How to show a unit to ONLY one player?

[Ofel]

I've thinking how to hide a unit and show only to one player, but so far i only found Wind Walk can do this. But is there's another better way?

+Rep for help

I think you can locally set the transparency of a unit. Animation - set vertex coloring. Look for GetLocalPlayer tutorial.

@Maker
the first will really work right?
how to make sure this will work?

 

[Maker]

Test it.

Other players will still be able to select the unit and see its healthbar. You could try to use invisibility and invisibility-detection, i guess that could work...

How?
This is what i did when testing :

Init

• Init
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Locust for Player 1 (Red) at (Point(100.00, 0.00)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Unit[1] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 Locust for Player 2 (Blue) at (Point(-100.00, 0.00)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Unit[2] = (Last created unit)

Order

• Order
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 2.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrder(udg_Unit[2], "channel")

Start

• Start
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Channel
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: casted
    • Set Player = (Triggering player)
    • Set Alpha = 100.00
    • Custom script: if udg_Player == Player(1) then
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Player then
    • Set Alpha = 0.00
    • Custom script: endif
    • Custom script: endif
    • Animation - Change Unit[2]'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with Alpha% transparency

Download the map for more clear...

coordinates do not leak?

 

[Ofel]

@Rheiko
it's just test map, leak is allowed...but not too much...

 

[Rheiko]

hm, okay

 

[Wrda]

It should be like this:

• Start
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Channel
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: casted
    • Set Player = (Triggering player)
    • Set Alpha = 100.00
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Player then
    • Set Alpha = 0.00
    • Custom script: endif
    • Animation - Change Unit[2]'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with Alpha% transparency

And coordinates don't leak... they are real numbers.

@Wrda
Thanks, i did mistake when changing the player... -_-" +Rep and also for Maker
Yeah coordinates isn't leak, but creating location by coordinates is leak
