I'm creating a Towerdefense map right now and already created a cuple of custom towers. I'm using the probe as a base.
I do however have 2 small issues with my custom towers so far, if anyone can help me, that would be great :(
a) When building my custom Thor tower, it does not have a warp in time, no matter how long I set it to in the Ability info window. (my photon cannon does have it for example). No idea where the difference is :(
b) When dragging a window around my builder and the Thor towers, the Thors get selected instead of my Probe. With the cannons that's also not the case.
Anyone already encountered these issues and knows how to fix them?
I was just saying that even if i raise all the priority fields on my builder unit to 100 or lower them to 1 neither of those let me select the builder when highlighting an area. I will always end up selecting my raven tower(probably because its a caster).
just give your building actor the one of the protoss building birth models.(set the model(Build) field for your building's actor to protoss building birth). Then make sure it has the building in progress ability and it should warp in like any other building.
Ah, will try that once I get home, sounds promising, I am pretty sure I don't have the building in progress ability and that's why it skips over it.
For a), might that be related to the races? Since the Thor tower is probably still Terran for me and the builder is protoss. Will investigate with the priorities and the races later tonight.
i have the same problem with my td, has anyone a solution?
my probe gets selected over most my towers but not all. eg my arrow tower has a higher priority. i messed with every data field that could affect the priority but couldn't get it to work.

Heya,

bump, i'm having the same problem as B.
For part A are you warping it in or building it? and does it have the warpable/building in progress ability?
The problem with b is priority rates. You can find them in the units in the data editor. Mess with the values.
ive tried raising and lowering all the subgroup priorities and the glossary priority but they dont seem to have any affect.

Can u tell it detailedly? I'm searched it long time. Thank u first!

i'm sorry. i mean how to warp in building.
just give your building actor the one of the protoss building birth models.(set the model(Build) field for your building's actor to protoss building birth). Then make sure it has the building in progress ability and it should warp in like any other building.
@Docablo: Go Thank u very much. I tried over 1hour,and failed. I'll try again.

yay, it was the ability. thanks!
hm race for builder and tower both are protoss and still same behaviour
