Hmm i could. But ive seen it done before differently.

Oh i just had an idea, i could make a unit with no model, no shadow etc, but make it have collision. then put the unit WITH the model that i want, have locust, on top of the unit with no model. Will this work? Or can you still select units that have no model.

lol wut. Are you sure my way doesnt work? :O

I mean have a unit with no model, place it on top of the unit with a model & locust. So it will look like the unit with locust has collision.

  • Events:
    • Unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions:
    • Unit type of (Entering Unit) equal to (Ismo)
  • Actions:
    • Set IntegerVar = (IntegerVar + 1)
    • Set (Entering Unit)'s Custom value = (IntegerVar)
    • Add (Entering Unit) to UnitGroupVar
    • Create Destructible at (Position of (Entering Unit))
    • Set DestructibleArray[IntegerVar] = Last Created Destructible
  • Events:
    • Every 0.10 seconds
  • Conditions:
  • Actions:
    • Pick every unit in UnitGroupVar and do multiple actions:
      • If, Then, Else
        • If - Conditions:
          • (Picked Unit) is Dead equal to True
        • Then:
          • Kill (DestructibleArray[(Custom value of (Picked Unit))]
        • Else:
 
^why would u want that? :D obviously you can still select it.

my guess is to create a destructible at the units position when he enters the map, store it in his custom value (or do some jass stuff) and when hes dead kill the destructible also.

Both this 2 ways are true and all other will cause MANY troubles!!! i means that u could still quick select the unit and order it to move and make lag because it check 10 times in a second this is worst way that you have chosen please use one of the mantioned in that post.
