Hi, ok... So,
I was looking for a basic tutorial for creating a custom unit using the data editor. I kindof jumped in and just duplicated a unit and started renaming things and fixing the actor models, but now I have 50 copies of each ugradr and death effect and I realized I dont know anything about the data editor really. I have a basic understanding of actors, models, behaviors, and effects, but really want to understand how to make a custom unit, top to bottom, without throwing in tons of extra crap that I don't need.
I also have an issue with the behavior valerian02incapacitated... It seems to be loading on map startup causing any unit possessing the behavior to start dead and revive for 20 seconds (the duration I set valerian to)
First off , when u Duplicate a Unit , just Duplicate what U NEED!! or esle u end up with 50 USLESS things confusing you.
Basicly u need to duplicate:
-actors
-weapons
-abillitys
- when it comes to behaviours and effects , you can creat your own from scrash , or go find the effect you want ( from a specific unit ) and duplcate does , then add them to your Units Behaviours/abillitys/effects/command card
Hey. It's important to understand difference of green words and blue words in data editor and when you duplicate unit only check [x] things you are going to modify.
