I'm using this to create a sun in a 3rd person camera map. But sadly the ''sun'' is a unit and it's selectable in game. How do I make it unselectable? ( Not sure where to post this :S )

If the suns is a Unit, give it the locust abillity, if its a doodad, mark the selectable in game to not

Just add "Locust" ability to the Sun unit, and it wont be selectable nor attackable. And you wont have to use any triggers to achieve it, just add the ability.

It works! But when I hold the mouse over the ''sun'' that health bar still appeares. Is there a way remove the health bar?

 

[raft_pl]

I think that there is a setting to enable it to show the health bar, but im not sure

art-selection scale -1

i thinks this will work, or make it from neutral building like fountain of life ...

 

[darkrider]

make it invulnerable... that will remove the bar... if that doesnt work make it invulnerable and a building

Just a comment here... Megafyr, those screenies look f*cking awesome. I'm impressed there, and that's saying quite alot. It usually takes a bit to impress me.

You've done very well to make a map like that. The only question I have about it is: "What's the FPS like?"

Thanks guys, I got it right now!

Dunno if I'm gonna make a FPS or not.. But I promise, if I'm gonna do that, it's gonna be sick!

LOLZ!

By FPS I was meaning Frames Per Second. But, yes that would be sweet as a First Person Shooter... The reason I was asking about your FPS was because of the fact that there is SOOOOOOOOO much detail in those screenies (nice looking grass, trees, etc.) I would expect all that to at least slow a system down... A whole lotta polygons = a whole lotta lag.

Anyways, awesome work. Keep it up.

Oh.. Lol^^ My mistake. Well, I think it does affect the fps, but the view distance is selectable. On my system it doesn't lag anyway.

Thanks to this thread I learned something new. I never knew that units can be incorporated into a part of a landscape.

Awesome, stunning terrain. Keep up the great work

You really didn't know that???

It was one of the first things I learned when editing Wc3. But, I'm an "outside the box" kind of thinker, so that may be why...
