Lotus+Hide=wc3 bug ?

[bboy-tiger-]

If i have unit with lotus ability, and i hide unit, then unhide it, it will be selectable again, is this a bug ? Or I'm doing something wrong ?

Try to add the locust ability by triggers again.

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Did it, wont work... ehm. Any other sugestion how to make unit unselectable ?
BTW i gave you +rep coz i saw you trying to help me, on few post already.

Ehm... seems like this works:

-------- Unhide Dummy --------
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 100, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Unhide Titan1_store_Hiden[(Integer A)]
Unit - Remove Locust from Titan1_store_Hiden[(Integer A)]
Unit - Add Locust to Titan1_store_Hiden[(Integer A)]
Unit - For Titan1_store_Hiden[(Integer A)] set ability state to Permanent for ability Locust

I think that Unit - Remove Locust from Titan1_store_Hiden[(Integer A)] debugs it.

 

[bboy-tiger-]

No, in fact you cant remove lotus ability from unit.

wtf is lotus ability

 

[Kingz]

He is talking about the Locust ability not Lotus.
Also i think that you could try storing it into a variable and after unhide add the locust ability to it(maybe even create a spellbook with locust(never tried it) and adding it to the unit).

Y lol, lotus is position of body xD, sry about that, yes you can, you have to add loctus(rofl forgot the name again) and then you haveto make it permanent, but still, wc3 bug is that unit with loc... ability is selectable after you hide and unhide it.

add or remove locust(Aloc) use trigger

edit:custom script

 

[Kingz]

I think you can't remove the locust ability once added, it's a blizzard bug...

 

[Day-Elven]

If there is no way to remove it, why not to replace units?
Just replace unit with the unit of the same type / hp / mp, and the new unit won't have locust ability.

 

[Kingz]

But what if the target is a hero? Wouldn't that then cause him to lose his learned abilities/level and reset his cooldowns at the same time?

 

[Day-Elven]

all hero stats / exp / ablities can be stored in variables.

 

[Kingz]

I knew that, but is there really not a another way?

 

[Eleandor]

The other way is hiding it, removing it, and unhiding it? The only difference between that and replacing the unit as a whole is that you have to drag-select an "unlocusted" unit instead of simply clicking it (oh, and you only see its HP bar by pressing the alt-key). In general, that's not a big problem.

 

[Need_O2]

After Hiding Remove Locust
After Unhiding give it again
I give it %85 chance

if it doesnt work repleace it and then add locust (but I guess you cant repleace coz you would already do that)

 

[Arusar]

u can remove locust using custom script

remove (ability) from unit [make in other trigger and convert to custom text(i do that hohoho)]

and change the ability name in custom script to locust (Aloc)
