I've been trying to use doodads as creatively as possible but I'm having trouble. I need to know how to make a doodad like a unit and how I can find them once I've created them. How can I turn a doodad into a piece of terrain, like the docking platform. Do I need an outside program? Is there a way to make doodads move along a path? Guess I'm looking for some advanced doodad creation and manipulation tutorials.
This should have been posted in tutorial requests but didn't need to be posted at all in the first place as I know for a fact there are tutorials teaching all of these things.
And you rotate a doodad the same way you rotate anything else, select it, and hold control + right click to turn it
No not quite what I was asking. I had seen other request tags used in this manner so I thought that was the procedure. I know how to rotate and manipulated doodads, but I'm looking for ones that teach you how to create them and manipulate them. I've used the search functions and but most seem to gloss over this information. Or not be exactly what I've been looking for, such as http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/artist-tavern/3475-creative-doodad-uses/?page=2#p24 which is very handy, but still doesn't cover what I'm looking to achieve.
Such as turning a regular unit into a doodad. Making that doodad, animate it along paths. And other techniques such as that. I've viewed a lot of tutorials that have gotten me this far but I can't find any that address my concerns. Thanks.
Those are doodads edited in a 3d program to add in the units, I believe, other wise the author just ahd the units play an animation with triggers and then froze the units.
I'll work on a tutorial showing how to make units into doodads tomorrow, I would right now if I wasn't going to bed soon.

Much appreciated. I'll keep an eye out for it, have been banging my head trying to do it all night.

I'll send you a PM with a link to it when I make it.
