Is there any way to hide a unit from the minimap? So the little box marker doesn't show? Thanks

Give it the locust ability.

Damn, tried it but realized it wouldn't work since you need the unit to be selectable... zut alors!

Give it to a neutral party and hide it in such a way that it cannot be detected by the other players.

The entire situation is this:

I have 2 teams, 2 people per team.

Two of the people, one from each team, have a unit that is moved to the bottom left corner of their screen every .01seconds. When clicked, a trigger is set off. This was my way of creating a button, and in doing so, I have the need to get rid of the unit from the minimap. Your way could work, but how could I hide it from everyone except one player, when him and another player are already in a force?

Ah, you were the one using that button...
Hrm. Can't use aloc anymore iirc...


Hide the unit and the unhide using local player in JASS maybe, but I don't know JASS.

It pauses in single player, yes, but not multiplayer...

Although you can't do anything else besides talking as far as I know.

if I use a vis modifier itll be able to be used as a way of looking around the map, currently you only see him in non-fog of war areas.
