Hey guys, is there a way to make a new ability button? If so, can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial? There is not a button to say... Warp in one of those random vehicles like the L2 Speedwheeler, or the Mohican ATV, or the Cruiser. Is there any way I can make a button and make it warp in or build one of those units?
Thanks
Do you want a new button data object with an associated tooltip and hotkey? You can easily create those in the data editor. Check out the data tutorials, for example for custom abilities.
Or do you want the button to use a new picture? Just use any image manipulation program, create or change a picture as you like and import it in your map (search for some tutorials on this site)

well, i know how to make a new ability and assign it a button and requirements and all that. But say i want to build a Speedwheeler from a Terran Factory; I go in the data editor, and add the ability button, than ill set the command type to Ability Command, than under Ability, i cannot find anything related to building an L2 Speedwheeler. So i need to make a new ability that goes in that category that says "build -unit name here-" But i cannot figure out how to make one.
Unless thats what you are saying?
If so, thanks, ill look a little close in the tutorials.
Under Ability - Abilities - Ability you need to put in your Train type ability enabling you to build your unit. This field enables the unit to use any of the abilities in the command cards. Then you put in the command card for it with the train ability and the unit to train at the far bottom.
If in doubt look at how the barracks does the units it trains.
