Invisibility that uncloaks only after attack commited

[ToldYouSo]

So, the problem is, the hero that is under invisibility (shade ability, that get uncloaked after attacking or spell casting), has some sort of "backstab ability", that lets you make critical attack if you attacked an enemy in his back.
BUT the unit can react and turn his body before an actual attack appear, so it's not actually possible to backstab anyone from invisibility.

Still I dont wanna change "shade" ability to the one that lets you attack and cast and remain inivisible. I'm seeking for some possible simple way you to have invisibility that still lets you get uncloaked when casting ability but giving a unit a time to do first attack still being invisible.

Use Permanent Invisibility and Remove/Disable it temporarily whenever you cast a spell using triggers.

I thought about it, yeah it's cool, but as I remember, any invisibility has something like "fade animation" before getting invisibility. If I will immediately remove and then return invis ability, would not be a problem of unit getting "faded" immediately?

Fade time can be set to 0, if that's what you're worried about. Otherwise, I doubt disabling it and enabling it will somehow bypass the timer.

Im not planning to disable or enable ability, but I'd rather make removing and adding invisibility. Would not be that better?

One more thing, my friend. It's out of current topic, but I dont wanna spam the forum with questions.

I've found that there's much discussion about how to make local sound without desync, like here

[JASS] - Sound for Local Player

I did some searching around for how to play a sound for a single player, but I'm going to need to clarity on how to do that. My situation: I'm converting GUI triggers into JASS, and I used to have a QuestMessageBJ to inform the player of stuff. I quickly changed that into a...

So, do you know the 100% proper way? Should I set a volume, or change the string of file, or do any other way?

Local player sound: 0% volume seems safest, because it causes all the side-effects of playing (internally in game engine) to execute.

So you suggest


If GetLocalPlayer() != PlayerINeed
set volume = 0.
endif
call PlaySound

Like that?
Are u sure? Because I really dont wanna mess up with desync. Coz I cant even test it with someone.

 

[ToldYouSo]

I head about sound engine is kinda changed in 1.29+, but I wanna local sound compatible with both 1.26 and modern version, So i'd better do the universal way, or wont play local sound at all.

Anyway, the topic is solved. I'll address my question to a new one
