[General] removing locust

[Paillan]

I couldn't find the tutorial that explained how to remove locust. Can someone tell me the custom script?

remove completly is impossible, but you can hide the unit and then remove the locust(Unit - Remove Ability from Unit) and then unhide it. This will still make it not have health bar and some more weirdiness

Actually it is possible to remove locust.
You need to track the unit with the locust ability in a variable.
Then use this:

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility( udg_Your_Unit, 'Aloc' )

To remove the locust ability again.

This + unit transformation (passive or active)

Informative link. Truth be told, I have never had to remove the locust ability.
I should have figured that something would bug, knowing the editor...

Although it does what is asked. Removes locust

well yea that is fair point it does remove the locust, but the unit is not in state it was before adding locust(visually, that is)

 

[Paillan]

yes I was searching for that custom script. that you.

You're welcome.
Now I don't know what you need the unit, you are removing the locust from, for. But you should consider what else have been said in this thread.
