Hey everyone. I need help with the data editor. I have searched these forums and the internet and cant seem to find a solution to my problem. I am trying to give a dedicated unit (marine) the ghosts snipe ablity. I have already copied the ability and put it on the marines ability list along with stimpack. I gave it a button on the marines hotkey list. I click on the hotkey button in the editor and it says in the dropdowns
Command Type- ability command
Requirements- none
Ability- ghost sniper
Ability command- sniper round
I test the document and click on my marine and the button isnt there. I set it to passive and i could see the snipe button but it couldnt be pressed and said "can only target biological units" if i hovered over it.
How do i make this button show up and work as the ghosts sniper ability does?
Hmmmm, seems like you set everything up right. Try again with another ability, like psi storm (you gave your marine energy right?) and post the results. I don't have access to the editor atm so I'll check tommorow.
Edit - you did put the button somewhere other than an area where another ability was right?
Ok i have done as much as you guys said can it has no requirements and my marine does have energy. The snipe ability is set to only take10 out of the 100 energy the marine has. The only problem left is that the ingame hotkey button doesnt show up.

Have you checked your copied ability has no requirements? Is the button default state set to available?

Attach your map so we can look at it.
