[Solved] Peon Classification Via Trigger Doesn't Hide Idle Worker Icon Anymore?

[Engrish Rain]

Hello,

I'm not sure if I've done something incorrectly, it has been a while since I've tried this method.

I've tried to add the peon classification via trigger to my hero but the idle worker icon displays.

I then tried adding a trigger to remove the peon classification under the add peon classification. It removes the icon but it no longer disables my hero's auto attack (which is what I want it to do originally).

Lastly, I tried to add the worker classification to my hero through the object editor and then use trigger to remove the classification - again, it removes the icon but it no longer disables my hero's auto attack.

Can someone help me solve how to disable auto acquire enemy to attack? I want the hero to only attack when I command it to attack a certain unit (I've also tried setting both teams to treat each other as allies but that makes it difficult to identify who is the enemy).

Go to Peon in Object editor and scroll all the way down until you find Unit Classification : Worker and put it to empty. just like this.

I don't think you understood what I was trying to achieve. I know that removing it from the object editor will remove the idle worker icon but that's not the thing I'm trying to get at.

I want my hero unit (which isn't a peon) to take the classification of a peon without the idle worker icon. The reason for this is because it will stop auto attacking units that within range.

But the problem is, when I give it the classification through trigger, although it makes the unit (my hero) stop auto attacking units nearby, it also displays the idle worker icon. There used to be a way where you can still apply the peon classification but not have the idle worker icon so that it won't auto attack - the question is, has this glitch been removed from the recent patch updates or have I been missing something?

You want it to build things?

I can confirm that in 1.29.2 game version UnitAddType(whichUnit, UNIT_TYPE_PEON) works. Auto-attack is disabled and no idle worker icon in left corner. I don't know how it behaves in 1.30

If it doesnt work in 1.30 try maybe

To create a unit that ignores all enemies except when it is being attacked you can use 'Apiv' (Permanent Invisibility) with the duration set to -1 and auto acquire attack targets to false. Now the unit won't be invisible but still not auto acquire targets.

Thank you, I'll have a check of the permanent invisibility one but doesn't that mean that they are not visibility to the enemy? Do I have to add vision to the enemy for them to see me?

Becouse of duration set to "-1" unit will be visible, so no need to add vision. You have 1.30 ver ?

Turns out it might have been because I had it on map initialization so that the classification was added before the loading screen therefore making it show the icon. It now works, thanks so much!

I think I'm planning on making abilities that apply invisibility so that's why I don't want to approach the permanent invisibility method in case it bugs with wind walk or whatever spell that I might base my invisibility spells off of.
