I've been trying to familiarize my self with the data module and have been able to find tuts for most of the unit changes want to make for a map idea. but i cant seem to figure out creating custom buffs.
essentially I want to make an effect that increases the caster's speed movement speed by X and lasts for Y seconds.
it will be for a dark templar and the reason i add this is cause simply slapping charge or stimpack on him didn't seem to work, no button even, when i added it. figure it was because of the models/actors involved in those effects.
For my own benefit, someone can explain the reasons for this incompatibility if ya want to.
Hi all, noob editor question.

It has nothing to do with models/actors.
Go to your Dark Templar.
Add Stimpack to his abilities.
Go to Buttons and add the Stimpack button to his command card.
Link the Button to the Stimpack ability.
This will only work for Stimming the DT, so his/her attack speed will be increased, hp will take damage, etc.
I assume you would like to create a custom ability, but this should be a good start.

lol got that to work. for some reason when i tried that at first, the command card button did not show up :/ but its working now.
and i just modded the cost from 10 hp to 50 energy (yup my dt had energy atm) so i think that's all good
I still would like to figure out how custom buffs work. know good tuts that explain the basics?
RileyStarcraft made a tutorial for creating an ability from scratch.
