Hide Health Bar

[wolfman]

Is there a way to hide a units health bar besides by making it locust?
I would use locust, but i want to be able to add it to a unit group with trigs.

you can add locusted units to a group via triggers...

1) you can save them into a unit variable then use that variable to add them to a group

2)Locust units can be picked by the action Unit Group - Pick every unit owned by player

Well i want to do

Set TempGroup = (Units within 225.00 of TempLoc)

And that wasn't detecting locust units for me

Is there a way to make that work?

• Game - Enable pre-selection functionality (Disable pre-selection circles, life bars, and object info)

-Disables for all units tho.
--More easy than other triggers.
---Can be done with vJass I think.(Disable for one unit only)

Wow thank you so much lol

EDIT:
I also noticed the thing that disables the ability to select units, is there a way to do that, but still show selection circles?
(i want to select units with triggers, but not allow players to select other units)

Do you use JNGP? if you do, then it's very simple to hide the health bar. just simply SHIFT-Enter the selection circle option of the unit add type -1. a negative value hides the unit's health bar, but still enabling players to select it. =)

Building don't show hp bar.
Keep that in mind.

The other solution would be make its selection scale to 0

 

[RaijinSpark]

The other solution would be make its selection scale to 0

That wouldn't make it disappear completely. besides as far as I know you can't even set the selection scale to 0.

You can still it will create errors!
Hp bar will be show on random places.

 

[Axarion]

I think adding and then removing locust again was the way to go here.

You can't do that using GUI. (You can pick locust)
Still custom script should help.
Examples:

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'AUls', gg_unit_hfoo_0000 )
• Custom script: call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'AUls', GetTriggerUnit() )

But once when you remove locust everything will be normal, once again so that isn't option!

Shift + Double Click method ?

 

[Adiktuz]

as I said, You can pick locusted units with the function that picks units owned by player...

Exactly

Pick unit group and add this below to ad locust to it:

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'AUls', GetEnumUnit() )

Exactly

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility( GetEnumUnit() , 'AUls')

And do you mean 'Aloc'?

Removing Locust from a unit leaves the unit untargetable and unselectable.

If one adds Locust, removes it and then performs instant back-and-forth metamorphosis, a unit won't have selection cicle, it can't be selected but can be targeted.

Then you can hide/unhide it and it will be normal.

 

[Thyrael]

Maker is right. Optinal you can transform the unit by using chaos ability. The preselection of units can be disbaled as well by performing:

• Custom script: call EnablePreSelect( boolean state, boolean ui )

That means, the circle won't be shown when mouse over a unit, as well as the hp bar.

I think that this would be the best way for me. The whole problem with locust is that i have a projectile system, so each unit always has to be able to be selected using the Select Units in Range to see if a missile hits it. And this seems easier than adding/removing locust and all that stuff

 

[AL0NE]

Yes it is. i just don't understand what's with all the triggers by other members for. lol. no offence. peace. =)

LOL, It started simple and got very very complex.

What is locust exactly for?

Locust is used to make units spawned by Crypt Lord's Locust Swarm unselectable (untargetable) and doesn't show their health bar.

so every time there's a related topic, you just make repetition of the same topic in help? sure, if that's convenient.
