Is there a way to hide a spell?

I've tried to make an invisible aura, but thats what happend.

Is there some way to hide this button? Some units have skills that are hidden (For example Fenix)

Set its position to 0,-11 in the Object Editor and that should do it.

I think there is a function in GUI that does that in the newest patch iirc.

How do I do that? (I can't change the Y position to -11)

1 - File --> Preference --> Allow negative values in the object editor
2 - Hold Shift and click on the field you want to use the negative value

Is that fully crash-resistant? Like, isn't it guaranteed to not cause issues?

If you do not like that way then you can put the ability in a spellbook then disable that spellbook for all the players?(the abilities will still exist and be on that unit and work if they are passive but they will be within a spellbook you can not open)

According to LeandroTP, (0, -11) is safe because it'll point to a safe location in memory. Though, the only downside is that it doesn't work for 1.27 versions of the game. Back then, Blizzard made any negative number be ignored by the game. Back in 1.28, they made it possible again, though it only accepts that coordinate or a big integer, the rest is ignored.

1.28 Patch Notes

Bug Fixes

• Fixed WorldEdit to include proper icon and strings for Map Script Validation
• Fixed command cards to be hidden again with special coordinates (0, -11) and (-2147483648, -2147483648) within CommandFunc.txt; invalid coordinates will now be ignored
• Fixed disconnects from Battle.net at the conclusion of games
• Fixed the cinematic player to keep the entire video on screen at any resolution
• Fixed an issue that prevented Windows GameDVR from functioning properly
• Fixed various bugs and exploits

I can't say how Mac reacts to that coordinate prior to 1.27 version.
