[Solved] How to hide icon but spell still work

[trolly056]

I want to hide the icon of the skill but i want to the skill still work with the keyword(which is F), so if the hero press F the skill will be casted. Is there a way to do that ? I tried with Spell Book but it didn't work, the skill wasn't casted

Make the icon the same color as the theme of the game. If you did not change the theme of the map, then I think you could make it black, or make a color more matching the normal theme.

EDIT: Here's an example of what you could do.

This is an example of an icon, make an icon which is pure black colored, so that when you add that skill to the hero, it would make it look like it doesn't have any skill at all, you could also try taking a screenshot of the hero's empty skill slots, and make it as an icon, so it really looks like it doesn't have any skill at all.

Which would still be clickable and you cannot get rid of the tooltips properly.

He didn't say it had to be unclickable, he just wanted the icon to be hidden.

Yes. I read this too and came across the idea but I doubt that's what TC wants. The ability is not very well hidden when the player can see its existence by moving the mouse over or trying to click it. Also, this requires a free slot in command field nonetheless.

Or make the thing completely trigger-based and use triggers to check if the unit has that spell leveled, then add the ability to the unit when "F" is pressed and remove the ability from him again. Although I think you would need to use jass/vjass to check the "F" button and the whole thing could become complicated.

u tryed channel and make same base order id than ur ability and let channel invisible, and put ur real ability to spellbook and hide that, so if u press the hiden channel ability hot key then activated ur ability in spellbook if both have ame base order id

(just theory, still not tryed, only what i know is i can order hidden channel ability, still idk if also work the hotkeys too for hidden ability or no)

It's possible do check if the player pressed "F" with jass or vjass ? And i don't want to just the icon to be hidden, i want the hole skill, but i wanted it to still be able to be casted by pressing F. I will try what shadow said, even that i didn't undestood well.

Not possible. You can only detect arrow keys and ESC.
