I want to create a broodlord that has 4 broodling escorting it rather than 2.
I checked the Arm Magazine ability (Broodlord Hangar or something like that) that the
broodlord has and I was able to set 4 external angles and the broodling start count
to 4, but when the broodlord shoots these 4 broodlings stacks up to 2 again, not 4.
I played with almost all the fields in this ability and no luck.
I looked at the abilities, the weapon , the effects the broodlord has a hundred times, and
I know that this field I'm looking for is right infront me and I miss it every time so please
tell me where is it.
Hi dude, i saw your post and i started fizzling with this too, and i found the Solution to be Quite Easy :)
What you need to do is change two things:
In the Ability "Brood Lord Hanger" Go in the "Info+" Field, Double Click the Ammo Unit (Default Ammo unit 1) And Change the Info - Count to 2 and the Info - Count Start to 4
Then go to the Ability "Brood Lord Queue2" and change Queue Count to 2 and Queue Size to 4
Thanks man... It's not what I really wanted to do but If I can't figure out another solution I'll use that.
What you do is make the magazine produce 2 missiles (broodlings) per broodling trained by setting the Info- Count to 2,
then you change the training ability of the broodlord to be able to train 2 broodlings simultaniously, that's when you change Queue count to 2.
What I want is the broodlord to produce it's broodlings as usual (1 per 2.5 sec) but except stacking 2 to be able to stack 4.
In the Arm Magazine ability double click the 'Ability - Info +' field, double click the ammo (In broodlord case it Broodling - Escort), then find the Info - Button - Requirement. Check out which requirement is selected there. In brood lord case it should be 'ArmBroodlingEscort'.
On the data editor go to Requirements tab and search for ArmBroodlingEscort (Unnamed) (broodlord case) requirement. Double click the Requirements+ field and there you should see a tree with requirement nodes where one of the nodes will be called Constant 2. Click on it and on the right change the field Value to 4 (or whatever number you like). There you go, now you got broodlord that can stack up to 4 broodlings at a time.
An alternative is to have 2 different units in the Arm Magazine ability because this allows you to have them at different a Info - Distance from each other giving more control over the formations formed.
Yeah I already noticed that ... distance + external angles defines the formation around the unit.
But the solution I found is exactly what I needed. I knew it was right under my nose the problem was that
it's called Info - Button - Requirements so I was thinking that this was a button icon or something. It was after
I examined it closely I noticed that it's not just a button after all.
Thanks for the help guys.. I can't see any reputation system or something I can reward you with.

Okay^^
But it gives you the idea on what to change :P
Good luck with future projects ;)
I solved the problem.
In the Arm Magazine ability double click the 'Ability - Info +' field, double click the ammo (In broodlord case it Broodling - Escort), then find the Info - Button - Requirement. Check out which requirement is selected there. In brood lord case it should be 'ArmBroodlingEscort'.
On the data editor go to Requirements tab and search for ArmBroodlingEscort (Unnamed) (broodlord case) requirement.
