Any way of updating a ranged indicator to the unit's new range when that unit's range is buffed?

I have the display circle but it doesnt get any bigger with range upgrades to the weapon it inherits from

The game menu, with social, chat, and help buttons seem to overlap the default inventory ui for the inventory ability, is there a quick fix for this?

I want to be able to unload units at the target point instead of from the transport.

Basically, when I use the unload command from the medivac it flies to the point first, even if the point selected is within my unload range.

So lets say I have a bunker, and there's a gap to the next ledge, I want to be able to unload my unit across that gap, instead of them just ejecting from the bunker. 

The reason is, I'm making a boat system, and want the boats to be able to unload on land. Right now, they drop the unit where they are, which is water.

@SyCoAttack: Go

I'm willing to do some work on it here and there, could be fun

@DOOMEDEARTH: Go

I think it depends on the water type you use, there's an editor tab for water, check what setting your map is using and play around with that, or set it to a different water type that has no waves as default

you can check what water your map is using through the terrain textures tab for your selected terrain

I used a pylon for this, labelled it as a phase prism, it "warps out" when allies are near (if there are no enemies) and Warps in when enemies are near. The warp out version is just a pylon with cloak and no footprint, the warp in version is the solid state form with a footprint to block movement.

course you could also have the "warp out" model as the warp in pylon effect, that could be cool too.

This was good for me cause it's also a square footprint, making it easy to be used vertical or horizontal.

I there any way to make inventory work in a 360 arc? I can't seem to find an option for it, which is available in most other abilities. I want my character to be able to pick up items on the go, with smart click.

I may give them a "interact" abil to grab the nearest item if I can't get this to work

@BozoOvermind: Go

better practice would be to change the filters of your search effects, as if you start c+p them you'll keep getting this problem

Any way of changing how close a unit needs to get to it's movement target?

I'm using a custom mover system that "moves unit instantly" via trigs, but it's interfering with the data movement cause it slightly pushes them too far to send the "arrived" signal to the mover. Thus causing them to circle the destination instead of just stopping

I figured this could be fixed by changing the radius for it to send the stop command to the mover

@Alevice: Go

ZOMFG! I couldn't find it before you said but there it was in plain view, thanks mang! it works beautifully

So I created a veterency that gives you a stat point every level, I then have a sub menu that allows you to assign the stat point

All that is working fine, now my issue is that the submenu button has Full Validation checked, so that it won't be available when you don't have stats to spend, as well as display how many stats you have remaining to spend

However! the menu icon is adding all of the stats you can choose from, and their charge levels, together. So instead of saying "1 charge" the button says "3 charges" which is pretty misleading.

I could make it work without the charge count on the submenu button, but it's so damn close to perfect that this is going to bother me alot.

Is there a way to make certain buttons/abilities skip the validation of the submenu button? If it only grabbed it's info from 1 of the stats instead of all of them, it'll be fine.

Uhhhh, now I feel bad, am not making an anno mod.

The goal is to make a game where you can be a trader, an admiral, or a pirate, and go between ports buying goods weapons and crew.

I want there to be a boarding mechanic, thus the deck terrain

I do not know what anno is.

I ended up taking one of the tiles set from the heroes dock level, it's not perfect, but it'll suit my purpose. I'm trying to make a more cartoon style boat game.

I cant seem to get lighting to where I want it, tyring to mimic cell-shaded cartoon style

I'm looking to create the deck of a boat as an arena, and for the life of me I don't know where to start, I can't seem to find any decent wooden textures or doodads I could splash together

Anyone got some ideas?

Hey just stopping by to say that your spell effects are really impressive, I like em a lot!

also not sure if particles can work the same way but if you use white textures for some of the effect models in SC2, you can use in-game tinting to true tint them.

Also can you do any particles that are team coloured? like new hero-glows and such?
