I'm a starbattle player, and I wanted to edit a carrier into a tempest for testing to submit to the creator.
Problem: SC2Editor is ... wow. Complex.
I've seen people do some amazing things with that editor, but I cannot find anything so basic as "shrink unit".
I want to take a carrier, shrink it to 50% normal size from the starbattle map, give it hardened shields, some slow firing cannons from the immortal, throw a few abilities in there (which from what I've seen I might be able to figure out the last couple)...
I noticed that someone totally rebuilt the tempest apparently from scratch, at least I saw a youtube video showing it and several other ships.
I throw myself at the feet of my mapmaking/unitmaking betters.
What do I do.
How do I do it.
Or, if somebody has already done it, can I have the data? :)
Size: Go into the Data Editor, then find the Carrier Unit, then go to the Carrier Actor, then search for "Scale". There should be an option for that, set X, Y, and Z all to 0.5. This will half the Carrier's size.
Weapon: Go back to the Carrier Unit. Go to Combat, scroll down to Combat- Weapons. Click the Green X and select the Immortal Weapon. To edit it, go into the left panel and scroll down to either the damage effect or the Weapon itself.
Abilities: Go back to the Carrier Unit, then click Abilities. Click the Green X, then add one from the dropdown menu. To actually make some, go read a tutorial.
Under the unit actor you can select what model your unit uses, under the campaign dependencies you find alot of models that werent used like the tempest, lazer tank, old infestor, sunken colony missile, roach tentacle, guardian missile, devourer missile etc. Simply make a new model and select the tempest and use that for your actor.

There's plenty of DE tutorials but:
