Is There A Way To Make A Specific Unit Yield No Experience Rewards?

I know I could probably trigger it, but if there's something built in, I'd love to know about it. <(^_^)>
 
Alright so, this is what I concluded from basic observations in the object editor and game play constants.
If you look under the stats field for a unit in the object editor, you will see the following field:

Stats - Level > 1
And under the HeroXP fields in the gameplay constants:
Hero XP Gained - Normal, Level Factor > 5.0

So basically, if you enter a level for a unit that is zero or less than zero (need to shift+enter such values), the unit will yield no experience rewards due to the multiplication by zero.
Note: I don't suggest entering a value that is less than zero, I have not observed tested such numbers for any side effects.

Though, unfortunately, I could not reproduce this manipulation for heroes. By default, the level factor for a hero's experience reward is 0.0.
I tried setting the factor to 1.0, and even a higher number later, in combination with setting the "level" of the hero to 0, as well as a negative in hopes for a bug; nothing seems to work for the heroes.
 
Does what I suggested not work for a specific unit?
Not to mention that "specific unit" is ambiguous in itself, so neither of us know exactly what Squeekems meant.
Though, I admit "specific unit" as in "a unique unit of a specific unit type" makes more sense now.

But back to the rhetorical question I asked you earlier... my method also works for a "specific unit."
A simple work-around for this would be to create a new unit in object editor that emulates another unit type in appearance and such; and then edit the 'Stats - Level' field in the object editor for this emulation-unit to 0, and viola. It works, albeit not the most efficient method, but if Squeekems plans on only having a few of these units of unique unit type, then it should be acceptable.
 
Sorry about being ambiguous about "specific unit." I should have included "-type" at the end of that. <(o_- )>

Yeah, that should work! I tried setting the unit level below 1 for the multiplication, but I forgot to hold shift+enter. <( >_<)> Thanks for taking a look.

I noticed a problem with my map when my friend starfalled on a large group of level one units that don't fight back, and immediately reached the max level.
 
Are you saying that the problem with starfall occurs even with the trick to give 0 experience?
 
Oh no, I was just stating that that was why I needed this. Sry again for the confusion.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
