Thanx for the tutorial! It helped me alot (powerups rock!) but I did have an issue with getting the remove effect to work. I finally got it to work by using PickupRemove(Unnamed) instead of making a new effect to use in the set. Don't know why this one works and the custom one doesn't since all the settings are identical as far as I can see, but I just thought I'd share incase anyone else was haveing the same problem.
You guys rock! I got my powerups working properly now. Thanx for pointing me in the right direction. In case anyone else has the same problem I actually had to replace the destroy effect that the tutorial directs you to create with PickupRemove(Unnamed) Don't know why this worked, 'cause from everything I can see the settings for both are the same. Now if I can just figure out why my command center no longer has upgrade to orbital command button and my orbital command no longer has the Calldown: Mule and scanner sweep buttons in-game I'll be all set. Everything in the command card and all the other settings(unit, effects, behaviors, etc.) seems to be right.
@ TheAlmaity->thanx, I got the models set up now sothey show up right, but cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong with the item. It shows up properly now, and applies the buff, but doesn't dissapear when picked up, (can run my uber marine over it as many times as i want and it just stays there).
Also, I downloaded some of the models from Zarakk's thread and can't seem to figure out how to use them (wanted to use the spinning planets for my power-ups, stuck with just the random item models (crate) atm) I followed the steps in the thread for the import, but can't seem to find the models in the list. Any help on this one would be appreciated, thnx.
Hello all, let me start out by thanking all the experienced members that have given their time and effort to writing excellent tutorials many of which have helped me alot already. That being said, I can't seem to find anything for those of us who really know nothing about the new galaxy editor. I've used the old sc and wc editors to great affect but the galaxy editor is just not nearly as user friendly. I'm sure there have been many posts covering the basics, but i just can't seem to find them (quite possibly due to operator error when using the search box) I'd be really gratefull if anyone could point me in the right direction for begginer stuff. Also, If someone could answer a couple of specific questions that woould be awsome. I followed DragonGuard1's tutorial for creating collectable power-ups step by step exactly and all I get is 1/2 a ping-pong ball that just sits there and does nothing. Also used Blackveiled's tut for new unit creation and the unit moves and fires properly, but still, 1/2 a ping-pong ball. (subliminal message that i shpuld but a paddle maybe? I want my Uber Marine!) Anyway, I have no Idea what I'm doing wrong so if someone could look at this and tell me where i screwed up I'd be gratefull. The map is published on bnet, named Messin' 'Round and the name of the units i'm haveing trouble with are Uber Marine and SpeedBuff. Thanx in advance for your help.
