Why can't I remove Locust

[feelingparty]

So I want to make a unit selectable 15 seconds after the beginning of the game. So at the beginning I give it locust and at the 15th seconds I remove it but it doesn't seem to work (It adds Locust properly but doesn't remove it). Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Any thoughts? Here are the triggers:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Player number of (Picked player)) Less than or equal to 5
  • Then - Actions
    • Set TempPoint = ((Center of Region 001 <gen>) offset by ((SpawnDistance x (((Real((Player number of (Picked player)))) - 1.00) + 0.00)) + (SpawnDistance / 2.00)) towards 0.00 degrees)
    • Unit - Create 1 Baby for (Picked player) at TempPoint facing 90.00 degrees
    • Selection - Add (Last created unit) to selection for (Picked player)
    • Unit - Pause (Last created unit)
    • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility (GetLastCreatedUnit(),'Aloc')
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)
  • Else - Actions

And the seconds :

• Beginning
  • Events
    • Time - TimerBeginning expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove FieldDummy 0000 <gen> from the game
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Camera - Reset camera for (Picked player) to standard game-view over 0.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Baby) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Unpause (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Special - Channel
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.50 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off TimerDisplay <gen>
    • Sound - Play ArrangedTeamInvitation <gen>
    • Wait 1.00 game-time seconds
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Baby) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Night Elf Druid Of The Claw - Roar
        • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility (GetEnumUnit(),'Aloc')
    • Trigger - Turn on PickHighElves <gen>

You're not. May I suggest searching the forums? It's been frequently discussed that Locust is strange in that it does not remove from a unit properly, although this allows for interesting effects that would not be possible otherwise (eg. an unselectable unit which may still be targeted by enemies.)

The process to fully restore a unit from Locust status is convoluted and involves morphing it.

Have you tried, just for testing:

• Selection - Add TempUnit to Selection for Player

It might work I guess

doesnt.

If memory serves me right, you should hide and unhide the unit to make it selectable after removing locust.

Thanx for everything. I solved it now using this action.

• Game - Disable selection and deselection functionality (Disable selection circles)

• Game - Enable selection and deselection functionality (Enable selection circles)
