Ok first off Im extremely new to the editor....as in just started watching tutorials today I made my first unit but still feel I know very little, What I want to do is make a map for me and a friend to fight on, It needs to be a normal map with one exception, I need to make a building that can train heroes I don't care if they are Rayner and Kerrigan from the game or if I have to make jimbob the stimmed marrine. The problem is I don't know how to really choose how to change what my structures can build. Or how to make it train a Jimbob and not a Marine, not with out turning normal Marines into jimbobs.
I realize some pro probably read this and is laughing at my problem due to the simplicity but can someone either shed some light on what to do or point me at a tutorial that might help, there just seems to be a bunch that I don't even know where to begin.
It's not so easy actually, even if you have the unit you want to create.
You need to go to the structure that you want to be able to build units in the data editor, and under the ability tab you want to edit the command card to add a new button. Click on an empty button, then click the green >X symbol. Then you just pick a button graphic, and click Okay. Then you want to change command type to Ability Command, leave requirements as (none), change Ability: to <structure> - Train. Then you want to click View next to the Train bit to add a new training option.
When that pops up, you want to double click an empty slot. Here, at the top you want to select a button again, then way at the bottom, add the units you want to train with the green >X. Then you have to go back to the structure, reselect the button, then change Ability Command: to the unit you want to train.
Awesome thank you for the advice I will try it tomorow and see how it goes (almost 5 am here .) but would you say it would be easier to create Jimbob or use raynor etcetera, I really don't care but both my friend and I want to have a map with heros suplimenting our normal force. Also despite being way out of my league this map editor is WAY cool.
