Is it ever okay to use InvisibleInGame for a player building

dodgevipergts · Chem Warrior **Joined**: 31 Jan 2011

I've been making a tech upgrade system for my mod. Invisible 0x0 building. I'm using the InvisibleInGame tag to make it unselectable to all players. Is this wise, I know it can cause reconnection errors when it has weapons and stuff but is the tag okay for just a simple invisible player owned building? Or should I never use the tag for player buildings?

Thanks in advance.

Don't use that tag. It causes reconnection errors and there's no point if you use a 0x0 building for the upgrade. A 0x0 building cannot be selected or interacted with in any way.

Annoyingly, It still shows a no move cursor over it.

If you are using Ares, you can just make it a "flat" structure that allows units to move over.

Not 100% true. Pre-exsisting buildings on map with that tag "InvisibleInGame" do not cause recons.

Of course that information does not help out dodgevipergts.

This is quite the problem...

Assuming I understand what he wants.
Basically he wants X multiple possible upgrade trees for a single side or faction. But he wants it so once you place it, you cannot build the others, now or if it gets destroyed. But if it gets destroyed he wants to make it rebuild-able, but not the other upgrade options.

I can't think of a way to fix this without resorting to 0x0 building. I will never use that though, because it's wonky. So in my opinion, he's stuck.

You can use Ares's IsPassable=yes and Firestorm.Wall=yes on a 0x0 building.
You'll still get the no move cursor and Tooltip shown, although units can actually stop and move over it without problem.

Any fix for that stupid cursor?

Yeah, I have used ares IsPassable. But you still get the no move cursor, thats my only issue.

No need for Ares
Bib=yes works too

Unfortunately, Bib also shows the no move cursor over it.
