Health Bars (not shown for some, or all units)

[Gost]

I have an ability which has a bunch of "moths" spawn and attack a target, and if anyone has the healthbars showing the massive healthbars pretty much block out the cloud of moths so you cant see them.

(TL;DR incoming) How do I make it so health bars aren't shown for some units or if all else fails, for all units.

I don't think you can.. just while using that ability don't put your mouse over a hero..

The problem is that wc3 has an option "Always show healthbars"

Can the moths be controlled or attacked? Otherwise you can add the locust ability to it.

Or you could edit the Health bar pictures, making them total alpha. But hten again. You won't hae health bars at all...

i think the healthbar size is proportional to the untis "selection scale" size. therefore setting the units selection scale to 0, will still make the unit selectable, but you would have to click exactly on the model, wich can be hard. also once selected, you will not be able to see wich moth of the swarm you have selected, since it shows no ring. but healthbar problem would be solved.

Just give the units 'Locust'. Then they won't show bars.

Set the selection size to -1, that will hide the health bar, and the unit is still easy to select + you still got the green selection circle

Just as MeKC said, use shift+enter in object editor so you can set selection size to any number lesser than 0. By the way, any number under zero will work, not only -1

I am aware of the shift+enter deal, I'll set it to -1 and see how that works out for me when WE opens up. Sounds good though thanks.

The moths need to be selectable because they are supposed to be able to be attacked otherwise I would have used locust in the first place.

Thanks though guys for the boom of comments, wasn't sure if there was a way as MeKC said.

EDIT: Very cool, thanks +rep MeKC.
