Unhiding units with locust

[Erkki2]

When I unhide a unit with locust, it receives a health bar and becomes selectable. How do I get around this? I need this for dummy recycling, I'm hiding dummy units that aren't currently in use.

could you post the triggers?

A unit with locust will always loose half the effect of locust when unhidden as you've mentioned. In my experience, if you're hiding a dummy unit, then there is no way to unhide that unit while still keeping its locust intact. However I'm no JASS coder so maybe one of those could tell you if it's possible to re-apply the full locust effect by harvesting the unlimited power of JASS or something.

Other than that I would most likely remove and re-create the dummy units (which will defeat the whole point of recycling, right)? An alternative method for unit hiding that you could consider in a situation like this is that of chaging the tramsparency of the unit to 100% by use of Animation - Change Unit Vertex Coloring.

re add the locust as soon after unhiding it.

That is not possible to do in GUI. What's the custom script/JASS code for it?

if i'm not wrong, here it is

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(udg_YourUnitVariable, 'Aloc')

Seems to be working. GG WP JASS saves the day once again. Tell us how you did with it, Erkki2. (=

GG WP JASS

just asking, what is that?

Rephrasing it: ggwp, JASS

Never mind. ^^

hmm.. okay

 

[Erkki2]

Thank you, that works.
