[General] Hide Build Ability Button

[UreDe4D]

Hello,

i have some units which, depending on what mode is selected in the beginning can build some towers.
Now in some cases they cannot build anything. I do this by simply setting the construction limit of the towers to 0.

That works, however now my units have a build button which opens an empty menu, which is kinda annoying.
Is there a way to hide this or can is use a different approach on limiting the construction which does not generate this problem?

What i do not want to do is create copies of all units with and without the building ability.

Any Ideas?

Have you tried the action "Unit - Remove Ability from unit"?
Edit: nevermind, build ability is not a normal ability

It is actually, but its hidden and only accessible in JASS via its rawcode which can be found in Units\AbilityData.slk.

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbilityBJ( 'ANbu', udg_Worker )

or

• Custom script: call BlzUnitHideAbility( udg_Worker, 'ANbu', true )

works like a charm, thanks

There’s another neat way to achieve this functionality that was discovered recently. I see that removing the ability works fine for you but here’s some food for thought:
