Hi, I am searching for an option to make the command buttons within the command panel non-clickable, but the assigned hotkeys shall still work and the command buttons shall be visible with their hotkey tag. What I want to do it's pretty much the same as in the official challenge named Advanced Command. (without the tooltips and stuff) So it should be possible by copy paste but I have no clue where to copy what to get it right. Help is pretty much appreciated because I am not so familiar with the SC2Editor.

@Zulu23: Go

trigger: Enable/Disable Command Type
set it to buttons and there you go.

in raw:
trigger:UISetCommandAllowed
disable: false
commandOption: c_uiCommandAllowButtons
playerGroup: PlayerGroupAll (or whatever group you want)

@Helral: Go

yeah, that works... but with that there come two more issues....

1st the unit info frame is also disabled for clicking. (the que isn't deletable anymore with a simple klick then and unselecting units off the selected group of units wont work as well)

2nd all right click commands such as auto repair of scv's and mules won't work anymore...

Is there a simple way to fix these two things?

You could just place a dialog with a button on it that takes up the whole dialog over the command panel, then set the dialog's transparency to 100.

This makes the buttons unclickable but hotkeys are usable and the buttons are visible. The only issue is that the buttons won't show a tooltip on mouseover.

Didn't one of Blizzard's challenge maps have exactly what you ask for? You could look it up in the editor, as all maps Blizzard mape ara available in there and try to find, how they have done it.

@Kueken531: Go

I tried to catch it how they done it for the "challenge" map, but I couldnt find it. Is well organized though, but seems to be hidden to me... It is for sure not done with the trigger disable/enable command type....

I can unselect units (shift+click). so the unit info frame isn't disabled.
Actions that are also listed in the command panel are indeed disabled like: remove an unit from the queue. (hotkey: esc, removes the last item in the queue)

rightclick using keyboard: alt+hotkey
well either you cannot use it at all or you can use it....
The blizzard map probably uses a blizzard-map-only function...

Problems solved! Thank you.

The maps are uploaded on EU servers and work as melee Hotkey trainers. Basically it's the ladder pool with disabled command buttons and the Green Tea Ai.

@Zulu23:

i know the problem is solved but i have an easier solution... go to the command card in the data editor and make the button 'passive' not 'ability'. now you can see the button but can not click on it. you can also read what the button does from the description. no need for triggers and all of that. lol.

Field   Marauder
Ability: Face   Concussive Shells
Field   Marauder
Ability: Type   Passive

Like that.

(yes i am nots good at this english part, LOL)

I tried to find what you explained, but I can't find a field to change from ability to passive. Could you possibly explain more detailed where I can find the field you would change?
