I'm stuck, and noobish with data. i made the apply behavior effect and ism using the existing power field behavior. i cant seem to figure it out the rest. i want an ability that when clicked makes the unit stop and apply the power field behavior, if the unit moves (and/or the ability is canceled), the effect is stopped.

ive been asking in irc but i figured its time to post this cause im sure it will come up again.

Make an ability type behavior, set turn on turn off buttons, set behavior

in behavior make it chanelled

as u remember warp prism cannot move in power state, so you need slightly different data, as i said above

Add a "Not Moving" validator on the behavior...

this will remove the behavior when the unit moves

@Disterbed: Power Field behaviors don't have validators, they do have requirements tho but there is no not moving there??

@Fen1kz: How do i make the behavior channeled?? u mean in effects or ability?

then create another behavior to enable/disable it...
start a persistent effect with give behavior and end with remove behavior

@Fen1kz: How do i make the behavior channeled?? u mean in effects or ability?

sorry, its applied only on buff (Behavior of type Buff > Buff Flags > channeled)

then do a not-moving validator OR like this:

behavior of type buff:

Buff Flags > channeled

Effect - initial > apply behavior > my little powersource

Effect - final > remove behavior > my little powersource

@Fen1kz: Go Doesn't it need to be a power field behavior though?

@xxxDisturbedxxx: Go i did what you said but it doesn't remove?? here is the xml

<CEffectCreatePersistent id="PowerField"> <ValidatorArray value="NotMoving"/> <EditorCategories value=""/> <ExpireEffect value="ApplyPower2"/> <FinalEffect value="ApplyPower2"/> <PeriodCount value="300"/> <PeriodicValidator value="NotMoving"/> <PeriodicPeriodArray value="0.1"/> <InitialEffect value="ApplyPower"/> </CEffectCreatePersistent>

@SoulTaker916: Go

once again, you need:

ability of type behavior

behavior of type buff

behavior of type pwoer source

effect of type apply behavior

effect of type remove behavior

then u bind ability to buff behavior, and set initial/finish effect to apply/remove powersource

buff behavior acts only as bearing to control your main powersource

i made the ability for you based on the ghost hold fire

heres what i did..
-i added "hold fire" and "weapons free" on marine
-added "pylon power source" behavior on marine
-created and added a new behavior called "xxx disable power" on the marine (This will disable the "pylon power source")
-created a new validator "xxx Caster is not moving" and added it on "Hold Fire" behavior
-then i made the "hold fire" behavior disable "xxx disable power" behavior when it is on.

Ok i get what u guys are talking about. a bit weird but distributed map help a lot. Fen1kz, i did add that persistence, works great.

@xxxDistrubedxxx:

How did you get the marine to show the power field? my mothership doesn't show it?
