Hi, I have an ability (Cloak), and i have added it to my marines and marauders so they both have the same ability.
When i have a marine and a marauder selected and i hit the hotkey for the cloak ability, only one of the units uses the ability. I have to tab to the other unit to make it work.
How can i make it work so that when I click the cloak ability, it cloaks all units that have that ability, regardless of type?
You have to create a new cloak ability for the Marauder and link them both together using the Set ID field. If you just copy the ability, they'll be linked anyway.
He's incorrect. You can't add abilities to abilities.
Just download the map I made, and use it as a reference.
Any ability x needs to be remade with every unit that you wish to be able to use the hotkey for.
Burrow, for example. Each zerg unit is given a burrow ability. Theres Zergling - Burrow, Roach - Burrow, ect. Each of these burrow abilitys have the SAME Abil Set ID.
This way, when pressing the burrow hotkey, all of them burrow.

yeah i got that map and i cant see any difference between the two.
is it just the "ABILITY" that needs to be changed - can i keep using all the same behaviors and effects etc? Im deleting my old ability and starting over, just in case i fucked something up

Like how stimpack works.
Thanks in advance.

It's a flag on the ability. I forget which one. Uncheck "best unit" and see what happens. Otherwise, keep unchecking flags until it works.

Like this:
I had a feeling that it was something to do with that ... It's silly that it won't work with the same ability
for some reason i cant get it to work - i duplicated the ability, changed it on the unit... but it still wont link :S
you need to ADD the STIM MARAUDER ability to the MARINE STIM ability. not just the unit .

Post the map you're having problems with and I'll take a look.
cheers for the offer, but i figured it out!
Solution:
Flags- "Send to selection" needs to be checked!
actually you don't even need to have different abilities - so long as the "Send to selection" flag is enabled, it will work on the same ability.
