Visible, untargetable unit?

[choweyiii]

What can I do to a unit to make it visible, but not able to be targeted by players, pets, or NPCS? ie: Anti-Magic Feild, Flame Orb, Fires on the ground, etc. I'm running on Arcemu 3.3.5.

UNIT_FLAG_NOT_SELECTABLE = 0x02000000

Hexadecimal -> Denary.

Target creature -> .mod flag 33554432

Apply flags 2 as well to make it unattackable and won't attack players.

.mod flag 2

With not selectable:

.mod flag 33554434

How about if I want a visible, un-attackable, but can attack unit? Like Flame Orb behaves. I really appreciate the help, stoneharry.

Not sure if there is a specific flag for that (I don't think there is).

However, if you're scripting that creature (as you should be for that sort of unit) then you can tell it to attack the player even though it has flags 2 applied.

If that doesn't work, directly casting spells that deal damage or using the Strike(args) method works.

For my 'beams of light' which people must avoid, I used a displayid for effects and made it have untargetable flags, but set to faction 35 so that it won't engage in combat. When the player draws within 7 yards of it, I use Strike to deal damage and then knock them back with a spell I have the player cast on himself. It works.

Spawn creature, set untargetable:

		local plr = pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(0)
		if plr ~= nil then
			INS[id].VAR.BeamA = pUnit:SpawnCreature(203123, plr:GetX(), plr:GetY(), plr:GetZ(), 0, 35, 0)
		end
		plr = pUnit:GetRandomPlayer(0)
		if plr ~= nil then
			INS[id].VAR.BeamB = pUnit:SpawnCreature(203123, plr:GetX(), plr:GetY(), plr:GetZ(), 0, 35, 0)
		end
		INS[id].VAR.BeamA:SetUnitToFollow(INS[id].VAR.BeamA:GetClosestPlayer(), 0.2, 1) 
		INS[id].VAR.BeamB:SetUnitToFollow(INS[id].VAR.BeamB:GetClosestPlayer(), 0.2, 1)
		INS[id].VAR.BeamA:SetUInt32Value(UNIT_FIELD_FLAGS, UNIT_FLAG_NOT_SELECTABLE)
		INS[id].VAR.BeamB:SetUInt32Value(UNIT_FIELD_FLAGS, UNIT_FLAG_NOT_SELECTABLE)

Strike when near:

	local plr = INS[id].VAR.BeamA:GetClosestPlayer()
	if plr ~= nil then
		if plr:GetDistanceYards(INS[id].VAR.BeamA) < 7 then
			plr:CastSpell(43418) -- impact
			INS[id].VAR.BeamA:Strike(plr, 0, 38043, 520, 530, 2) -- strike plr, display spell 38043 in combat log, deal 520-530 damage, deal x2 damage on critical strike.
		end
	end
