i know, just really frustrating .... and it was 2AM ^_^

i got stuck when you were showing the validator requirement, couldn't see what you were opening up there

bloody bleeping hell.

every other step i take and the thing wants to crash.

the tutorial, a little on the fast side but im getting it ..... when its not crashing >_>

very good, i shall give that a try and see how far i get before being sucked into the realm of totally lost ;)

i can do little things in the data, if i had a map and a compass ...... and GPS i could probably do this ..... eventually.

I do have HOTS, so with that in mind if it changes anything, what would be the 2 best ways to do it?

A .......

or

B.........

could i copy the T/DT morph ability to do this but change it into an upgrade effecting all units of that type?

@joey101d: Go

i was asking, if the upgrade instead of replacing the unit modele could just change all affected units into a new unit.

i guess the best example would be the bunker turning into a fort.

the unit/building already exists in the game data, its stats are already pre set and so on.

the upgrade i was thinking of would be like an advanced training program or special forces upgrade that would boost the stats and appearance of the units.

kind of like a one way transformers transformation?

but yes when it comes to the data related field of the world editor, i know little about it, but i can make maps ^_^

@_@

i need a tutorial for dummies here -_-

I was hoping to make a kind of map/mission like the Left 2 Die one, only give it more of a interesting twist to it.

the morphing upgrade would be one of them .......... i guess the changes into the new unit, the unit could have the extra stats right?

change all units into A, A has +HP etc

that would work right? or not for the existing units?

so an upgrade cant effect more than one thing?

I cant give the marines an upgrade that will give them +50 HP and +2 range together?

just making sure i get all this correctly

hummm.

is that the easiest way to do it?

i know i will have to play with some things, the upgrade is just to change the units into an upgraded/merc version of them self with some stat changes.

+50 health for marines +2 range, +3 armor and +50 energy for medics/ghosts or what have you.

is there an upgrade that already exists that i could just copy, change who turns into what or no?

i just want to make sure i cover all possible paths i could take before i start it

is there anything that would show me how to do that?

anything step by step with nice pretty pictures?

I want to make an upgrade that will change the Marines into the merc versions and other units into the upgraded version, it would also effect existing units on the map giving them extra stats.

how would i do this?

Ok i need to know something because im getting conflicting information.

i want to use campaign units and buildings, i need to export some things, do i need to export the 3D models the .m3 or do i need to reference the data?

i cant use the dependencies because someone im working with, it slows his computer down beyond reason.

for example, I want to use the WarPig marine, what do i need to do to extract him?

ok so please forgive me if I am not understanding correctly, I am dyslexic.

to extract a unit i go to data, find unit ..... and while in XML mode i copy all the text, then paste it for the new unit?

ok so i have to go into each of the unit related things, one at a time? or is there a faster way?
