Hi !
its my first topic here, and (im not really good in english i think) i need help, im not really good(you can say a little bad) in the editor, but i can make what i need.
But this time, i can't found how i can import, the vortex of wol Mothership, in the hots Mothership.
My last fail, i replace my dependences, so, pleaze, help me !
Thank you !
@Nixo78: Go WoL's vortex ability is still in the editor for HotS dependencies, you need to give that ability to your Mothership, and add a button for it in the command card.
Yes, i already try it( sorry for no say this) but, if you test, in hots, the vortex is a tarjet effect, and when you use it, the vortex suck one units and kill him...
And the vortex is very little...
You need to change the effects the ability uses from a target based spell to an AoE one, so basically change the fields Effect: Cursor Effect+ and Effect: Effect+ to Mothership - Vortex Search Area and Mothership - Create Persistent Initial respectively. Get rid of the flags in Ability: Target Fields+ as well so you can cast it without a target.
WoL's primary dependency Liberty (Mod) is included by default in both Swarm Multi and Swarm Campaign. Unless you made your mod completely from scratch without using either of those then you should have all of WoL's data assets.
The WoL vortex effects that you need are called Mothership - Vortex Search Area and Mothership - Vortex Create Persistent Initial. They are present in all of the default dependencies.
Just change the following in the 'Ability' tab for the vortex ability:
Effect: Cursor Effect+: change it to Mothership - Vortex Search Area
Effect: Effect+: change from Vortex Kill Set to Mothership - Vortex Create Persistent Initial
Ability: Target Filters+: Delete the target filter
I've tested re-adding vortex with Swarm (Multi), Swarm (Campaign) and Swarm (Story), each by themselves and the cursor worked for all 3 dependencies.
What exactly is causing your cursor to not show up? You must make sure Mothership - Vortex Search Area is the value for the Cursor Effect+ field or else its actor will not display the Protoss AOE splat when you click on the ability.
Go into the data editor and copy and paste your XML code for your vortex ability here. You can access XML view with its shortcut Crtl+3 or just click on the XML View button.
Make sure the XML code is the consists of the changes you made to your map, not the default one from Swarm (Multi).
oh, thanks, but i found how to switch language, and ... blizzard make a BIIIIIGGGGG error translation, 2 names of capacity are flip, so i take a other effect ...
Thanks ... T T
EDIT: I solved the problem. They have added a specific remove event on the cursor splat actor. So i had to just delete that.
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread. But I have this exact problem trying to implement the Cursor Effect: Mothership - Vortex Search Area. Im using the Swarm.multi dependency and have added vortex to the mothership. I have done what sgtnoobkilla suggested
•Effect: Cursor Effect+: change it to Mothership - Vortex Search Area
•Effect: Effect+: change from Vortex Kill Set to Mothership - Vortex Create Persistent Initial
•Ability: Target Filters+: Delete the target filter
Everything works but the splat cursor effect wont show.
I have tried to copy everything from vortex in the liberty.multi dependency but it still wont work. Can anyone confirm this still works?

Thanks, but i need to import some other capacity for my map, a solution exist for import only some capacity ?
@Nixo78: Go That is the vortex used in HotS beta, but the one from wol is there too. You have to find that one in the list.
ok thank you !!!
Hi again, i don't see a 2nd capacity vortex, and you know how to add wol dependencies to my mod without edit my personal edit
