The Medic ability should work, yes, but for some reason it doesnt. I tried to leave everything as Medic styled as I could by simply changing the restore from life to energy, but it doesnt work. The ability can be used, and greys out as if in use, but restores nothing. (This is from struture to structure). Am I missing something? Maybe target flags or something?
It may look ugly, in fact, it will look ugly, but one way (I think) you could do that:
When the unit is spawned (via create <unit>), store it in a variable.
Put a region where the truck is supposed to be spawning the minerals and vespene
Have a trigger for when the truck enters the region, its <creates unit> minerals and vespene.
On another note, anyone know how to make a energy transferring ability like on the map Mineralz (EU)? So the generator creates energy and passes it on to the cannon somehow. I've tried using an ability but that failed, and simply addnig the medic ability to the generator and turning the restore from life to energy didnt work. Not sure why.
None of the tutorials I found fitted my criteria well enough to work. Investigate further before making assumptions that im a lazy fool. Anyway, I fixed my problems now.
Hi, i'm working on quite a complex map, and being only intermediate with the Starcraft 2 Editor, i'm in need of a bit of help in some areas.
I can do all the basics in the data and trigger editors, and understand most of the custom UI layout files if thats neccessary information for anyone willing to help.
What I need is:
- Information on how to create a custom resource, display it next to minerals at the top right of the screen and change the icon.
- A guide on changing the time taken to build a structure.
- A guide for importing custom buttons icons.
- A guide to changing the CONSTRUCTION model of a building (Not the model when its built).
If anyone could be kind if enough to produce a tutorial on any of the above, i'd be really greatful, plus invite you to test the Beta of the map when its near completion (if you wanted).
