'Hiding' and ability from the command card

'Hiding' and ability from the command card

Hello, we are looking for a way to access an ability from the command card, without having the ability display on the command card... or as to 'Push an ability' while the ability is hidden.

Example: We are attempting to use a trigger that activates when a player presses 'P' - (or casts the ability in other words.) however, we need room on the command card for other abilities.


is there a possible way to 'Hide' an ability, and if so, could we activate it somehow?

Thanks.

One way we (I'm working with Joey.) thought was 'Pushing' the button off the Command Card. However all atempts at doing this have failed.

in the way you want it there isnt! but,


when player presses p

enable that abi for a unit,issue it to cast it,then disable it.

this should work.

It would work... if there was a way to detect when a player presses 'p', but if we could detect if a player presses 'p' in the first place, then we wouldn't have an issue. The ability is simply to detect when a player presses the button.
thanks for the help though.

now i do get what you want,the abi is just a dummy one for hot key detection.



And i can tell you that there is now way to make it with the abi disabled to work,but there is still sometihng.

Make the ability enabled.
Set its icon to : "Textures\Black32.blp"
Remove any kind of description and put as shortcut p.
I am not sure if the borders on ability will still show.

But i think there should be a way to do so.

(Sorry, but we have yet to resolve this issue. So, a bump)

The point isn't that we want to actually make the buttons disapear (However that would be nice) It's that we want to be able to have more abilities on one unit than the CmdCard can hold.

use a spellbook then.
