First of all. I'm new to this site. My name is Maarten and nice to meet ya'll. :)

Ability: 'Swarm Queen - Train'
The ability of the Swarm Queen Niadra has a Ability called Swarm Queen - Train.
In that ability are several commands to morph specific units. Like Train zergling, roach or hydra. The ability let the Swam Queen brood an egg which will hatch after a time to spawn that unit.
My question/observation:
If I change there the vitals (for instance energy, so when I give the a ability an enery cost) of a command, the eggs won't morph nor hatch.
I could not think of a reason why energy cost would influence the morphing of that layed egg.
Can someone explain me why this happens and tell me how I can give that ability an energy cost without this issue?
Hopefully someone can help me with this. Would appreciate it :)

Question 1:
I was wondering where you can change the looks of an unit its life bar/energy bar. For example Swarm Queen Niadra has an awesome fancy life/energy bar with her name on it. Checked it out in data, but cannot find the parameters which are responsible for that different version. Someone can tell me where to find those?

Q1: check unit's actor for status bar or health bar (don't remember how it called) u can copy string from HotS heroes.
Oh yes. I found it. HotS_UnitStatus/KerriganHeroUnitStatusFrameTemplate is the string. I think I missed it, I checked Combat of Actor too. Thanks, Question 1 is solved.

Someone can help me with Question 2?
can u post test map with ur ability? mb i can tell u whats wrong if i take a look.
I put a file on attachment. I placed a Swarm Queen on the field with 2 abilities. Train zerglings and Train roach, both are the default command in the ability Swarm Queen Train. However, Train zerglings doesn't have energy cost en is working properly. The Train roach is identical, but has an energy cost. But doesn't work. You can test it. I put a Niadra on the map.
Dunno, if you were able to solve your problem, but I had the same issue. Interestingly enough, the answer lied within your question. You see, if you give an energy requerement for the train ability, which uses a proxy unit, that proxy unit needs to have energy himself to be able to train the unit you want. So, in short, just give a few hundred energy to the Zerg Cocoon proxy unit and you are good to go ;)

PS: I deleted Question 1 because it's solved.
Welcome to the site!
For question 2: Are you able to cast the ability? You will need to give the unit casting the ability an energy pool.
Yes, the unit has energy and can cast the ability. It lays an egg, but the egg does't hatch and doesn't show progress bar of the morphing.
