I copied the built ability for an other unit to use. The problem now is I want that ability to be able to build my custom structure. I can change the units that it already can build (like Supply Depots) but I want to build other units. I can't seem to figure this out.
Go to the data editor. Go to abilities tab, find the "Train (Put building type here)". I think it's "abilities - abilities+". Go there and find an empty slot. Click it and add the button you want to use in "default button". On the same window, add the unit in (Values). There's other things in there as well that may interest you. Hope this helps. :)
No, I don't mean for a building to train custom units, I want, lets say an SCV be able to build custom buildings without me changing to already existing buildings that are already buildable by that SCV.
Sorry, wrong thoughts. It's the same way though for SCVs, Drones, and Probes though. Find their ability, find abilities - abilities+ and add the building. I'm pretty sure that's how to do it.
I've had this problem as well. I found a way around it though. It doesn't always work, but is there a second ability that looks EXACTLY like it? Not your copy. Sometimes it makes 2 versions, 1 is unchangable, the otther is changable. The changable one is the real one. Hope that works. If not, you'll need an expert.
There are 3 original abilities that all look the same to me. The problem is, with those abilities and my own abilities I can only change the existing buildings to make custom buildings, but I want to add other custom building to it so that they use the correct actors and stuff.
This might be a stupid question since you seem to know what you're doing, but make sure you're actually clicking one of the blank slots. Once that's blue/highlighted, double click. Go from there.
Lol, that's not really helping, but yes, thank you anyway. :)
The thing I was trying to do though was making custom structures based on other structures that I then can build with the build ability. I solved it. When I duplicated the build ability, I also duplicated every unit (which are structures). Then I can change the "Based on" setting to any unit I want so that I can get the right actors and other stuff. I thought I could only do this on an other way, so that's why my first questions might be a little off too.
GOt it working now, I seems that I have to change the actor to refer back to the unit. I have to tweak a llot now to get done what I want but it works anyway.

Hey all,
I copied the built ability for an other unit to use. The problem now is I want that ability to be able to build my custom structure. I can change the units that it already can build (like Supply Depots) but I want to build other units. I can't seem to figure this out.
Can anybody help me? Thanks.

But that is where the problem starts, I can only select the standard terran buildings. I copied the SCV's build ability.

Hmmm... I seems not to work actually, it doesn't copy every actor so I get structures without models....
