Currently I am making a somewhat simple mod mainly for fun.
At one point I went to edit some building stats like health and shields.
After editing the Nexus's health and shields (both starting and max), the changes do not appear in game. The changes work for every other unit and building. I am also experiencing the same phenomenon when editing the damage of a vikings Gatling Guns, and the price of some upgrades like Combat Shields for marines.
After I set the dependency of the map to be the mod, I can look in the data editor, and see that the Nexus's health and shields are indeed different, and the fields are orange, indicating they are getting the value from the mod, but it doesnt work! The only way I can make it work is by editing the value for the map specifically.
Also note I have changed the prices of upgrades, the health of structures, and damage of units on other entities, but these few things seem to be acting strangely.
I have Googled the crap out of this to no avail.
Why is this happening?

The goal is to make a mod that I can apply to any SC2 Map.
I am connected to the internet when I hit the green SC2 button (Test Document / Ctrl F9), but it does not ask me to sign in at any point. My map is marked as Melee < is that bad?
Here is what I do:
I create a new Mod with the dependency set as SwarmMulti.SC2Mod, and with a name of "Test Mod.SC2Mod"
I alter the Nexus's shield and max shield to be 2000.
Then I create a new Melee Map with the dependency set as HOTS (it forces me to chose that or WOL).
Then I change dependency of the new map to be "Test Mod.SC2Mod".
I look in the Data Editor of the map and see that the Nexus's data is orange, and inheriting from the mod.
I run the map, and the changes aren't there.
If I edit the numbers for the map, (so they override the mod), then it works.
@Strikerklm96: Go top menu -> map -> map info, in one of the tabs there are options Custom and Arcade, switch it to arcade and give it more tests. I know it affects online data but Im not sure about offline tests.

@Strikerklm96: Go does this happen when testing offline or online? Is your map marked as custom or arcade?

You cannot make changes to melee; its setup for use in leagues where they do not want changes to balancing. It will not use the changes.

How do I switch a map from melee to custom?
