bah, I don't know if you should even bother. Aside from a little tweak, it's not really Uber. But I have something in the works involving Neural Parasite that WILL BE Uber ;)
How did you get the attached units to "rock" with the battlecruiser. The battlecruiser rocks slowly from side to side in its stand animation.
They do that because they are attached to the battlecruiser obviously. Every uber made here was done completely without triggers, done entirely by the data editor.
All I did was set the pylon models to attach to pre-existing attachment points on the battlecruiser. Afterwards the battlecruiser itself has weapons/effects/and actors that create the thunder attack effects and the ubercannon thunder effects. The pylon's are not units, simply models that show up at the attachment points. The pylons are just model addition actors, they are just for visual effect. If I take away the pylons the ubercruiser will still fight normally. But the visuals might be screwed up (lightning fireing from underneath the battlecruiser and such).
If you follow the tutorial I linked it can show you how to attach the model's accordingly, it will stick onto the battlecruiser's model where you specify. And any movement that occurs from the attachment point will in turn move the grafted model as well.
why are you calling it uber?..... its a custom ability name the topic as such.....
I'm calling them uber as a parody of the Uberlisk. Figure I'd give the whole group of them the title Uber's to mark how unnecessarily powerful they are.
But it's not just if the unit has high stats or does high damage, it's how ridiculously wild the attacks are. Or basically, how visually appealing they are to watch.
But mostly, they are just fun to make. I feel like making a competitive map involving all these uber's and make it a sort of "godzilla" type map where the objective is to cause the most destruction. Mostly though, these are just unit's made through exploring the data editor, each one helps me get a better idea on what I want to make as the fun factor.
Well jeez... I went crazy today. Here's the fruit of my labor... The Hulking Horror.
Background "Story": A Top Secret Viking of massive proportions codenamed "Frigg" [ Haha see what I did there... Odin... Frigg... get it.... no???? :'( ] was being developed at an undisclosed location when the Zerg invaded the planet said base was located on. The Zerg overran the planet, and Kerrigan, realizing the power and uses this could have, decided to have it infested. This is the Hulking Horror released upon the Starcraft Universe.

I submit to you, Mass Neural Parasite! Parasite everything! From burrowed / cloaked / frenzied / buildings / Point Defense Drones / EVERYTHING!
I just can't record videos. Looks bad ass too!
@BorgDragon: Go
When I get the ability too, i'll make a video and post it for ya.

Ehh, I think with a little sprucing it can be epic enough.
I have to say it's pretty funny hearing a parasited siege tank or parasited marauder.

I learned how to attach them by using this tutorial http://forums.sc2mapster.com/resources/tutorials/8926-data-working-with-attachments-beginner-difficulty/

Actually, I think that's too epic. It lagged my computer to pieces. Nice work. :D
