Hide hero, keep icon.

[Grags_1977]

I'm trying to hide a hero so the user cannot see him. BUT I want the icon to still show. So I can add the trigger... "Unit Is selected"


I've tried...

Stats - Sight Radius (Day): 0
Stats - Sight Radius (Night): 0

The icon is there, but the hero is unselectable. If I set the sight to 150. The triggers work brilliantly, but obviously, i can see the hero's.



As allways any help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded with a sloppy kiss :thup:

ever tried using a dummy hero with a blank model or 100% transparency?

Try a different sight than 150? maybe 50 would be enough... Yet i do not understand the purpose of a player not seeing his own hero... could you elaborate? Maybe we might find another way to do it.

I thought just Hide/Unhide wouldn't affect the icon. That's what I see in DotA.

That is a fact, but he wants the player to be able to select the hero, which will not be an option with Hide/Unhide.

The blank model idea IMO is the way to go. (eg. When you import a custom model incorrectly and the hero is invisible but still selectable)

otherwise, just trigger it so, that when you select it, you immediately deselect it or something

He wanted to be able to select it without seing it, he wanted the model to be gone basically, if that were the problem i would have recommended locusting the unit

and grags, be carefull doing this, you wont be able to click on the unit to select it if it is in your screen, and you wont be able to target it with non-autocast spells or attack it with something other than autoattack

@GFreak45

Locust add invulnerable too ^_^

 

[GFreak45]

That is true, but how do you kill that which you can not target? some sensai shit there... and yes I get what you are saying, but that is just a start after that I would ask him to elaborate more
