it does appear on the featured picture when loading the map but not ingame...

Ok I found it. Apparently you need to find
CTerrain_FogEnabled and set it to "1". Which is really misleading because fog appears in the editor without it.

I can't seem to make a supply depot that doesn't cost resources to raise/lower... very confusing to me... it even seems like the ability to lower is set to cost nothing. Any thoughts?
I just want to have the normal supply depot that can raise/lower for free, but raise the HP of it.
Adding the melee dependencies worked for the units like medivac+reaper... but not in this case.
EDIT:
I fixed the issue of having the depot cost minerals to raise/lower... which variable represents the cost of it being built?

How do I make it in the map editor to enable probes to build spines and spines can be placed without creep?

I want to have the depot cost 1 unit of a non-mineral resource, because the game is turn based, and players are to be limited in regards to how many depots they can construct per turn. (I guess ideally, it would be such that a specific trigger results in the capacity for a user to place a depot [as if you had selected a worker and pressed "b" then "s", and the transparent green model is representing the mouse-cursor].
Also it wouldn't let me edit the stats of the existing depots... all faded out and unclickable, so I think I'm working with a copy or something. Either that or there are 4 different depots and this is the only one it is letting me change. I have the HP set now, but yeah still looking to change cost-to-build.

you would change the ability of the drone, its requirements (presence of creep needed, use of said drone etc) and then apply it to the probe (would the probe disappear ..?)
i think it might be easier to copy another unit and give it the spine's features (?)

supply depots seem real easy but they are not for starters we are talking about 2 units (burrowed or standard)
as for costs, they are set in several fields in your case (the burrow/unburrow) i would think it is in the ability that you want to change stats

Firstly, make sure you're working with the correct dependencies (there should only be 2 depots; a raised depot and lowered depot). Next, you need to make sure that both of these units have identical costs, otherwise you're going to see a cost requirement on the raise/lower ability.

WhalesFromSpace - like enord said, you are working with 2 separate units, and using a Morph ability to switch between the two. Make sure the Unit:Cost fields are the same for both. Make sure your Morph ability does not have a resource cost. Finally, make sure the editor is not referencing the cost of an additional unit - that can happen if you copied your morph ability from somewhere else, the game will sum the total costs of all the preceding morph units in line before your final morph. Personally I find morphs to be a huge pain in the ass.

In short: - Add the Spine Crawler unit to the probe's Build Ability and command card - Remove any creep related behaviors from the Spine Crawler unit - Change the Spine Crawler's placement Footprint to something that doesn't require creep - Change the Spine Crawler's Actor's foundation/footprint - Add Spine Crawler build events to Protoss Building Contstruction Small actor

Thanks.
I did the probe one but still trying to find the creep part. Is it in the unit data for the spine crawler?

Change the Movement: Pathing Footprint: Placement to something that doesn't say creep

Can the minerals and gas only be set to 9999?

Its for my map and yeah is it possible to raise the cap above 9999?

I have some doodads with annoying sound ("Lava Flare") and they don't shut up when I tick the "disable sound emitters" checkbox. How can I mute those doodads while keeping the map a melee map?

I created a hero, but it keeps gaining experience whenever another unit around it gets a kill... I changed some parameters of its veterancy behaviour, but it still keeps happening. Not sure if it is an attribute of the other units, or the hero itself... anyone know the change that I have to make, such that the hero only gains experience for its own kills?

From my understanding, the resource cap is 9999. I haven't heard of anyone finding a workaround to increase it, though I'll be honest when I say I haven't had any reason to extensively research the matter.

Probably been asked before but I could not find it.
How do you change base height for the background fog level? (On texture tilesets which has background fog faaar down)
|
In the data editor, texture sets, find the tileset you're using, the field is called Fog:Height or Starting Height I believe

Really having trouble figuring this out... I feel like I have attempted all permutations of relevant data attributes. Allied units, heroes or not, are giving my new hero experience, every time that they get a kill... I just want to turn that off. Searching for info on this has only shown me that this behaviour is not intended to be default... I don't even know how I turned it on lol.
My understanding is that with Shared Fraction, and Shared Radius set to 0, that my hero should not be gaining experience when nearby allied units get kills.
+ Show Spoiler +
I also excluded everything from shared filters so I don't know what the fuck is going on.
+ Show Spoiler +
I would be very grateful for any direction in regards to this... so much of my time is being used up trying to address such a seemingly simple issue.
