Max mana and movement questions

[Rybak]

Heloes Hive Workshop!
I mean to create a turn-based RPG map, and so I have some questions. It is possible that they were already asked on this forum, but I could't find it.

Firslt, is there a way to make unit unable to move? I mean, not stun it or something, but completely delete the ability to move via right-click order. And removing all move icons from interface? If not, any ideas on how to make it work and look good? What I need actually is a normal hero moving around the map, but, when fighting, she will be teleported to the set battleground (hex-based) and made unable to move. But, on her turn, she would be able to use a spell-like ability targeting a free tile after what the trigger would give her her move ability back and order to move to given point immobilising aftewards again.

The other problem is that I mean to make every unit have Action Points which will inable them to use their skills and move. These points would be like mana in normal warcraft. They would have a cap of some sort, but it would be able to give yourself some points with skills or items thus increasing the cap. Getting to the point: is there a way of not showing the max mana on the mana bar? I mean, instead of showing 100/100, the game would simply show 100?

Thanks in advance!

You can use SetUnitPropWindow(unit u, 0) to disable the unit's movement temporarily. However, remember to save it beforehand with GetUnitPropWindow(unit u). Set back to the original value to enable movement again. You can't black out the command card except for pausing it though.

About the mana, I don't think there is a way to do so.

Moving
Yes u can use custom script for this. I believe it's
call SetUnitPropWindow( unit, 0)

To set the unit to be able to move after that u have to use the getunitpropwindow fire and set that to a real array so u can load it again later.

Edit: doomlord beat me to it lol

Can we also made this : call SetUnitMoveSpeed( u, 1 ) to make the unit stop moving ?
I know there is still the icon but for a root it works ?

Thanks, I'll try this with movement.

Since I can't remove the icons temporarily, can one remove the Patrol icon? Move and Stop are okay. I remember there was something else too, but I can't remember now. I just want to delete the useless ones. Can I do so?

 

[Malhorne]

You can delete attack but don't know if you want it :/
For patrol i don't know ^^

 

[deathismyfriend]

I think u can remove icons in the gameplay constants or the other.

Set unit move speed to 1 will make the unit move very slow but mybe w 0. I never grid it b4

 

[Malhorne]

I heard that 0 the unit could not attack or cast a spell.
I will test.
Okay i just tested : 1 move speed is like a root but you can still turn, attack, cast spells.

I've never heard that b4.

 

[Malhorne]

I just tested 1 move speed works well.
I'll test 0.
Infact it seems that 1 or 0 doesn't make many changes.
In both case you can turn, cast spell, attack.

 

[Rybak]

Okay then, thank you, this was very helpful.

 

[Malhorne]

You're welcome !

That's good to know but did u make sure the unit can't move ? With 1 it will still move. The thing is how long is it supposed to be still ? If the unit isn't supposed to move for a long time then even a 1 movement speed may screw things up. Also does a 0 movement speed actually stop the unit

 

[Malhorne]

I didn't try the time a unit need to move with 1 move speed XD.
Maybe i will in the train saturday when i'll be bored ^^

 

[deathismyfriend]

Lol ok let me know what u come up wih plz

 

[Malhorne]

I'll tell you if i do this ( normally this week end ) !
