I have made the buttons, applied them to my nexus... Minerals for Vespene (cost: 50 minerals,-50 gas), and Vespene for Minerals..(cost:-50 minerals, 50 gas)
I also made the abilities from scratch but nothing happens when I click the buttons in game.
i beginning to think I should have just duplicated a similar ability... like cloak.. something that affects the unit/structure itself and not have to click somehwere else... like nuke, or chrono boost.
What's the base ability type you used? Effect-Instant should work, as should Specialise and Behavior. Maybe add a dummy effect (empty set etc) and see if that helps.
Effect-Target abilities require you to specify and come in range of a valid target before executing and deducting costs, so you should stay away from those.
Make sure your buttons are set up correctly, mine always bug out when specifying the commands (though that results in the button not appearing at all)
I used instant. Neutral if that means anything. What do u mean by "empty set" and "dummy ability" exactly?
I made an ability within the "instant" category. looking in the affect area, I have a zoom camera ability as reference that has the zoomout effect and a 500 range... but nothing in the effect or range fields for these resource swap abilities..
my buttons show up in game, even make the "wong" sound when u click on them...
I'd be happy to save the time and questions if u have teamviewer. its kind of urgent apparently everyone who plays my map encourages this button setup lol.
Looks like you messed up something else. Copy the Marine's Stimpack ability, delete the Effect+ field, remove the prerequsite for use (research check), adjust the costs to your liking. Worked for me in a quick field test anyway.
Maybe some fields were set to undefined/illegal values when you created the abilities.
So in short I need to hack your map to extract all the data and then tell you what your doing wrong? Does not work like that. I only rip maps open like raw eggs if they interest me. Either post a demo with the probelm or whatever map you have.

By dummy effect he means something like a 0 combat damage Damage effect or something. I think he is refering to the Set type effect.

I'm admitting that I may have just had the bnet moredotsmoredots cheat...
so when I pushed the buttons there was no resource transaction as this is an effect of the cheat.. everything is free... nothing costs.
If not, then for some reason, it works now lol.. i tested it online, where i could not have cheats and the buttons did nothing there either.
During this testing phase, the only things I altered within the ability were in the effects area.
