui disabled

[verty666]

Hi,

I'd like to:
1. disable the movement/attack UI of an unit, just leave the spells out.
*Currently I've set the unit movement speed to 0. Setting unitPropwindow doesn't suit me, because it leaves out the movement UI.

2. when I run a script I'd like the unit to turn left / right.
* I've tried using the unit - make unit face angle, however when movement is disabled it doesnt work.
* I've also tried using unit - move to position of unit facing angle - this works but partially, when movement is disabled the unit turned this way is moved around its selection circle in a funny way (see the screenshot attached) (changing the selection circle size to 0 or -1 doesn't quite solve this because it removes health bar).



Is there another way to do this?
Perhaps removing the textures of selection circle?

Hi,

In order to disable move and attack for a unit, you can use custom scripts. Same for facing angle.

• -------- Disabling move and attack for unit --------
• Set Unit = Paladin 0000 <gen>
• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(udg_Unit, 'Aatk')
• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(udg_Unit, 'Amov')
• -------- Facing angle --------
• Set Angle = (Facing of Unit)
• Custom script: call SetUnitFacing(udg_Unit, udg_Angle + 45) (turn right)
• Custom script: call SetUnitFacing(udg_Unit, udg_Angle - 45) (turn left)

It works similiarly to settings the unit speed to 0.

Funny thing I discovered, and I have yet to investigate why - when you set movement speed of unit to 0 the selection circle starts acting up while turning, but when you set the movement speed of hero to 0 it turns without any issues.

Additionally, units vs heroes require less degrees per function call to rotate at same speed. Really weird
