Removing Health Bar from building
Guys,
Hai, I have small question, cause I cannot figure how to do it.
I need to remove it's health bar, to not show it when you hover your cursor over it.
How can I do that?
AlexB told me this is not possible yet, but I ask if anyone has found some workaround for that.
PixelSelectionBracketDelta= unfortunately is not working on buildings. _________________ PPM Halloween Season 2021 QUICK_EDIT
Height=-1 in the building's art(md).ini entry moves the entire selection bracket out of the view, which includes the health bar as well.
This, however, has the side effect of affecting how jumpjet units behave when going above the building, making them lower their cruising height by a tiny bit. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Thank Starkku! Thank you, I will check this later.
Na, building should be 1x1, invisible for view and should not have health bar, so actually it should not exist, as you can see from previous post.
I will also make it passable via new Ares's tag IsPassable=yes, so it wont exist in player eyes, but still will be on map.
Also, I noticed that your post is edited. You wrote me that I should put -99999 height and that I should think twice before using that.
I will test it with -1 at first place. _________________ PPM Halloween Season 2021 QUICK_EDIT
InvisibleInGame causes reconnection errors. Don't use that or Invisible for anything MP related. _________________ KGR | AT

PixelSelection... works on units. It was added in YR for the Brute. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

Thank you guys for replying.
Glukv48, FurryQueen, OmegaBolt, Atomic_Noodles, Graion Dilach, thanks. I was experimenting last two days with those stuff.
Glukv48, OmegaBolt, well 0x0 is special case foundation, so building exists but not in game. It is there but cannot take any damage. Also since it has foundation lower than 1 cell, you are not getting red for ,,cannot place" and green when its OK to place building there, you will get just ordinary blank cursor. Good point is that you can actually build above that building since 0 foundation does not exist, also you can place such building above any building. Vehicle will get NoMove cursor over it, but if you click, vehicle will stand to that cell anyway.
So it can work, but I need it to have BuildLimit=1 and to take damage for some reason, I needed it to take damage just from one unit, for some workaround which I am testing now. Therefore building somehow does not exist in game and wont take damage.
FurryQueen, not just that, AlexB told me that InvisibleInGame=yes aswell removes building from game so it wont take damage too because that was purpose of tag.
Atomic_Noodles, OmegaBolt, yeah reduced height, -9999 works in this case. I also can put IsPassable=yes, new Ares tag to make it passable when vehicle goes over it. _________________ PPM Halloween Season 2021 QUICK_EDIT
The invisible light posts act in a way you're describing... They are there, but not visible, no health over selection, but they are not passable. QUICK_EDIT

Yes, that's true, but it causes reconnection errors. Hence, don't use it. _________________ KGR | AT

AFAIK, only pre-placed on mapload structures with InvisibleInGame won't cause reconnection errors, as placing after the game is loaded will cause all other players than the owner to never read the building as existing, except the owner, which of course causes problems; as opposed to a pre-placed structure that NONE of the players will count as existing therefore no inconsistency. _________________ "Don't beg for things; Do it yourself or you'll never get anything."

I thought it was player owned InvisibleInGame buildings that didn't work. InvisibleInGame buildings clearly do EXIST because you can't build over them, as well as their tags still working etc...
Btw 0x0 buildings can be destroyed. They are still placed in a cell, they just don't occupy any space. I also never get a "can't move" cursor over them. I personally use 0x0 for invisible light posts so you can build over them. QUICK_EDIT

I just have a problem about 0x0 building.
I've made AI using a superweapon to delivery a unit which can deploy into an invisible building somewhere.
However, if the building is 0x0, AI will build buildings around it just like in its base.
Just change the foundation to 1x1, the problem is gone.
What actually prevent AI building around?
Why AI never build anything around Oil Derrick? Last edited by RehteA on Thu Jul 17, 2014 9:07 am; edited 2 times in total QUICK_EDIT

AI ignores 0x0 buildings during placement (not sure if AI can place 0x0 at all). _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

AI can place 0x0 but you should prevent this as only confuses it as far building construction goes as it will rebuild the 0x0 countless times as never registers it being built due to 0x0. QUICK_EDIT
