Hiding base unit spells without spellbook?

I wanna hide the icons for the spells like "Move", "Attack", "Stop" and etc to make room for more abilities.
This has been a desired feature for ages, with no real "out of the box" solution available, but seeing how a bunch of natives allowing manipulation of the UI has been introduced recently, it got me wondering if it's possible to hide these buttons by now.
If not, is there a different way to achieve a similar result? Preferably something that uses the standard features of WE/JASS/LUA to ensure compatibility with future patches and Reforged.
I know that spellbook is an option, but that actually disables the standard spells rather than just hiding them, so it kinda impairs movement a bit.

  • Move, Patrol, and Hold Position can only be removed by removing the 'Amov' ability, and doing so renders the unit unable to move at all.
  • Attack can be removed by setting the "show UI" field to false for all units' attacks in the OE.
  • Stop cannot be removed at all.
  • For some reason the 0,-11 button position doesn't work for these abilities.
  • The closest you can get is this: How to get rid of Patrol and Stop - Wc3C.net
  • Search and go down the rabbit hole: Removing/Hiding order icons
The UI natives existing doesn't alter this in any way as their appearance was always editable through MiscData.txt, though now you can reflavor them to look and read however you want ad-hoc. This doesn't do much and also forces you to intercept the orders given and issue the 'right' one. If every unit in your map had 2 no-target and 1 unit/point targeted abilities they needed then yes you could reskin those orders to look like whatever those would do in the map.

Alright, so I guess in other words, nothing much has changed.
You did post a few interesting ideas that I will look into though. I think I wanna avoid a super hacky workaround, as I don't percieve the added value to be greater than the amount of issues that it'd likely add, but it certainly helps to know which options I have at my disposal.
Thanks!

Try this approach (1.29+)

JASS: 
// disableAbility, hideAbility are boolean values.
// abilityId corresponds to rawcode
call BlzUnitDisableAbility(whichUnit, abilityId, disableAbility, hideAbility)

// Rawcode for move ability is 'Amov'

Woah, this works? Just like that?
Thanks a lot, will try it later.

Disabling the ability will probably make it unuseable, not just hiding.

A note for custom CommandString, that hiding the move etc will make the ability still work, but the hotkeys won't work anymore. Might probably depend on map if people want to use hotkeys.

As far as I can tell, the command has 2 booleans, one for hiding, one for disabling.
Doesn't this means that you could set "disable" to false and "hide" to true?

As for hotkeys. Wouldnt it be possible to make those work through dummy spells?
Say you have a dummy spell for Hold Position. You just make that spell issue an order to Hold Position. I think hidden spells like channel can still work with hoykeys, but maybe I am wrong. Do you recall?

There is another approach, via using the newer oskey natives (v.1.31+). The principle is that you would want to listen to the moment a key is pressed down. However, this might be more cumbersome on your part.

The native for it goes like this:
JASS: 
native BlzTriggerRegisterPlayerKeyEvent(trigger, player, oskeyType (this is a type), metaKey (integer), onPress (boolean)) returns event
native BlzGetTriggerPlayerKey() -> oskeytype
native BlzGetTriggerPlayerMetaKey() -> integer
native BlzGetTriggerPlayerIsKeyDown() -> boolean

This is for the oskeytype parameter
JASS: 
    constant oskeytype              OSKEY_BACKSPACE                      = ConvertOsKeyType($08)
    constant oskeytype              OSKEY_TAB                            = ConvertOsKeyType($09)
    constant oskeytype              OSKEY_CLEAR                          = ConvertOsKeyType($0C)

Register a trigger to the event when a key is pressed, then manually enforce the desired order. (I think this will only be desirable for orders with no target.)

There is another approach, via using the newer oskey natives (v.1.31+). The principle is that you would want to listen to the moment a key is pressed down.

The native for it goes like this:
JASS: 
native BlzTriggerRegisterPlayerKeyEvent(trigger, player, oskeyType (this is a type), metaKey (integer), onPress (boolean)) returns event
native BlzGetTriggerPlayerKey() -> oskeytype
native BlzGetTriggerPlayerMetaKey() -> integer
native BlzGetTriggerPlayerIsKeyDown() -> boolean

I get the concept, but how do you relate this to a unit? Using the player's current selection? I can't remember, is it possible to get a unit group from a player's current selection?
Also, is there an inherent advantage to doing this over hidden dummy spells (keeping in mind that I have no idea if that would actually work)?

Right, so that would work great for Stop and Hold Position, but I don't know if it would work nicely with targeted actions like attack and patrol. Not that I give a shit about Patrol (I doubt people ever use that outside of competitive melee), but attack ground/target is a pretty big one, so I guess I'd wanna code that one as a spell.
I don't recall ever designing a spell that targets both ground and units, how do I go about determining if the ability targets the ground or a unit? Can I just check if target unit is null or something?

Yeah. If you really want to make sure it isn't targeting anything (point target), check if target destructible and target item are null.

I would treat it like a 'smartcast on release' action as is available in LoL keybinds. Press the key down and you see an indicator hovering on your cursor of the location the order will be issued; release the key and the order is issued. This is entirely feasible with MyPad's [vJASS] - [Snippet] Mouse Utility.

That's nice, but I think I'd be hessitant to use this for "attack". People sort of expect that thing to work with the standard targeting mechanic, I fear the way it's used is too in-grained for most people to appreciate the convenience of smartcasting it.
I'd definitely consider using it for targeted spells in general though, so thanks for bringing my attention to it.

Alright, thanks a bunch.
Say, if I get this thing to work nicely, would it be worth uploading it to The Lab?
I know that this is a feature a lot of people want, but I don't know if someone else has already uploaded something for it.
