I'm simply wondering if it's possible to make transports such as Overlords, Hercules, etc. carry air units? Wondering so I can make something like a Battlecruiser carry Wraiths/Flying Vikings or Carriers carry Scouts or Void Rays.
that, and you may want to make sure the transport ability's target filters allow it to target air units. i think its auto-set to target only ground.
hmm... I've been perusing the Data editor and I can't seem to find the "target filters". I found something that has a bunch of "allowed, required, excluded" flags, but when I worked with that it didn't seem to work. As for the transport size, If I made it lower than 8 than it wouldn't be able to carry ground units, wouldn't it?
EDIT: I went and changed a Wraith's "cargo size" from 0 to 1, worked perfectly.
To anyone else who wants to do this, go to the unit in the Data window, in the search bar (or you can find it manually) change the cargo size from 0 to some other number.
@azaraxzealot: Go Making total space less than 8 won't do it as many ground units occupy 1 or 2 space slots. Trying using a validator that checks for air units. See how its done for the APC transport ability, it can only carry civilians, or the Bunker, that can only carry terran units.

Hi.
Yes, it is possible.

lol. Your so mean :P
@TheHolyArk: Go
How do I do it?
@azaraxzealot: Go
I believe that the only necessary change is to modify the air units' cargo size. Units with a cargo size of 0 are unable to enter a transport.
