User Control Dilema

[BjorlerTFreely]

Hey there, folks. I need to know if there's any way to remove user control (via the action, or with the cinematic mode or letterbox actions) while still displaying critical hits and such to the user - an interesting dilema to be sure. If this question's been asked and answered already I apologize; I just don't have the time and patience to dredge through the forum on this fine morning.

Thank-you and good day,
Bjorler

I've actually been wondering this too.

This disables control, but still shows all icons, the mouse, and floating text. However, the minimap and unit portraits are just black while control is disabled.

Code: Select all

    function DisableControl takes nothing returns nothing
        call ShowInterface(false, 10000)
        call EnableUserControl(true)
    endfunction

    function EnableControl takes nothing returns nothing
        call ShowInterface(true, .001)
    endfunction

If you actually want it to enter letterbox mode you can replace the 10000 and the .001 with the fade durations.

EDIT: Actually, I don't think this does what I thought it did. You're probably better off ignoring this.
