Well you see my topic, i kinda figured it out my self but are stuck on some things.
1. I made an custom "Spine crawler" button.
2. I made an new ability - of the build type.
3. I edited it to spine and gave it the spine crawler button and i also give it a 5 sec time to build.
4. I added the ability and put the button on the command card.and linked it.
My queen can now make a spine crawler but its somewhat bugged/untweeked in a way i don't understand how i can fix it.
First problem.
The queen is "locked" while building it, i want it to be kinda like a creep tumor, she poops is out and after some time it's done. In other words only locked while pooping.
Second problem.
I want the queen to do the poop animation when she build it. Right now she just stand there and wait like a lame marine.
Third problem.
She make 2 units. 1 "under construction" building, kinda like when a drone is morphing AND a whole spine crawler. After 5 seconds the "under construction" unit vanish. and left is the Spine. I don't want the spine unit to appear before its finished.
How do i fix these three problems? If you can tell me how to fix only one then I'm happy
Solved some parts
First: Easy, it was in the ability properties.
Second: Still have problem with it. I even copy the spawn creep tumor ability and tested it, did not work. Now the tumor is messed up to. The queen turn 180 degrees but does not do the sound/animation to poop it but she does not even turn 180 degrees when i try to make the spinecrawler :(
Third: Kinda solved, i increased the building time and now it looks correct. Prob had something with how long animations take to do and it collided or something
Animations are in the unit's actor's events. Remember the question you asked about the nydus worm? Go back there and see if you can figure it out from there.
Still one bugg tho tho that bothers me some. When i make the spine she turn maybe only 120 degrees but with the creeptumor she turns 180 degree. Can this have something to do with how big the spine is?
Thank you so much btw, you have helped me allot! And you got to admit, my avatar is damn sexy ;)

So help me with nr 2 :)

Hmm yes, i remeber now, i have had a simular problem but this is kinda the next level of the same porblem. I think this animatios have 2-3 stages, hmm
Please help me figure out this out please :) I'm in the events and evrything looks ok.
I cant for example find the setting where the queen turn 180 degrees right before the building is started.
I apparently cant find the event where the queen start with the tumor.
Well, I'll have a look at the queen... I'm still learning as I go here.
Edit: The queen has an event that goes like this:
Abil.QueenBuild.WorkerStart
AnimPlay WorkStart Stand,Work,Start
Have a look in her events for that. See if you can copy it over and change it for your ability.
Yey, i got it to work! (before your last post)
Still one bugg tho tho that bothers me some. When i make the spine she turn maybe only 120 degrees but with the creeptumor she turns 180 degree. Can this have something to do with how big the spine is?
