I want to hide experience bar, but not for all units, leaving the "hero style" display of attributes and weapons for them. Triggers or data edit allowed. Is it possible?

@Dzuke911: Go

A unit will only have an experience bar if you give it a veterancy behavior, so I'm somewhat confused by this question.

I want to display unit`s weapon and armor in "hero style" - icon+value, not just icon like it displayed in unit. If i just can hide exp bar for units and show it for heroes. i can give dummy veterancy to units, but exp bar spoils my idea.

@Dzuke911: Go

Try adding the hidden flag to your dummy veterancy behavior.

Veterancy with hidden flag does not change anything in the unit`s interface.

In that case, I believe doing what you want would be way more complicated than it would be worth.

You'd have to hookup the experience bar and then use triggers to hide it whenever a unit of this category was selected, and show it otherwise.

Ok, i can do that, but how to hookup experience bar?

@Dzuke911: Go

Trigger Action - Hookup Standard Dialog Item.

Name: "UIContainer/ConsoleUIContainer/InfoPanel/InfoPaneHero/ExperienceBar" Type: Progress Bar

Then you set a dialog item variable to last created dialog item and you'll be able to manipulate the experience bar as though it were a normal dialog item.

I created two triggers:

 HookUpExpBar
    Events
        Timer - Elapsed time is 1.0 Game Time seconds
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Dialog - Hooks up an existing Progress Bar in the standard UI called "UIContainer/ConsoleUIContainer/InfoPanel/InfoPaneHero/ExperienceBar"
        Variable - Set ExpBar = (Last created dialog item)

 PlayerSelectedUnit
    Events
        Unit Selection - Any Unit is Selected by player Any Player
        Unit Selection - Any Unit is Deselected by player Any Player
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        (Number of Living units in (Selected units for player (Triggering player))) == 1
    Actions
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                ((Unit type of (Triggering unit)) has Heroic attribute) == True
            Then
                Dialog - Show ExpBar for (Player group((Triggering player)))
            Else
                Dialog - Hide ExpBar for (Player group((Triggering player)))

ExpBar is global dialog item variable.

But experience bar is still showing on non heroic units. Where is mistake? It is showing even if i just create trigger: "Any unit is selected->hide ExpBar", without any conditions.

It might not be an element that you can hide. Try moving it offscreen instead. Something like move to bottom with a y offset of -200. If that doesn't work, I don't know.

Thx, now it works almost fine.
