[Trigger] Hide Firepit or Torch

[communist_orc]

Heho,

Quick question:
Hiding/unhiding destructables like Barrels, trees & gates is easy. But how can i hide a Firepit via triggers?

Thx, communist_orc

A doodad... :O
Blizzard's trigger list is missing his option...
I'll study the functions a bit more to see if there is any possibillity

 

[communist_orc]

Yeah, itz a Biatch! Totally gonna sue Blizzard^^

You could try a littel workaround.

You could add a animation, where you actually cant see the doodad. (should be no problem, as you know how to model ^^)
Then you create a new doodad, and give it your fire pit with new anim.

Then you could use the Trigger Action
ANIMATION - PLAY DOODAD ANIMATION IN REGION

You just select PlayableMap and set the animation, wich "hides" the pit.

To show it again, run the same action and type in "Stand"

Its a bit complicated, but it would work.

Greetings

Or just use a destructable. Doodads are drawn on to the terrain, destructables are actually objects; to create them at runtime, the latter makes sense.

 

[communist_orc]

Yeah but destructables arnt that... Emmm Movable. They can only be placed at certian intevals. The object (codename: Firepit) has to be EXACTLY in this one position and destructables can only be placed slightly to the top, bottom left or right...
Thx Tho!

Try to make it as a unit. Add the locust ability as to make it unselectable.

To hide it, just use the Unit-Hide Unit function

Hope this helps.

 

[communist_orc]

Problem with units is dat if you press alt you can see a heathbar....

 

[Vercas]

Making it a destructible and removing it's Path Size makes it placeable anywhere...
And for units to not walk on it set it's collision...

Problem with units is dat if you press alt you can see a heathbar....

Adding the Locust ability will remove it. Or else we will be seeing health bars flying all over the place in melee maps when the Crypt Lord uses his ultimate...

thats a nice idea too.

Destructables are even without Pathing Size not placable as good as Doodads.
Just try it @ the guys, that recommand it.

Thx for the help quys!
