"dancing" units

[Golden Fox]

is there any way to make an unit who can "Dance"(terran siege tank/terran marine/terran ghost) Dance without beiin Cloaked?

 

[Bolt Head]

If you disable the units but do not veiw them with a detector they will not cloak. (they need to be owned by a comp)

 

[KillerMe]

You can always just make an observer near them...

-disable doodad state for :UNIT: at :LOCATION:
-create 1 :detector: for LAYER: at :LOCATION:

The unit should be a computer unit and you should not be shared vision with it. The detector should be yours.

i bet they didnt

 

[panthr_dude]

but doesnt it still stay cloaked when you put an observer next to it...Golden fox wants to know how to make a unit dance with out it being cloaked but oh well

 

[Lwek]

I kind of copied that from the Map Making Faq Thread. I did realize that he only wante them to "dance" but I gave him the cloaked actions because I assumed he had the intelligence to realize which actions need to be removed in order to not cloak the units.
And if he needed to know how to cloak a unit, He would just need to look back at this thread instead of posting another thread.

And Bolt Head, saying disable the unit is not enough information. I've found out over time that people don't know the action: Disable Unit.
Maybe instead of saying disable unit say:
use the action called: Set Doodad State
and disable the unit you desire.

 

[Bolt Head]

Ok Master, *bows*

 

[Golden Fox]

the thing i want to know is how to make an unit dance but not cloaked and select/attackable

 

[Lwek]

Place marine at the middle of the map(or anywhere else)
Make a location big enough to atleast touch the marine but no other marine that the same player owns(location doesn't need to cover up the whole unit)
Create the trigger:
PLAYERS
-Somebody you luv
CONDITIONS
-Always
ACTIONS
-Disable doodad state for "Terran Marine" for "Player X" at "Location"


(the disable action only disables 1 marine at a time. SO don't think that disable will disable all the marines within a location.

 

[Golden Fox]

i want a marine to become attackable/selectable and dancing but NOT cloaked! ok? can any1 understand what i mean!!!

 

[Lwek]

Umm, yeah, You need to disable the unit!
Can anyone under what I'm saying!

Everyone of us have been explaining how to make a unit "dance"
Maybe instead of assuming that our ideas are for cloaking, you should try it over SCXE and see if it does dance.

Here's a map that might stop this problem.
It's a map that explains what everyone else said:
disable doodad state.

 

[Golden Fox]

i mean like this (finally got it to work)

 

[Lwek]

Yeah, as of today, I only know that siege tanks can attack while disabled.
Photon Cannons can attack without a pylon if you use the enable doodad state.

 

[Golden Fox]

what i wanted to get working was the thing as the ghost does!
