How do I make a player controlled Unit (like a SCV) Build a Barracks that then auto trains or spawns Marines ?

I'm sorry If this is in the wrong place. Is there a Nexus Wars type Map I could Download that I can use to learn how to create my own type of "Nexus Wars" map?

JademusSreg from the IRC channel helped me out.

Its:

unit MyUnit = UnitGroupUnit(UnitCreate(/* Create Unit Stuff In Here */),1);

This will create a unit and set it to a variable so you can call upon it again. like :

UnitSetScale(MyUnit,200,200,200);

How do I create a Unit with UnitCreate and put that guy I just made in to a Unit Variable?

I can not figure this out, And I could not find out how to do that with the forum search.

Thanks for the help :D

Thank you VERY much for the information!

I was able to actually put something on the field with out the stupid ball showing up lol.

I'll check out the wiki too.

Again THANK YOU!

I'm sorry I'm a total noob so I don't understand short stuff like "Go to the field called Event - Events - Send" I found a Field called Event. But I couldn't find any thing called Events in it. Can you elaborate more on what to do?

Also thank you for the idea for putting a prefix for Units I create or copy :D

I hope I'm placing this in the correct forums. I'm sorry I don't know where to ask.

Is there an updated tutorial out there that is for a super noob beginner on how to place a copied or custom unit on to the map?

I have used the search tool in the forums and could not find one that is current. I have used google and youtube as well and nothing current.

I have tried most of the old tutorials out there (from this site and others) But I keep getting errors such as the half checkered ball thing.

I have loaded other people's Maps, but truthfully, I don't know what I'm looking for in the data window to try and learn from them.

I am trying to make just the simplest Tower Defense map as a learning project. I figured if I can make one of those, I should be able to gain some basic knowledge on how to make other custom maps.

I figured out how to spawn units and get them to path from start to finish with triggers and points. I just can't figure out how to make the custom builder guy that allows the player to create the towers, and how to make the custom towers. (basically the main part of the game lol) Based off the old tutorials and information I've read, I am assuming that I need to copy then modify something in the data editor to make my custom building guy and towers.

Also, Is there a way to make folders in the data editor so I can keep my custom characters and stuff organized and not have them mixed in with the standard blizzard SC2 stuff?

Again, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, and I greatly appreciate any help or a point in the right direction you guys can give me :D
