Removing text above unit that says who owns it

[LazyCoder]

I'm in desperate need to have this removed for my map. You know that thing that appears above units when you have your mouse over them that says what player owns them? I can't have that in my map.

I don't think this is removable,even you remove the text an empty box will always exist there when you move you mouse over the unit.

Like he said, the box will still exist, just don't put names to your units and it's ok. Try searching for the file doing it in the wc3 folder???

No the PLAYER name appears above the unit when you hold your mouse over it. I can't have that in my map.

 

[LazyCoder]

Hmm... now hang on a minute... does this text change when you change the player's name via triggers?

 

[DocDude]

i think you can try to give all the players the same name (or name them ""). but it can be confusing in all kinds of situations (like in chat). so you should think of how to deal with it.

 

[reason 3]

I repeat myself LazyCoder ...you can set the players name to "nothing" just an empty blank,this way the player's name won't appear but the empty box will still exists...

You could do that, and to enable chat with the names you could save all player names in start with variables. Then show the variable when a player writes.
Example: Player one is named: ""
You save "" in a variable for player one and then change his name to "" (blank)
Everytime player one writes a message, display the name of player one's variable too.
I think this will work, as ive seen multiple maps using such systems.

That's what I'm already planning on doing actually.

Is there any way to replace the images that make up the box with a fully transparent image to remove the box? Does anybody know what images need to be replaced?

UI\Widgets\ToolTips\Human\human-tooltip-background.blp and
UI\Widgets\ToolTips\Human\human-tooltip-border.blp

You can also make it like this:

This will hide all pre-selection functions (including player name).

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Enable pre-selection functionality (Disable pre-selection circles, life bars, and object info)

Note that this will remove health bars.

 

[LazyCoder]

I would prefer to keep the health bars there.

I'm having trouble getting the textures to replace properly. I modify them in the game interface, but the texture doesn't change. I even extracted those particular textures, blacked out the rgb and alpha, then re converted them to blp, and imported them, yet they still won't work.

EDIT: nevermind I got it. It didn't like me changing the name in the custom game interface screen, so I instead changed the path in the import manager.
