[General] Hiding a unit?

[Homor]

I'm making a map that's supposed to have a final boss appear at the very end. I want to hide him until he's good and ready to show up. How can I make it so the unit doesn't show up on the map initially but after a certain trigger is activated becomes visible and can be fought?

There is literally a trigger action called "Unit - Hide unit".
Store your boss in a unit variable, hide it. Then unhide it when you need it to be shown.

I tried that but the unit is still there, completely unhidden. I think "hide unit" is just to keep the unit from getting tagged in certain triggers.

EDIT: Oh my, it works when I use it on the unit instead of the variable it's stored in. I think something went wrong with the variable.

EDIT: I've gotten it working and now I feel absolutely silly. Thanks!

Why do you even want the boss to exist before you reach him?
The boss should be created when you come to him instead of him being hidden all the time.

Have you tried to hide other units? Does it work in the map?
Silly me.
