[Spell] Invisibility Problem

[TheWhiteWolf]

Hey guys, is it possible to make a unit invisible to all players, visible only to its owner, but in a way that it does not become transparent?

Please, it would really mean a lot to me if someone helped me out here

Wind Walk if other players are ennemies

Otherwise i don't think you can :/

There is an action that can manually set the unit's transparency. You might be able to use that action after the unit is invisible to set it back to its solid form. I'm not sure if this will work, but you can try it.

If I was right, using GetLocalPlayer can make this by making it transparent to all player (thus unseen) and give a new transparent in a GetLocalPlayer block, to make it seen for the owner.

 

[Malhorne]

The function that will set the unit's transparency will set it for everyone.
It uses the alpha canal.

 

[Daffa]

But Not if under GetLocalPlayer block :

GetLocalPlayer = 0
Call function here
Endif

^the function in that block will only apply to the local player (might desync on certain cases)
Note : the function above is example, and I know I'm wrong at many places.

 

[Malhorne]

Ah okay, but there might be some desync :/

1. is it possible to make a unit invisible to all players
2. visible only to its owner

The first one may be possible (when that player's unit doesn't treat other players as allies and contra)
I think the second one is impossible because the owner of an unit and his allies always sees his unit (although it is an image or invisible)

 

[Malhorne]

The first one is possible yes.
The second as i said before i'm not sure at all...

Try turn off UnitShareVision (in 1 direction)
If this does not work set allies give no vision by default (in map properties) and set UnitShareVision manually (in 1 direction)

 

[Malhorne]

Ah yes you can change allies properties nice one

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Okay, I think most of you misunderstood me..

By giving Permanent Invisivility/Wind Walk/etc. the unit will be visible only to its owner and invisible for enemies. I can make it invisible for allies too, it is really not a problem.

I need the unit to be completely visible, without any transparency, to its owner.

 

[Malhorne]

I think it's impossible this way :/
Because you cannot make allies not see your units :/
