Thank you so much!

I didn't know Arrays can have dimensions to account for all the possible Player combinations, so I thank you for showing me how to do it :D

Take care ^^

Hi, there,

Sorry that I misunderstood your request, the best way is to create a Trigger with the following:-

Event : Unit Uses Ability (Your morph Ability)

Condition : Unit Type of (Triggering Unit) == (The Unit that uses the morph ability)

Action : Create model (Your model) at Point (Specify the point -> eg. Position of (Triggering Unit))

Thanks. Hopefully, this solves your problem. Feel free to ask if you have any further issues.

Is there a reason you can't do this in the data editor?

In reply to dudkisc2:

 do you want to rebuild, replace or revive them?

for rebuild(AI rebuilds the specified unit types) there are 2 rebuild triggers. one is working with object class (unit, building) and one with unit types. it requires active AI I think.

for replace (change a unit to other unit defined by unit types also stats can be moved too)there is a trigger that changes a specified unit(last created, picked unit, triggering unit, value, variable, etc.) with another unit of the given unit type. for exmaple changes a placed marine to marauder. or can change all marine in a unit group to marauders. for tha last example you must put the marines in to unit group.

for revive, (revive the unit that died)there is a trigger that revives a specified unit. Important that the trigger only work by itself if the a revive is instant after the unit dies, and uses the dying position as revive point. If you want some time before it happens, you must put the dying unit into a variable, and later ony use this variable in the unit part. Also there is 2 hero revive function but I didn't tested it yet. In star craft 2 the revive works with any units, not just with heroes, as in warcraft 3 where only heroes can be revived, or at least it was like this before reforged.

I can't find the unit or behavior you are talking about (I did not purchase the Nova mission packs, which might be why).  However, just based on your description here are some things you could look at:

- Look at the Stats: Death Time field of the unit.  If this is anything but 0, the unit will take some time to actually be removed after it dies. 

- Try going to the Effect: Effect - Final field of one of the behaviors you are working with and adding a Suicide effect to kill the Hyperion after the behavior stops. 

- If you have any Create Persistent effects surrounding the Jump Out (you probably do; they're very common), try adding a Suicide final effect there as well. 

As to your bonus question: create a Create Persistent effect that fires instead of spawning the Hyperion right away, with an expire delay of a few seconds.  In the Effect: Effect - Expire field, create a Create Unit effect to spawn the Hyperion.  Then attach some actors to the persistent effect with the "jump in" model and sound. 

I hope these help!

I'm playing around with the AI, and I'm learning to use it to do various different things like attack waves, and building a basic base.

Now we all know that with pre-placed units, you can simply go to the AI tab of the unit and choose how many times you want the unit to be replaced if killed. Now my question is, how do I make the AI replace units that have been created, and are not pre-placed, because I've made a base for the AI player and he will get attacked by another enemy. I've noticed that the attack waves work fine, and the AI makes units out of the Barracks etc. but they won't actually replace the units I've created on the field when they die.

I tried activating Bullies for all units in the region they're in, but that didn't seem to work. I think it has something to do with Bullies, but I'm not sure as I'm not too keen on all the AI trigger options.

Someone out there who are more experienced who can perhaps help me out? Thanks in advance.
