hiding a unit with the hides ability

Post by Rhuvaen »

I'm trying to hide an AI leader that I have to put on the map somewhere for elegance reasons. I've been thinking about using a variety of ambush to accomplish this. However, I just couldn't get it to work!

This is what I include in the [unit] tag:

Code: Select all

      [abilities]
        [hides]
          name= _ "spelunking"
          name_inactive= _ "spelunking"
          affect_self=yes
          [filter_self]
          [/filter_self]
        [/hides]      
      [/abilities]
I just gave it a name for fun to see if it would show up - it didn't! :?

I figured an empty filter would always hide the unit... I also tried it without the filter_self and with a full filter_self/filter_location combo. The unit never hid, and never displayed the ability. :(

Odd... that's Single Unit WML? If so, that might be the reason (and also a bug).

Yes, it's Single Unit WML, and I'm also doing it in a totally undocumented way (but one which should work the same way as modifying unit variables).
