Sharing vision of locusts doesn't work? =\

[woot]

so apparently creating a locust, giving it ghost, and sharing its vision doesn't actually share its vision .... =\


So I want to create locusts .. visually hide them from certain players and show them to others.. is there any way to do this? UnitShareVision isn't working

Locusts are always invisible, are they not?
Or you want to be able to see the area where they are?

And why Locusts?
And what is this being used for?

perhaps instead of locust, you make a unit with no model and give that the ghost ability, and if you dont want it to move, make it a building
also make it invulnerable. that can replace a locust unit and work just as well,
but you can click it

no locust just makes the unit unclickable and invulnerable
EDIT and it gives vision to the owner and allies

i don't underrstand how creating a unit with no model is helping me get any closer to what i want to achieve



is there any way i can use GetLocalPlayer to do this?

maybe set the vertexcolor (transparency) of the locust for the local player ?

Maybe if you created the unit and did what YourFace said, you'd see how it's getting you closer .

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do still... I think I get it though. So then, are the players you want to share the vision with allies? Pretty sure their vision should be shared already in that case. If not, just create the locust unit for each player in the same spot, and take away the models of all but one locust unit.

oh i think i see the confusion


I want to share vision as in... make the locust that has ghost visible ... not just share its sight radius

isnt it always visible?

when i gave a footmen the ghost ability, he turned transparent, but still visible, he also had locust
