How to disable move function?

[Norad III]

I've seen many maps (forgot which one) where there is no move function in my units, only attack and stop button and thus I can't move them around. How can I disable the move function of my units?

 

[Diablo-dk]

First of all go to gameplay constants, and find the field called Minimum move speed and set it to 0. Then set the move speed of the unit you want to be immobile to 0.

you dont need to set the minimum move speed to 0.
It's enough to set the units move speed to 0 or remove the ability to move with jass:

call UnitRemoveAbility( whichunit, 'Amov' )

Setting movespeed to 0 will disable ANY type of movement, e.g blink, normal movement ect.

If you want to be able to turn and move via abilities set move speed to 1.
That way its hardly moving but can still turn/blink.
@Diablo - Interesting... So you can remove the actual movment ability ( is that what its doing? )
I think War3 does just that when setting movespeed to 0?

 

[L_believer]

call UnitRemoveAbility( whichunit, 'Amov' )

Off-Topic: Move ability is Amov, what about others like defend, attack or hold position?? I wanna try a game which you remove the attack ability and make a storm bolt ability named attack, sound fun for me

 

[Kixer]

To do that you can just set the units damage dice to 0 and 0.
Unless you only want to use stormbolt as your attack for a short time then this is perfect, the unit will have no damage or attack ability.
But i was also wondering what the ones for attack,defend,patrol,sight ect are?

Then don't post until DragoonZombie answer, why? Because I has been write the same question a half hours faster than you

 

[Kixer]

I know you posted before me believer, i just wanted to show that i also wanted to know what the abilities are.

 

[L_believer]

I waiting for 1 day now, what happen on earth?? Did he only know move command?

 

[Norad III]

I wanted my unit to move by using triggers but me myself cannot move it to where I wanted. Also, I don't know what is jass can someone explain?

 

[Tonks]

Have a trigger so that when your unit is ordered to move, you order it to stop.

 

[Kixer]

That wouldnt work tonks, what if you ordered your unit to cast a spell and he moved to get to the target?

@Norad - that little bit of script removes the "movement" ability from the unit, makeing him unable to move.

 

[Norad III]

I just want to retain the movement and movement speed of each units and I use triggers to move them around but I cannot move them to wherever I wish. When I use this trigger, it crashes the game when I tried to move a unit.
Events:
Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 is issued an order targeting a point
Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 is issued an order targeting an object
Actions:
Unit order (ordered unit) to move to (center of region 000)
Anyone can help?

Attack - Aatk
ARal - Rally Point (Buildings)
Amov - Move
Adef - Footman's Defend

As for Stop and Hold Position, I don't think you can remove them by not removing Move. You can completly disable a unit by using the Pause function.

• Unit - Pause (Unit)

 

[DragoonZombie]

when you remove the move ability ( [highlight]Amov[/code] ) you're also removing [highlight]Patrol[/code], [highlight]Hold Position[/code], [highlight]Stop[/code] and if the unit has no attack [highlight]Move[/code] too.
If you just want to hide the attack button, then go to object editor and turn "Combat - Attack x - Show UI" to false.

Heres a small list of abilities you cant find in the abilities category, but in the Add Ability list.

Attack - Aatk
Move - Amov
Locust - Aloc
Hero - AHer
On Fire - Afir
Turret - Attu

Try to remove the Hero ability from a hero and move the cursor over the hero. What do you think will happen?

Solution

Fatal Error!

 

[Rui]

Yes, I forgot to say that exactly; you cannot remove Hold Position and Stop without removing Move, at least, not that I know.

How can I remove all the button icons (move,attack move,patrol) without interfering with other things? I just want to restrict the user from moving or stopping the unit at his own will.
Anyway, whats wrong with the trigger i show above? Why does the game crashes?

 

[Red Orca]

Is it a hero you are trying to stop, or a normal unit?

If its a normal unit, couldn't you use:

Unselect unit for hero

With the condition Is a hero = false?

You can give the unit the "Ward" classifications ( dont know if spelled right ), but that will hide the entire UI of the unit ( like spells ) and you can only order the unit with rightclick. And Vexorian made a super order stop for his Selection System, where you can do nothing with the hero, but select. No sure if i'm allowed to post the trigger here ( JASS ). Could be done in GUI too.

I dont see any troubles with the trigger. Maybe some other trigger crashes the game.

What if you add the Hero ability to a unit?

-*meow*

nothing will happen. Why dont try it for yourself? ^^

The unit I'm trying to limit is a normal unit, not a hero. The player owns the unit, but shouldn't be able to give it orders. I move the units with some triggers so I don't want the players to move them but the units should be able to move at their own speeds.

Something must be wrong with the trigger. The trigger crashes everytime you move your unit. Even though I made a new map with no triggers, it still crashes the game so it must be something to do with the trigger.

 

[PurplePoot]

Dragoon, all Vex's trigger does is reorder the unit if it's ordered "smart"

 

[DragoonZombie]

hmm.... The only solution left for me is making a periodic deselect trigger.
Since the select event takes 1 - 2 seconds you can make it check every 0.x seconds.

• No Order
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.04 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) matching ((((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
          • Then - Actions
            • Selection - Remove (Picked unit) from selection for Player 1 (Red)
          • Else - Actions

Thanks for the trigger. I don't think I need the hero-false part cause my map have no heroes. How to do the loop part? I can't find it. Is there any way to make the units ignore the orders? Cause using this trigger I fear that it will make my map lag cause it keeps checking for the conditions.

And Purplepoot, isn't the trigger I posted before is reordering the unit when its ordered? What's wrong with it? Seems correct but crashes even when I use it in a new map with nothing else.

 

[DragoonZombie]

its "Pick every unit and do multiple actions" or s.th. like that. The loop comes then automatically.

 

[Norad III]

I've managed to create another trigger that almost solve my problem.
Events
Unit - A unit owned by player 1 (red) is issued an order targeting a point
Actions
Unit Group - Order (Units currently selected by (Owner of (Ordered unit))) to move to (center of region 000 <gen>)
Using this trigger, it moves the units selected but when I move multiple units it becomes so laggy. Any help?

 

[paskovich]

I shouldn't lag, but it should crash...
Look at the event and the action. It's a deadly circle. Insert two lines, disable/enable trigger.

• Events
• Unit - A unit owned by player 1 (red) is issued an order targeting a point
• Actions
• Trigger - Disable (This trigger)
• Unit Group - Order (Units currently selected by (Owner of (Ordered unit))) to move to (center of region 000 <gen>)
• Trigger - Enable (This trigger)

+Remove the group leak!

And btw, how did this trigger solve your problem?

 

[PurplePoot]

Paskovitch, just add a

Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

easier to understand, since you don't need any funky group variables and such

 

[Norad III]

Thank you Paskovich. The turn off and on trigger solves it. Just wondering what is the logic behind it. The trigger is turned off but you can still move the unit??? How is that possible?

This trigger solves the problem by making the unit go to the specified place even though the owner move, attack, attack move, stop, hold postion or patrol the unit. (added order targeting an object and order with no target to the events)
