I have modified a probe to have the train ability to train other probes. I have changed the model of this new unit to the forge (so you can move a forge around the map... it kinda looks like a vehicle) and called it a 'Miner'. I want the train ability to spawn the new probes that I create 2 spaces to the right of the miner and facing the same direction. I want this position to be relative to the direction that the miner is facing, always spawning on it's right shoulder.
I gather there are 2 ways of doing this, either creating a spawn behavior or making an effect. However, I can find no tutorials on how to actually do this. Could someone either point me toward a suitable tutorial or explain to me how to do this?
I would use a Specialize ability, so you can queue the units, that uses a Create Persistent to do the offsets that uses a Create Unit effect to make them. You then use the Set Facing flag of the create unit effect.

Thanks for your reply! Yeah, I read that before in another thread but I don't know how to actually do it. I've set up the effects and the specialisation ability but I don't know what to physically do to make them interact.

ModeratorsYour unit got a Queue ability?
The slot on your specialize using the Create Persistent?
The Effect: Period - Effects of your persistent linked to your Create Unit effect?
As this is all data there is not much physical.
