How to make units invisible while in a region?

[Steel0RaZoR]

Well I'm making map n I need help with something I'm sure most of you have played league of lengends well for my map I want the feature where they hide in the bush n enemies can't see them unless they are in a bush as well. Is there anyway to do this?

 

[deathismyfriend]

you can do this by event unit enters region
unit - hide unit

The answer would be yes it is possible.
I can give you an example but it's definitely not very efficient.
First, create a unit with a Grass/Shrub model.
Second, give it the "locust" ability so it is not clickable (now acts as a doodad).
Third, put the grass/shrubs around the map.
Fourth, make the trigger.

Here is a test map: --- To be updated ---

Edit: There are more sophisticated methods but with my way, once you are detected, everyone else will be able to see you due to the enemy's allied shared vision. We could do a bunch of locally coloring your unit 100% transparent and this and that and locally hiding yourself from mini-map to other players blah blah blah but I'd rather not.

Yes, there is a way, matey! Create regions for each grass regions in your game then as what death said, hide them. I might give a test map too.

Hiding a unit does not remove it from the game. The unit will still autotarget enemies and attack/move. They won't be able to retaliate.


To efficiently make what you need create a unit and give it the enviroment model that blends, in this case the bush,high grass or whatever. Make the unit unselectable (locust, -1 to selection circle, or a simple trigger to unselect it when clicked uphon).

So:
1. Make grass-unit
2. Make it unselectable
3. Create a spell based of the Sorceres's invisibility.
4. Make a trigger when a unit comes in X range of the grass, cast invisibility on it. Duration of invisibility should be a lot.
5. Make a trigger when a unit leaves the range of the grass to remove the invisibility buff.
6. Have fun


p.s. To be able to see other invisible units while in bush , create a dummy with true sight the same way as above. Give it to entering player, kill it when he leaves the bush. (this might cause some problems if you got a invisible hero (e.g. twitch like) entering the bush while stealthed)

What I was trying to say is to just make the unit invisible while in the bush something like wind walk.

I found this trigger but I don't know if its is ok to use.

 

[HesitationSnow]

I have a test map completed except the enemy detection... almost there.

When a unit enters grass regions, give him ability Invisibility?

Buff it with invisibility. (and possibly true sight , so multiple players under one bush can see each other...otherwise the bush would act as a safe spot)

Yes.

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

How will I do that?

 

[HesitationSnow]

I am nearly done with the system, please wait a bit.

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

Ok

 

[Almia]

unit - hide unit

Fail

It hides the unit,and there's no way you can't track it. He wants invisible bro.

 

[HesitationSnow]

Finished test map. Blue is an enemy but you can control him to test the system.

There are lots of ways to go about it and this was my approach.

Sorry if it isn't to your liking.

I can recreate a better one using regions but that will require a lot of manual setup by the mapmaker.

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

Nice man! Thanks a lot.

 

[Almia]

oJust realized that you want the effect the same like LOL.

Humanity must have more uniqueness, more uniqueness. Please give them.

 

[Chewii]

Yeah Almia like "Horde Studio" Very unique indeed don't you agree?

 

[Almia]

Well, It is unique. We have Member Rankings, Shops, Experience and Levels, Activites and Games.

Horde Studio looks like Hive because it uses vBulletin too. Look at Wc3c,looks like Hive too right?
