Hi.

I want to remove the "Permanently cloaked" ability from my units via triggers.
-How can I do this?

I can't find it in the list of abilities under "Enable/Disable Ability For Unit".

I tried this:

Code:
Unit - Remove 1 Permanently Cloaked from Hero[i]

(I also tried replacing '1' with '2' - have no idea what that value is for..)
It did not work on Zeratul. :(

Additionally; Zeratul, Tosh and Nova all seem to have different kinds of "Permanently Cloaked" - but none appear in this list (except the one I showed above.)

Some behaviors can be applied multiple times (to get for example 4x 50% movementspeed bonus). I assume that's the reason that value is there.

I cannot see the 3 units you mentioned, so I cannot check the following by myself, but I'll describe the steps:

- Open the data editor and go to the behavior tab.
- Search for "cloak"
- Does it give you any results concerning the unit you mentioned?
- If not, search for "Zera"
- Does it give you any result concerning invisibility?

Cos maybe, Permanently Cloaked is the "parentvalue" of other behaviors which would mean that Zeratul has the child of Permanently Cloaked, meaning you have to remove that child behavior.

EDIT:
Or does Zeratul have an ability of the abilitytype "behavior"? In that case you should remove that ability.
You can see this by going to Zeratul at the unit tab. Now right click his ability concerning his cloaking ability and click "Modify Ability". There you can see the abilitytype.

When I search for "cloak" I get lots of "buffs", for example:
'Mothership - Cloak Field', 'Ghost - Cloak', 'Wraith - Cloak', 'Permanently Cloaked', etc, etc.

I obviously choose 'Permanently Cloaked', but it doesn't seem to work. =/

Searching for 'Zera' only gives me three "buffs"; non concerning cloaking.


EDIT: Zeratul does not have anything concerning invisibility or cloaking anywhere in the 'Data Editor', as far as I can see. =/


I was thinking of doing this another way: Instead of removing the heroes' cloaking ability; give the boss the ability to see the entire region + invisible units in said region. (Kind of like Terran's scan sweep, but permanent.)
-Is this possible?

To make something detect units, go to the Behaviours tab of the Data Editor. Put "Detector" inside the search bar, and click on any of the Detectors. Duplicate it if you want, its not necessary, and scroll down until you go to "Unit - Modification - Detect". Change the number to whatever, the higher the number, the further the unit can detect things.

To make the unit see the entire region, couldnt you just give it a really big sight range? Otherwise, go to the Trigger Editor, under Actions, go to Visibility, choose any of the visibilities. I think the best one here would be "Auto-Reveal Region", which will show the entire region to a player if the player has a unit inside the region, and will turn off if there are no units from the player inside the region.

You checked if he has the 'Cloaked' flag? Go to unit tab and check at Unit - flags.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
