Why can i still select my dummys even though i gave them locust?

[FriXionX]

This is weird. I used locust fine on 1 of my dummys, but now, on 2 of my dummys, i can still select them. I also gave them Crow Form aswell, and if you change the dummy to crow, THEN back, you cant select them. Is this causing the problem? cant you have crow form and locust at the same time?

Hm make sure both forms have locust ?

 

[FriXionX]

Well, i dont want him to go crow form. I just want to change the flying height, so instead of adding it in the triggers, i just put it in his abilities

ps. thx for the uber fast reply :s

edit: even if i just add locust with no other abilities, the dummy can still be selected, wtf? Why is this happening to only 2/5 of my dummys?

 

[FriXionX]

Bump.
Sure someone must know >.>
+ I Found out the units still have collision aswell...

 

[Reaper2008]

Set the model to "Zone Indicator".

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Delete the unit... Create a new unit... add locust... try again

 

[FriXionX]

Cant do that reaper, i want the model to be something else
Ill try that Azazel

 

[FriXionX]

It still doesnt work. I can still select it! what the hells going on?
Shall i post my map?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

let's sum up:

You have unit
with the ability locust.
NO hero? its added as standart ability?
And you are still able to select him?
You are sure that you placed the right unit? (i sometimes have 2 units with the same name)

 

[toofless]

If you make your dummy a flying unit in the object editor and give it height of 1 you can modify its fly height without using crow form or meta and such.

 

[FriXionX]

What i did: I copy/pasted from a dummy which has locust and you cant select him. So all the abilities are there, and i just changed the model, and name, but i can still select my new one. I will attach the map to see what you can make out of it. The dummys that can be selected are called "Rasenshuriken Dummy" and "Sand Spear". All the other dummys cant be selected

 

[Michael Peppers]

Sincerely, this problem makes no sense at all

Maybe it's better for you to attach the map in your next post so that we can test it

EDIT: Ha! You beat me in timing

 

[FriXionX]

Haha
I didnt even put crow form on my sand spear, and you can still select it >.>

 

[Michael Peppers]

Weird, I can't select them

However, remove the shades for the dummies with no models and Invulnerable is useless since Locusts are invulnerable themselves.

EDIT: The spear is selectable, I'll check that better

 

[FriXionX]

The rasenshuriken model. When he throws it, i made a dummy unit with the rasenshuriken model. you can select that
and what do you mean remove the shades?

 

[Michael Peppers]

An idea, I could delete the collision spheres of the models, that way they shouldn't be selectable anymore, is that ok for you?

Set the "Shade Image" field to none, in the editor they got Footman's shade

 

[FriXionX]

Yeah o.0
You mean editing the models? or in the object editor

 

[Michael Peppers]

2 seconds in Magos Model Editor, but I need permission to do that

 

[FriXionX]

Oh, dont do that then. Surely theres a fix in the object editor for this..

offtopic: How do you change your thing under your name where it says "User"? Like yours says Im a boot.

User CP -> Edit your details

In optional information there's a "custom user title" field

 

[FriXionX]

So... does anyone know? I still havnt figured it out

 

[cookies4you]

i think i know whats wrong. did you give your units locust or the hero ability/normal ability locust. try adding it to units via triggers.

 

[Reaper2008]

Deselect through triggers?

Not exactly what you want, but does the job.

 

[FriXionX]

Cookies, whats the difference between the 2?
And why is this ignored

 

[FriXionX]

Bump

 

[ikillforeyou]

most of these aren't mui, i'll check to see what i can do


Woah, that is very strange.

 

[FriXionX]

Yeh i know, their not mui and leak a little in each. Im just practicing xD But this bug is really weird..

 

[FriXionX]

bump

 

[FriXionX]

lol, bump

 

[dimitri231]

Maybe locust doesnt affect these models or you cant use all dummies based on the same unit (ArchMage)

 

[FriXionX]

Thx for the reply, but im basing all the units off of Footman. Some work, some dont. Maybe it is just the models, im not sure... last thing ive come down to though..

 

[Reaper2008]

Maybe it's the models indeed. Are all your selectables custom models?

 

[FriXionX]

Yes. im practicing some naruto spells if you look at the map. Is there a way to check if they can have locust or not?
Ive also seen the models in another map though, and they have had locust, OR they are a special effect.
Can you make a moving special effect?

 

[FriXionX]

*sigh* bump
