"type" of icons

[martin336]

I have noticed that some icons have to be visible. It is impossible to hide them or cover by others.

I found ability "Critical-strike" to have such icon that cannot be overcovered/covered by other icon. (also when icon in object editor is set to "NONE" - then appears green icon)

I did a series of tests and i still cant get rid of Critical-strike icon on my unit.
I tried to give a unit 7 icons to dont have any free space (units has 12 spaces for command buttons - 5 are used for attack/movement), and the i added Critical-strike. It overcover one place immediately. Also i tried to do this in reversed order, fisrt Critical-strike and then others icons....didn't work

so my question is, do icons have some kind of priority that determines which stays at the top?

- i hope this is related to triggers, otherwise sorry for wrong placed thread

Hmm, not sure about the priority thing but if you want to hide it then you would need to put critical strike inside a spellbook and then hide the spellbook from the player.

Its not really.

Just give the unit a skillbook/spellbook, and add the critical there.
Then run a trigger that 'player - hide Spellbook for triggering player' or such.

Hope it helped.

so why does the skill permanent invisibility doesnt show as an icon automatically?

Hey man, im asking here....but you are right, what influences if icon appears or not?
