How to remove worker icon?

[SABREWULF]

Yes so my question is when u got in the left corner icon of worker and numbers how much of workers u have i want to remove both but i dont know how. Is any way to do this?

You can make your units not be classified as workers.

As Abovegame said, you can just remove the "Worker" classification (Stats - Unit Classification), but there are some side effects (auto attack won't be disabled and AI won't recognize the unit as a worker).

but i need to have this clasification and i dont want this icon and the number

If you want them to behave like workers, then why do you want to remove the function? It's there for a reason, to make it easier for the player to have effective workers.

I know, this Kind of offtpoic, but which files I have to replace if I want change the Icon/use a custom one?

Then, remove their unit classification from the object editor, and as soon as a worker spawns in your map, you add the worker classification through triggers. They won't be attacking anyone automatically, and also that IDLE icon won't show up.

• Unit - Add classification of A peon-type unit to (Triggering unit)

Well i guess a simple icon will sufice.You can change it in `Gameplay Interface` .There will be a path pointing for the worker icon.Change that to your imported icon.

Ah, I see! thanks for the info!

is there any trigger that allows me to remove icon from workers when they are clasified as a worker in WE????
not to make them workers by triggers

 

[BloodSoul]

No, but why not classify them as workers via triggers? It would be exactly what you want. They won't auto-attack and won't have that icon either.

but i want to make workers clasification from manny units
so i cant just give every single unit this trigger coz there are too manny of them

You don't necessarily need to put every single unit type in a trigger. You could, for example, create an ability that has no effect (item armor bonus - set its value to 0), and add it to every unit that you want to be classified as a worker. Then, just check if a unit has that ability when they spawn or the game starts.

I also noticed that only adding the worker classification to the unit via triggers will not work correctly until they do something (hold position, move, be paused, etc...).

Here's what I've done:

Spoiler: Triggers

When the game starts

• Classify as worker init
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Entire map)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: local boolean paused
        • Set unit = (Picked unit)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Level of Worker for unit) Greater than 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Add classification of A peon-type unit to unit
            • Custom script: if GetUnitCurrentOrder(udg_unit) == 0 then
            • Custom script: set paused = IsUnitPaused(udg_unit)
            • Custom script: call PauseUnit(udg_unit, true)
            • Custom script: if not paused then
            • Custom script: call PauseUnit(udg_unit, false)
            • Custom script: endif
            • Custom script: endif
          • Else - Actions

For when a unit spawns

• Classify as worker spawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local boolean paused
    • Set unit = (Triggering unit)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Worker for unit) Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add classification of A peon-type unit to unit
        • Custom script: if GetUnitCurrentOrder(udg_unit) == 0 then
        • Custom script: set paused = IsUnitPaused(udg_unit)
        • Custom script: call PauseUnit(udg_unit, true)
        • Custom script: if not paused then
        • Custom script: call PauseUnit(udg_unit, false)
        • Custom script: endif
        • Custom script: endif
      • Else - Actions

For some reason, it's not showing the white spaces in the beginning of those custom scripts.
Anyway, as I said before, you either need to move your units or pause them to remove entirely a glitch where they would still attack nearby units.

Object Editor:

As you said, there are many units in your map that should be considered as workers. So, in order to speed up a little bit your "add ability to many units" in the object editor: I suggest that you check the ID of the ability, which you're going to add to the units.

After checking the ID, copy it into your Ctrl + C, but don't forget to add a comma before it - ,A000.

Now, all you have to do is, select a worker unit in the object editor, then its ability field. Hold Left-Shift and press Enter, hit Right Arrow key, then Ctrl + V. Hit Enter again and proceed to the next unit.
