hey guys i need an helper for my map battle suit on europe servers

map is based on an special forces

u got an civilian that can calldown suits that he can enter very different types of suits are aviable for different costs and with lots of attachments

what i need help for: currently the attached turrets or units are just visibly and i used an trigger to attach the turrets units with an invisible model to the unit so the attached stuff does not rotate not cklickable but invisible turrets still does dmg and shoot anim etc

what i want: basicly the same like in voidcraft clickable turrets on the suits that can be upgradet to stronger turrets or tanks what ever the one that can help me will be written as an mapmaker in loadingscreen and can feel free to make suggestions to the map

map can allready be found at side 2 on european servers

hope an skilled data man can help me^^

greez alucard

first i will do give every one credits when i finished the map no worries

second i just used the units i found on free downloadable maps so i dont think its stealing

3th good to know didnt saw it yet with the civilian will fix this thanks for the info

4th i am stil lsearching for an method to change the convertet units status from biological to structure so they dont die that fast allso i wil lgive every unit an level up system

for the main theme: i allready found an method how it works but i actualy dont understand it correctly maybe u can take a look at it

http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/data/17850-attaching-actors/

yes but he/she isnt aviable

i know with the trigger method its pretty easy but it dont looks that good like with the data

isnt there a way to make the unit spawn if my unit main unit has been spawned and set the offset by an SOp make it attached on my unit and selectable but still be able to make the main unit selectable to?

i mean in an simple way

i dont even need the correct facing

thats an good idea i could just make upgrades that changes the weapons that the attachments are using but how can i do change the moddels from the attachments via data again in trigegrs its easy but how to in data =)

ah yea i make an validator under actor if upgrade is purches etc right?

same like with the dark protos model swap

it does =) dont know what he did wrong

slow move is very good on late stage where u need to push especialy if ur alone
i was thinking about removing the graviton and give splash speel again
fixed the vortex
i didnt made much on writing stuff like descriptions yet becouse map is still in alpha stage thats only  side stuff that i will do when i finished the more necesary stuff

i did the prised  that high becouse you shouldnt be able to buy all quick when u come at base u will get some vispene geysears that will give u enough gas to buy needet upgrades

lag is coused becouse of the mass of units i dont got any problems there but im still looking for an solution to make it more playable for ppl with no high end pcs

yes i will do for every turret  2 trees so u can decide wich tree u go

I have no problem if you want to use the Hulking Horror Uber I "made" a while back, but if you already have the map posted on BNet, why would you wait until AFTER you complete the map in full to give credit where it's due? Credit should be given the minute you use something that someone else did wether the map is complete or not.

I'm thinking it might take a while to reach that stage(completed) since you yourself are hoping to get a data editor on your team/to help you out.

The map was posted so that other people could learn and see how it was done(and to get their own ideas), not so it could straight up be taken and thrown into their map with NO credit whatsoever, and without even asking.

It's not like I'm inactive on the site or just disappeared off the planet and there was no way to even message me to ask.

It's just polite to ask is all. Some people would be livid.

as u can see i changed the hulking hoorer to fit in my map i jsut took the name and the attachments

and i allready made the credits

i uploadet to test with my frends and make my beta testers the map aviable to play

im sorry if i did something that made u mad wasnt thinking that people will have problems with it in future i will ask bevore

@DrSuperEvil:

i think i will do it like it is and just change the weapons effects with upgrades

i will do some specific upgrades for each tree like the flamer can buy side splash or front splash and can get only 1 tech tree etc  and i will do specific upgrades like u can choose between higher armor but less dmg then (tank mode)

or higher dmg with less survivability

im open for any suggestions, that will be give credits on loadingscreen

allso i could do an personal comand for helpers or people i got units from like borgdragon =)

sure the attack visuals get changed but not the turret or thor on itself becouse i cant get it to work to change model after upgrade dont know why i did it like with an normal actor but it does not work with the attachments
