How to make a unit transparent for the enemies..not allies?

[Trithilon-V2]

I saw this in dota.....mortred used to have transperency control via Animation functions...but now i dont know how they did it...she is transparent for only the enemies?
How to do that?
(My nearest guess would be something related to camera filter...)

i would say pick players 7-12 and do actions:
animation transparency thing

but then again icefrog uses jass if not vjass so itd be hard to tell the exact wai he does it

 

[Trithilon-V2]

Animation transperency function sets it for everyone not for a particular player.

 

[The Undaddy]

Yeah,he uses jass,does it for some players with GetLocalPlayer().

 

[Trithilon-V2]

can you post the custom script code for it?

 

[Flare]

constant native IsPlayerAlly        takes player whichPlayer, player otherPlayer returns boolean

So

Animation - Set Unit Vertex Colouring (bla bla bla)
Custom script: if IsPlayerAlly (YourFadingUnit, GetLocalPlayer ()) then
Animation - Set Unit Vertex Colouring (bla bla bla)
Custom script: endif

Dude this is not working......I get errors saying:-
Invalid argument type (unit) for this line and :-

Custom script:   if IsPlayerAlly( udg_u, GetLocalPlayer()) then

Expected a code statement (unit) for this line :-

Custom script:   endif

My trigger is:-

Fade Test
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Mountain King
    Actions
        Set u = (Triggering unit)
        Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 25.00% transparency
        Custom script:   if IsPlayerAlly( udg_u, GetLocalPlayer()) then
        Animation - Change u's vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 90.00% transparency
        Custom script:   endif

 

[The Undaddy]

He probably meant IsUnitAlly() as the function.So:

Fade Test
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Mountain King
    Actions
        Set u = (Triggering unit)
        Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 25.00% transparency
        Custom script:   if IsUnitAlly( udg_u, GetLocalPlayer()) then <==========
        Animation - Change u's vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 90.00% transparency
        Custom script:   endif

im pretty sure you need parenthisis in the if
if ( IsUnitAlly( udg_u, GetLocalPlayer( ) ))

Man its so obvious!!! U add the invisibility skill to this unit and order to active it, and its done! forget about scripts and whatever. This is with the units already being placed in the map. if u want otherwise ask me.

@Vaziocs: He means that for allies, it's as if he isn't transparent, but for enemies, he is.

I dont know whats the point of this skill. If even the unit being transparent u still can see it. Anyway its simple just use :
After u make the unit use invibility.
unit group - pick unit in(units in playable map area) matching ((picked unit)all allies of player1(red) equal to true
and do (animation - change("ur unit") vertex coloring to( 100%,100%,100% )and 100% transparency
oh again obviously that would make the unit invisible for ur allies only u wanted the contrary, use unit - remove buffs, remove invisibility.
not sure if remove buff would work need to test.

 

[Renendaru]

That wouldn't work at all... It needs Jass or at least Custom Script.

Yeah, and use a detection trigger that detects whenever a player has their camera over the hero, then if it's an ally stay, if it's an enemy remove the buff. But if you have one player with her onscreen already use a screen scroll stopper that stops players from moving their cameras to see her...

I am 99.99% sure it's some JASS trigger, but I'm a JASS newb, so...

Lol...lemme try this guyz....
Sry i am late at replying my router got screwed up and is pretty unstable...and i am getting speeds like <1 kbps and getting Dc frequently.

Btw is this supposed to make the unit transperent for enemies and at the same time the unit will appear normal to the allies?
Cuz testing that would require 2 players atleast.
