Hi....
I remember using this technique a few weeks back around xmas but I was just unable to copy it. So that's what I'm at:
I have a map with all my awesome data editor stuff. So I saved that thing as a components list called "bla1"
Then I created a mod called "bla2"
When I opened both folders I realised that something might be wrong, because there is an entire folder missin in the newly created mod component list. here is a picture:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Don't worry about the folder 2.0 it contains my custom pictures I do not need in the mod. Also "Alpha promo" is a custom picture (obv)
So what I did now is I copied the Base.sc2data folder into the bla2 folder so that it would be there at least.
Then I took the enGB.sc2folder from bla1 and overwrote the one in bla2.
When I tested it nothing, and I mean literally NOTHING had been imported into the mod. (None of the stuff even showed up in the Data manager which should have been from a different mod or something :/)
:( Too bad. It would be epic. maybe write Blizzard and ask them to add the feature.
because there are three characters in my custom map And I can't find a good picture where all of them are on it :/
So having three loading screens, maybe depending on the race you're playing even would be awesome =3
Copy and paste the guardianshield dmg reduction behavior, apply it to the ghost and set the dmg reduction to whatever you like.
You don't have to bother about only ranged because the guardian shield already works that way. However if you want to include it some day there should be a little box where you have to set "Meele" from restricted to allowed.
Hi again.
I know this has been discussed before, I used toe search function :]
Hoewever none of the people who have posted about a nuke before helped me in any way.
So that's why I'm at.
I have a unit that must coexist with the Ghost in the game. This unit, Nova model so lets call her Nova, has the ability to nuke. This Nuke however does more damage and should be launched from a different building that will be added to the SCV (Novas Nuke Silo e.g.)
Now, the Nuke concists of different Effects, from Calldown over Damage to suicice that ends the spectacle :P
I created an ability for the Nuke Silo to arm it with a nuke (Different Nuke unit, just douplicated it). Also I set the requirement for the ability to the 2nd nuke unit. (Requirement node: Count Unit: nuke 2 completed)
When I test the map I can't fire the nuke though. The button is greyed until I build the nuke in Novas Nuke Silo. When I do the button becomes coloured but still shows a little "0" on it. When I click it it says: "No calldown avaiable"
Where can I fix this? Because francly I don#t know why it's not working. maybe there is something wrong with the calldown effect/ actor?
Everything is working because I'm using another behavior that does not need energy. But apparently I really was just too blind =P
Thank you.
And well I thought there was a difference between buffs and behaviors. Like the charge Ability has the effect "Apply Buff" that that is then a Buff, obv.
@TheAlmaity:
I just wanted to make a cloaking ability that only works for 20 seconds and does not use energy because it is otherwise not needed.
There is no buff?
The ability "cloak" concists of a behavior that is triggered by a button. On and off. There is no "Apply Buff" effect. Or any effect at all. I created those myself because I needed them.
And in the behavior there is no negative energy cost. At least as far as I can see.
Can you maybe make a screenshot that I know what you mean?
Thank you
I couldn't find anything that suggested Energy drain or Energy in any way. So I did something else.
There were two behavios: Ghost - Cloak and Ghost - Cloak (free)
I linked the free one to my effect and gave it a duration. Now it works and the normal cloak used be the ghost is unchanged. This is kind of a compromise... but it's better than nothing :/
Thanks for the advice though. I think I'm just blind =D
hasn't it something to do with "Show ressources" in the behavior tab somewhere? You can also make a building show that you spend X Minerals and Y Gas on something. You gotta edit the number there I think
Hi, it's me again xD
real quick: I want to make an ability that cloakes a unit for 20 seconds and then cannot be used for 60 seconds. I doublicated the ability of the ghost, doublicated hiws behaviour, have tha ability a cooldown and the behaviour a duration. But I can't get rid of that Energy that is needed. There are two validators that say the units must have energy on the behavior. If I remove them the cloak does not activate --
Hi Feithless and thank you for your long answer.
I had given the map to someone here inside the Forum, can't think of his name right now, the guy who offered to solve trigger problems for people :)
So the 2nd part with the spawning for the right hero already works. Here is a screenshot of the triggers and I also udnerstand how they are supposed to work. That's nice and good:
That thing with the dying and loosing thong doesnt work yet. The triggers are set and make sense to me. But it doesn't work the way they're supposed to:
maybe you see the mistake in the Triggers? Is something missing maybe? Or out of order?
As to what you have written I don't really understand it. I will have a look at it tomorrow when I'm not so darn tired =,D

Is it somehow possible to set multiple loding screen pictures, that will then be randomly chosen? If yes... HOW? :D

@RCIX: Go
Try removing the "buildings" collision tag in the movement tab of the colossus. That should do the trick in theory.

Is there any way to edit an .m3 Model in Cinema 4D? A converter maybe? Or is there another way of changing the texture/ color of a unit?
