Lock attacks

[ANdROnIQ]

Help me, how can I lock the unit's possibility to attack with a trigger? Like for the button to be marked grey, as banished units have. I'm making an RPG, and i want to deny heroes attack without weapon.

Could you just not make a trigger that says: If hero don't have weapon in inventory (if unit attacks) then order hero to Stop

• NoAttack
• Events
  • Unit - A unit is Attacked
• Conditions
  • Attacking unit is a Hero and does not have Item in Inventory
• Actions
  • Unit - Order Attacking Unit to Stop

That should do it

EDIT: Corrected conditions and events

That would be ridiculously laggy I would imagine. I have no idea how to do this to be honest but I would suggest you might try making a custom ability based on the Ethereal Form/Corporal Form pair of abilities. Obviously you would need to remove all the graphic effects and such and just leave the field that stops the ability to attack. You'd need to hide the ability in a spellbook or something to stop the player casting it themselves, then use a trigger to order the unit to cast it when it acquires or loses a weapon, and so flicking the hero between being able to attack and not. Like I said though I really have no idea if that would be any good or not but might be worth a try.

Eh, this will also prevent others from attacking the Hero, anyway. I cannot cast ethereal staying corporeal. But maybe I should say they just treat him as a pacifist? ^^
And this fint with locked spellbooks... maybe it would be better to give Hero a powerup item wih the ability (which will be used instantly, even no inventory space is required), but will it stay long? How can we mark the time of re-corporeating?

or an invisible Global Cloud

It is [Solved]. We just have to cast Silence on the Hero, with "Lock melee attacks" and "Lock ranged attacks" flags turned on.

P. S. It would have 0 seconds duration to last forever (it means until we dispel it with a trigger). And requirement of Hero level 6 (make ability heroic ->set requirement -> return ability to non-heroic) to break spell immunity. And somehow make the spell undispellable, or renew it when it is didpelled.

Cloud = Undispellable?
