Lets say I have a hero or a builder unit. How can I allow it to spawn/build different units? Just like a probe can build Protoss buildings, but in place of buildings you would be allowed to spawn a unit.
I've looked through the Tutorial, Data, and even Trigger forums but can't find anything. Perhaps there's a specific name for what I'm trying to do and Im just ignorant. Either way, I was hoping someone could at least point me in the right direction?
To be more specific: I have a hero unit, a custom-made Queen. I want the Queen to be able to spawn other (custom) zerg units in the same way that a Probe would build buildings. Although, without the building time.
There is an ability called Train which needs to be combined with the Queue ability. This allows you to make multiple units using one ability. Alternatives are theArm Magazine, Build and Warp Train abilities. You could even use a Create Unit effect or a Spawn behaviour.
You need to give more details as to exactly what you want.

I've actually solved part of my problem. I used the Warp-In and Warpable abilities.
The problem I have now is that I can only warp in one unit then the cool-down affects all of the units. How do I make it so only the unit I just spawned has to cool down? I tried using the Queue(5) ability but Im not sure what to do with it.

Thanks for shedding some light on that.

ModeratorsSo you want tthem to have a placement and be built instantly? Is there to be any distance limitation between placement and the creating unit?

ModeratorsYou need to give each unit in that ability a different cooldown link. Currently they are all sharing the same link and therefore cooldown on the unit.
