[JASS] Hiding Health Bars

[BlinkBoy]

hi everyone, I imagine this is a common question. however, I didn't find the solution to this problem after some searching and skimming.

Well to get into the problem, I have some units that I use as missiles. The units have lacost, are invulnerable and collision is zero, but for some weird reason the health bar sill appears. I think it looks odd if a missile has a health bar, does any1 know how to get rid of it?

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

Huh, Locust should remove it. Locust removes my healthbars @_@

 

[Shyhalu]

Try using it like a firearrow type ability rather than a regular missile.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yes locust should remove it. The only time the bars appear when Locust is on, is when something goes wrong with the triggers, bugging parts of theirs, such as the unit-types used for that trigger. Try re-creating the missiles, if this doesn't help you.

Or for the missile in the object editor, set the selection scale to 0.00 (youll find it easilly its in the art section like: Art - Selection scale)

 

[BlinkBoy]

looks like the selection scale worked. Thanks.

But does the selection scale also hide it when you click Alt? I Guess not?

Well, if the selection scale is 0, there's nothing to show?

 

[Anachron]

There is, because even 0 selection means the thing has health, so it would be displayed, whether it can be selected or not.

Edit: Oh btw, even the spider webs in DotA have that problem. You can't fix it.

LordDz, it was not a normal question, it was retorical, for i already know the answer and it Does show when you click Alt. The only solution for that is Locust but since that does not work this is the best i guess.

I lol'ed so hard at this.

use a selection circle of -1 and your problem is solved.

doesn't even pop-up when using alt which is actually the same as permanent health bars ... >_>

Sometimes it just doesn't work, I will laugh when this happens to you, too.

 

[HappyCockroach]

The selection scale will scale its collision shapes along with the health bar? I would like to be able to hide health bars to selectable units...

 

[Element of Water]

You could always import a blank model overriding the health bar model if it's for all units.

 

[Arnadath]

True indeed. but you might not want to hide the health bar for all models

 

[cookies4you]

its easier to do this. set the unit's selection size to the negative version of it. like if its 1.00, make it -1.00

 

[Deuterium]

Weird... Locust should have worked... always did :s

 

[RaiN.]

set Art - Selection Circle - Height < 0 and you'll have a selectable unit with no healthbar.

 

[Anachron]

How many will repeat this? Omg.

 

[Deuterium]

Many i guess...

 

[Arnadath]

Thread answered, everyone happy, rest are spammers

Mine opinion: have a cookie and relax

 

[RaiN.]
