Get corpse/ Cargo hold unit problem

[Red Beard]

Ahoy there landrots!

I am trying to have a hero have the ability of getting corpses and storing them.

Basing it off the meat wagons ability.

Why does WC crash when my hero tries to load a corpse?

Its essentialy the same ability, just with a changed range

even the 'normal' version of this ability causes it to crash.

any ideas why?

While im on the topic for asking help

Is there a way i can 'blind' a player. ie turning their entire vision off, but their units stay where they are?

im guess that u have done sumthin that the game cant handle..

to blind the player...u could maybe like make a spot in ur map...nothing there..and make a camera...and when u want to blind them...make game camera for X player to that camera in the spot with nothing...

u could also use other many stuff...but I find that technique the easiest..

mmmmm

i just tried (forgive the abbreviated triggers-they should be recognised easy)
pick player who owns the targeted unit

Fade out for (x) secs using black filter etc
wait (x)
fade in......

the fading in doesnt work... i think the waiting is hindering it because it will fade out and in fine but the wait makes it stay black...

I will try the camera way....

is there a lga (lag) factor to be reckoned with this ability?

 

[Myzteryz]

I don't think a lag would happen...becuz it would just move the camera for a certain amount of time...u move the camera all the time...and the fade out thing...uhmmm prolly not

The best way to blind a player should be fade filters. Sadly, fade filters cannot be used on one player and with the GetLocalPlayer() (<-- or?) it couses desyncs. Here is a way to apply a fade filter to only one player without a desync

It is quit advanced and not 100% accurate.
