[Solved] SetUnitScale() desync safe?

[Cokemonkey11]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a way to "hide" a unit without causing a desync, and I'm considering using SetUnitScale() to do it.

Will this cause desyncs? Are there any better solutions?

I need to be able to move the object, so I'm avoiding use of effects.

what about SetUnitVertexColor?
This seems to work when you use the alpha,as seen in Shadow Trail System by Maker

Though,i think this leaves some footprints when you use "walk" animation

Won't desync.

Flying height won't desync either, so you could also just give the unit 2000 flying height.

Why should it desync?

native ShowUnit takes unit whichUnit, boolean show returns nothing

or put the unit in a transporter.

Doesn't work for me because my model has particle effects.

Awesome, thanks - worked perfectly (as long as it in fact won't desync)

Avoiding using ShowUnit because the dummy has locust ability.


Thanks for the help guys, problem solved!
