Removing Locust ability

[Synthetics]

Hi

Im have some major trouble trying to remove locust so that the unit is unselectable but can be targeted, i've tried everythin i could think off (im not jass literate) and had even tried messing around with jassn (unsucessfully). I've read loads of posts about it but when i type in my unit where they say to insert your unit in the jass bit of code, it has an error.

This is what i have so far if someone could correct me with it i'd be very grateful. and so would the walls of my home :banghead:

Thanks for your time

why dont you just remove locust and add it again

Firstly picked unit gets assigned after the group selection, meaning that you can't use picked unit in your matching part of the unit group selection. Use matched unit instead. Secondly, to remove locust you must do it like this:

• Test
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Hide (Picked unit)
        • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(GetEnumUnit(),'Aloc')
        • Unit - Unhide (Picked unit)

GetEnumUnit() is jass' equal to Picked Unit, however the important thing to notice here is that you'll have to hide, remove the ability and then unhide the unit in question.
