A project I am working on gives the player the opportuity to call down mercenaries using the Merc Compound. There are two main differences though.
1. The mercenaries will have a set amount of time before tehy die.
2. They can be called down on any revealed terrain.
I have managed to dupe the MULE calldown ability to this affect, however I would much rather implement this ability as part of a "train" ability.
Anyone got any ideas? I could use the warpgate train method as a template, but I don't know how to cahnge the pylon requireemnts; and I could use teh train ability but am not sure how to change it to taget anywher eon the map.
Simulate the rally and warptrain by getting the rally like ability to create a persistent effect and the train to create a dummy unit that then creates the unit using a mule like effect tree using the Target - Location - Effect field (similar to the mothership vortex force effect) to determine that it is created at the rally?
