Removing Health Bars

[Spartipilo]

Hi!

I'm making an RPG in wich i want to remove the Health Bars of the NPC, since some of them are supossed to be hidden. I turned them into buildings, and the health bar goes away, but then I can't modify the facing angle of the unit in the editor =/

I'm doing it by placing the unit, and setting the facing angle with Ctrl+Click, and then I turn them into buildings, and remains as that as long as I don't try to modify it, if I do, the unit(building) faces "Default Degrees" again... I'd like to know if there's a better way

Setting selection size to something like -0.1 makes hp bar not show. That has side effects also obviously.

Hehehe... I have already tried that xD Well... there's no problem... I guess I can get used to the method i'm using now.. Thanks!

If you don't mind removing the entire unit's tooltip (healthbar, owning player's name). Then the following will also work for you.

    call UnitAddAbility(u, 'Aloc')
    call ShowUnit(u, false)
    call UnitRemoveAbility(u, 'Aloc')
    call ShowUnit(u, backup)

To explain, what this is doing is adding the "locust" ability to a unit, hiding the unit, removing the locust ability, and un-hiding the unit.

^It has ton of side effects like: unit is untargetable by spells and 'smart' orders.

The units had "Locust" but i was unable to remove them by "Pick every unit" =/ That's why I'm looking for another way to do it.

Right now i did what Maker said, and the health bar doesn't display, but I can pick the fire... with triggers and with the pointer Maybe I could make a trigger.. "If unit is selected" -> Unselect or something like that
