Hide unit for player*

[lordsent]

Hi, quick question:

How to hide a unit for only player 1 soo if the unit owner ( for example player 2 ) can still do everthing with it. But they are allies.

Thanks.

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
• unit hide action
• Custom script: endif

Player(0) is player 1 red

Player(0) is player 1 red

Thanks !!

Just note that hiding a unit locally can lead to desyncs as soon as the unit interacts with anything.

You may want to look for a better option, such as abusing invisibility or something.

Yes desync could lead to soooooooooo much bugs :/

desync doesn't create bugs it is cause by bugs and simply kicks the player.

@TO
purge is right sorry about that. I forgot to mention that.

How about 100% transparency for a specific player only? Don't know if it will desyncs too tho.

i don't think transparency will desync but you can only set the variable in the GetLocalPlayer block. Don't change transparency in that block

It won't desync (the unit's alpha is just a visual aspect--doesn't affect gameplay). However, you'll still be able to select them and you'll still have a shadow (if I recall correctly). You can deal with the shadow, but you still have the problem of the unit being selectable.

you can use a trigger to check if a player is selecting a unit that shouldn't be selectable then. but i believe that you would still be able to attack that unit then. unless you check issued orders of all units and check if they are ordered to attack that unit.

well thanks i will try to figure out something. The problem is I am playing with my brother soo i wanted him to not see player 3 units. But we ( 1,2,3 ) players are allies ^^

Take away allied vision?

• The3Alliances
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Make Player 1 (Red) treat Player 2 (Blue) as an Ally with shared vision
    • Player - Make Player 2 (Blue) treat Player 1 (Red) as an Ally with shared vision
    • Player - Make Player 1 (Red) treat Player 3 (Teal) as an Ally with shared vision
    • -------- THIS is the trick --------
    • Player - Make Player 2 (Blue) treat Player 3 (Teal) as an Ally
    • -------- ALLY only wich means without shared vision --------

but before you start you must go to scenario - force properties and uncheck everything in that if you use it (uncheck allied, shared vision etc everything)
hope it helps if this is what you were looking for :O

this will hide every unit of player 3 for player 2 but only when those units are away from player 3 vision sight.
If he wants to hide them even when they are within his vision sight it will not work.

Yes.. i am afraid but yea that doesnt help.

Anyway thanks for the help i think is just imposible to do this in wc3. because the only dificult way i tought was setting player 3 to enemy with player 2. Ally with player 1 ( me ). And then throught triggers making imposible to units of player 3 attack or target units of player 2. Of course setting invisibility to all player 3 units.

Too complicate xD

Yes it's very complicated ^^
