Reverse Vizibility

[MistAssass]

Hi !
I tried all my best on this one but i failed every time, what i wan to do is to make a unit that my enemy will see it with 0% transparency (a.k.a.: normally) and i should see it with 50% transparency (a.k.a.: ghost like) does anyone know how should i do this ? The owner of the unit doesn't concern me ... the unit can be owned by me or my enemy or every other player ...
Ty ! for your time ... +rep to the one helping me !

Use GetLocalPlayer()

...
if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
    call SetUnitVertexColor(YOUR_UNIT, 255, 255, 255, 50)
endif
...

That should work.

That should indeed work. But to put more simply :

Say for instance you want the hero to become transparent when he learns an
ability.

function Trig_Set_on_Abt_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetLearnedSkillBJ() == 'Your Ability ID' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Set_on_Abt_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    set udg_Unit_Transperant = GetLearningUnit()
    set udg_Player_Number =  GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetLearningUnit()))
    call SetUnitVertexColorBJ( udg_Unit_Transperant, 100, 100, 100, 100.00 )
    if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
    call SetUnitVertexColor( udg_Unit_Transperant, 255, 255, 255, 50 )
endif
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Set_on_Abt takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Set_on_Abt = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Set_on_Abt, EVENT_PLAYER_HERO_SKILL )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Set_on_Abt, Condition( function Trig_Set_on_Abt_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Set_on_Abt, function Trig_Set_on_Abt_Actions )
endfunction

if you are new to jass just create a new trigger, go to edit and click on the convert to custom text. *Note - If converted it cannot be changed back *

You can create a variable named Unit_Transperant or change the Unit_Transperant varible. Now set the Ability ID to the ability you learned.
The Player_Number is a integer variable that tells which player learned the ability.

I an just a beginner with JASS so there might be a error, but I doubt it coz I tested it before posting.

Hope it helps.

THAT'S ALL !? O_O LAWL ... ty a lot !
So player 0 is the casting player ? ... can this be used by all players (red,blue,....grey,dark,green) ?
Trying it now ...

 

[Justify]

Player(0) is player 1, blue. Casting player would be "GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())"

 

[MistAssass]

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then

ok like this ?

 

[Justify]

exactly

 

[MistAssass]

ty a lot ... i see it semi transparent but i do not know about the other players ... but i think its ok ... thank you all i think the problem is solved ... i will post here again if it doesn't go well in multiplayer ... ty again !

50 != 50% 255/2 == 127 == 50%

 

[The Reborn Devil]

50 != 50% 255/2 == 127 == 50%

Oh, I thought the transparency went from 0 - 100. Hehe..

 

[Lord_BoNes]

Player(0) is player 1, blue.

I'm afraid that you are incorrect there... Player(0) is Player 1, Red.

 

[MistAssass]

does it even matter ?! ... the sh*t is solved ... and everyone is happy !
