How to give Locust to a hero?

[Zorobay]

Hi!

I found some kind of answer to this question. They said that you could use :

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(GetEnumUnit(), 'Aloc')

Where enum i think is the same as Picked, is it?
But it doesn't work. So first of all...is GetEnumUnit = Picked Unit?
And if it is, what is wrong? Is this the way to give a hero Locust?

GetEnumUnit() is Picked Unit in GUI.
GetTriggerUnit() is Triggering Unit in GUI.
GetFilterUnit() is the Conditional one in GUI. I don't remember this one exactly.

Those are the most common ones.

So this script should work??

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in unitGBoughtHeroes[(Integer A)] and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Hide (Picked unit)
        • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(GetEnumUnit(), 'Aloc')
        • Unit - Unhide (Picked unit)

Well i can still click the unit ingame...

I believe GetFilterUnit() is "Matching unit"?

Not too sure. Not familiar with locust on heroes. By the way, is the Hide and Unhide necessary?

 

[Zorobay]

ehrm...No they weren't...it actually started working when i removed them! well well ty anyways!

Yes! That's it, Matching Unit.

why you need custom script to add locust? lol

 

[Zorobay]

Because i didn't want the hero to have it all the time =P

BTW how do i remove it? Is this right for picked unit?

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(GetEnumUnit(), 'Aloc')

Oh, you want to add/remove Locust? It's not easy, since Locust is glitchy.

you can simple add it with normal gui action..

um ya but my question was how to remove it...

 

[XeNiM666]

AFAIK locust cannot be removed...
Try hiding the unit and showing it again...

call ShowUnit( GetEnumUnit(), false )
call ShowUnit( GetEnumUnit(), true )

EDIT:
check Weep's post

Actually, just use Status to add/remove Locust, you should have no issues unless the hero is flying.

It has a special method of fully restoring the locusted unit, if I recall correctly.
Works by adding an immediate crowform, issuing an order to use it, and immediately removing it, after hiding the unit, removing locust, and unhiding it.
Only side effect is cancelling current order, as far as I know. Have fun!

Since when? It's not mentioned in the changelog. :nuts:

But, indeed it does. That's cool. :thup:

Since when? It's not mentioned in the changelog.

- Version 1.2.3: Added many new statuses or released them publicly, as well as bonuses. All of them now implement negatively as well, except for Disable (which should not).

Probably here.

Status does all kinds of stuff. :thup:
