Help with units

[b_a_d]

Im trying to hide move, stop, hold, patrol buttons. for certain units in a td. i been trying to find out how. i know it can be done because i saw it in castle fight. thx for any help

If you set movement type to none, you will remove the patrol and move buttons, not sure about hold. You could always import a blank icon and use that to make it look like the buttons weren't there, although they would still be functional. Short of that, the only way I know how to hide the stop button is to make the unit controlled by a different player, and you wouldn't want that.

If a unit is classified as a ward, all the buttons are removed, and the player cannot give orders to the unit (right clicking to attack still works).

wow, amazing, i've to try this immediatly
EDIT: in the french WE, they have translated ward by warden... -_-'
EDIT EDIT: that's really great, i love it
EDIT EDIT EDIT: that disable abilities too, i love it a little less :/

In the Object Editor, there is a field with "abilities" somewhere. Remove the "patrol" etc. abilites from that unit.

if u take out the abilities the unit wont move at all and i want them to move to the regions i have set up and not have the player move them from the path

normal (object editor) way:

• to remove the patrol/move/hold button - prevent unit movement in object editor (like buildings)
• to remove attack button, set "combat - attacks enabled" in object editor to none
• to remove stop button, do both things above

there are other ways to do some things - ward ability (mentioned above), also silence and drunken haze (cast by a dummy unit; set duration to 0) can be set to perform different things (you can use drunken haze to disable unit attacks (and hide the button) temporarily)...

to remove the patrol/move/hold button - prevent unit movement in object editor (like buildings)
to remove attack button, set "combat - attacks enabled" in object editor to none
to remove stop button, do both things above

he want to remove the buttons, not the actions
his units still have to be able to move and attack
