[General] How to Make unit Locust, what is the LOCUST??

[Lembidi]

How to locus unit, wath the maen??
Could be Unseectable unit. How to make unit Locus??

'Aloc' - is the id of Locust ability.

You can add that one via Object Editor, using units ability list feild (just add it from filter window).
Or via triggers:

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(udg_unit, 'Aloc')

Via jass:
call UnitAddAbility(u, 'Aloc')

"udg_unit" or "u" determines unit, which locust ability should be added to.

For completely locust removal you have to use additional actions, because if you want know know hide/remove/unhide only allows given unit to be attacked, but it still can not be targeted by spells.

Use those actions to make it properly:

• Actions
  • Set u = (Triggering unit)
  • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(udg_u, 'Aloc')
  • Unit - Hide u
  • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(udg_u, 'Aloc')
  • Unit - Unhide u
  • Unit - Add Bear Form u
  • Unit - Order u to Night Elf - Druid of Claw: Bear Form
  • Unit - Remove Bear Form from u

You can use any tranformation ability, just set Normal unit to your unit (same type) and Alternative to something else.

Hero passive transformation can be usefull.

Woow, thank's Spin, very much

Is there no Event??

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Event would be anything you want, Begining of Spell, Map Initialization, Periodic Events,...
By the way, Locust ability prevents the unit from being clicked and selected and makes it invulnerable.

And it's Locust, not Locus.

You can add it in Object Editor, as an ability.

 

[ForeverBeADragon]

Locust is normal ability, which you can add it to an unit in Object Editor - Unit (if you want your unit to have Locust in the beginning of the game).
(You can't find it in Object Editor - Ability.)

Locust is cool. It makes the best dummy for spells.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

It certainly does. But I think that, with "Inferno" spell, locust causes the ability to not work properly. Not sure, thought, but I think that there is an example in Defense of the Ancients: a Sorceress hero, I think.

So you're posting this to make people feel sympathy at you and edit your map?

 

[Lembidi]

No, BTW i a noob. i don't know their mean. sory.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Look, you had three different answers for three different questions you haven't even included that you want them, but people were still willing to do that and explain it for you, not to mention the complete and full explanation and answer for your topic question.

What else you want?
Oh, and those tricks do not work in here. You have to be polite instead of a beggar.

 

[Lembidi]

Please, full list of trig

Please, full list of trig

Lol locust is an ability you ain't needing any trigger (except adding them in middle of game).

 

[GangSpear]

Lembidi,i hope you read more tutorials,you always posting some things that really funny lol,i cannot say anything because i don't know how to say...
Locust is useful at using spell,it can make the dummy unselectable,invulnerable too...

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Okay. This is the last time I explain this to you, since we answered all your answers, and even more on top of that. Next question which triggers anything that we already explained to you will make me really angry, and maybe the moderator I will try to call with the report button.

"Locust" is an ability in World Editor, which can actually be found in the Undead Abilities. What it does is that it makes a unit Unselectable, Invulnerable and Magic Immune, as long as the unit has that ability. Those units can still be modified with the Triggers. Locust ability can be added via Object Editor, as a normal ability in the field, or via triggers.

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(udg_unit, 'Aloc')

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(udg_unit, 'Aloc')

Why is Locust useful? Well, it is used to "hide" dummy units that some spell use, or make it wear an aura and move it with a unit, effectively making that unit have the aura, but to not waste an icon slot.

Is everything understandable now?

I have learned all things by my self, when I knowed just one site (worldEditTut). And still I don't find anything new to me, except custom scripts. Witch I don't use even for today ^^ (cose I hate reading books of text). So its easiest way is to ask. I know its wrong thing, cose some kind of other newbie may be created same thread... And you all still runing to help them only for (+rep) so it's isn't theyr fault, cose they dont look for tutorials or threads with same problem it's yours!!!

One more thing, Locust can't be added to unit in game time with triggers like "ADD ABILITY TO UNIT" cose Locust ability isn't simple ability witch could be find in ability list and edited. It's ability witch you couldn't add to unit in the game with triggers (maybe with custom scripts, or JASS...) So if he wants to add ability in game time its hard to him to find something by himself not asking us!

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

@D0W3R,
Locust can actually be found in the ability lists, but it hasn't got any parameters to edit. And asking for a solution of what we already explained - that's rude, by my opinion.

Leave, blind man. Look at my post on previous page and on other responses (not to mention what Apheraz Lucent have just said) and make up your mind.

And you all still runing to help them only for (+rep) so it's isn't theyr fault, cose they dont look for tutorials or threads with same problem it's yours!!!

Crayons, stop writing your crap posts, for God's sake. You are spamming, and not to mention the Troll amount you brought in here, and it's against the rules, it's forbidden. Just... stop. Please.

On topic: I ask from moderators to put solve this thread, since we answered everything Lembidi asked for.

 

[Maker]

People, calm down. No need to turn your frustration into calling people names. If you don't have anything to say related to the problem, you might have to think twice before posting anything at all.

I ask from moderators to put solve this thread, since we answered everything Lembidi asked for.

The thread starter has not signalled he has managed to solve the problem, so the thread will remain unsolved.

 

[Crayons]

Well forgive me Apheraz, but I just can't stop laughing at how unknowingly Lembidi trolled the smarter part of the Modding community.

[06-48-35] Pitakebab: Crayons, i mean it is answered. but he still doesnt get it
[06-50-30] Pitakebab: if someone doesnt even know what "locus" is, you shouldnt tell him how to use custom scripts to use it

yohoho.


To make it simple, in correct english. A locust unit is a unit that uses the ability: Locust. thus making the unit unselectable. The locust ability is found in game and does not need a custom script to be executed.

Kudos to the one who told him this first, but all this raging is tl;dr.

Someone end this.

 

[Lembidi]

Trig please, image.

SORY, IF U DON'T WANT HELP ME, DON'T WORRY, NO PROBLEM.

WATH LOL

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

[Marshmalo]

[Lembidi]

What the fruit is wath?

 

[rysnt11]

Typos...
wath is typos from 'what'
He like to use wath more often than us

 

[Adiktuz]

Just one suggestion, learn to understand english first... if you don't even understand what they are saying, your problem won't be solved... And they already gave you the answer to your question, its just a matter of effort on your side to understand what they said... ^.^

 

[D0W3R]

This thread is ridiculous.... First time when I commented it were like a big problem, next time i almost rofl....

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Ugh... Please don't necropost.
