hi guys!!! im pretty new at SC2 map editing so i have a few questions i need to be answered.
1. BIGGEST QUESTION OF ALL!!!! i want to make my nexus only placeable on top of a protoss beacon (large). i made the nexus' footprint and the model size 3x3, like the protoss beacon, and added Behavior: Built on to protoss beacon (large). But when i place my nexus in-game it shows a light blue outline (like refineries and assimilators on top of a geyser) over the protoss beacon, but i can't actually place my nexus there. i basically looked at the vespene geyser and refinery and copied everything i see on it to the nexus and protoss beacon, but it doesn't work.
2. [SOLVED] im pretty sure this is actually pretty simple, but i dont know how to do it :( how can i make the guardian shield take off a percentage of the damage coming in?
3. [SOLVED] another probably-simple question. how can i take out the predator's splash damage?
4. [SOLVED[ i gave the defensive matrix (BC) to my zealot. however in-game the ability icon doesnt show up and i cant use it. the zealot has many different abilities (charge, blink, forcefield, guardian shield) but the defensive matrix doesnt work. also, if the defensive matrix works, i want to know how to cancel it once you attack while you used the ability.(i also need to get the attack=cancel ability with cloak, by the way.)
5. [SOLVED] i tried giving a nexus the void ray's attack. under Combat: Weapons i put the void ray's prismatic beam, but when i go into the game it doesnt attack (even tho the Attack icon is highlighted) i made the nexus turnable.
5.5 gave the nexus the void ray's attack, but the laser beam comes out of the middle of the building. i want to make it come out from the top. how do i do this?
6. how can you make it so that you can build specific buildings on ramps? like im talking about 2x2 buildings on giant ramps.
7. [SOLVED] i put a monolyth (the green pylon thingy) on the map but in game i can't click on it. i think a few days ago i made it clickable but now i forget how and i have no idea how to make it clickable.
8. [SOLVED] how do you change the image thingy that you see when you click on a unit?(i dont know what it is called:( the thing on top of the health/energy/shields and changes to yellow, orange and red from green)
Thank you guys for helping me out!!! i hope to be an awesome map editor soon!!! :D
