Was pretty obvious but there is just so much stuff you can change under model that I didn't see it.

You just go to Data , select the Destructible Rock 6x6 for example, go to Model , scroll down to "Texture Applied Groups" and select whatever type you want (for me it was Char). Now your Rock has Char texture or whatever you chose

I hope that's helpful for others as well.

BUT I tried to do the same thing with Gas Geysers and for some reason it didn't work.

Can you make screens of this Oo

Nice find on those tileset based textures!

I have a question too. Is it possible to change the size (and footprints) if destructible rocks without loosing the melee tag? And if so, how?

cheers,
madsquare.

I asked the same thing earlier about Destructible Rocks and found a solution:

I managed to change the texture of the gas geysers on my map Spaced without any problems. No idea what I did though, was way over a month ago.

How do you display a variable, such as a changing price, in a text message? As it stands right now, I have to have a separate trigger for each value? Surely there is an easier way?

ZaplinG, if I understand your question correctly, this is what you seek:


Actions:

Text Message
    Message: Combine Text
        Text 1: (No Value)
        Text 2: Combine Text
            Text 1: (No Value)
            Text 2: Combine Text
                 Text 1: (No Value)
                 Text 2: (Combine Text)
                         .......
                         .......
Player: All Players
Message Area: Subtitle

And so on.

By the way, I'm having some problems with attack animations. I just added new weaponry to my units and deleted the old settings. All new projectiles and such show up properly, but some of the units won't use their attack animation while some of the others does.
How and where do I address this issue?

Thanks for the speedy response, Snowyowl! I'm not entire sure what that code is doing, but I think I have something similar to that (not at my computer right now). It works along the lines of:

If (variable 1) = (value)
Then display (text message)
Else
If (variable 1) = (value 2)
Then display (text message 2)
Else
...

And so on. But what I'm wondering is if there is some kind of code inside the text message itself that lets me only have one message that changes according to an integer's value. Like,

If any unit enters (region)
Then display text message: "The cost of this item is [the changing value of variable 1]"

That way it would be a simple one line thing and would cut down on so much bloat.

Is your increase/decrease in cost linear or random? How is the increase/decrease set? (Over time?)
If the answer is yes to both questions above, it's really simple.

Assuming it's yes on both, here's something of what I assume you're looking for.


Variable - Create a variable of type Integer called Costs.


Trigger 1 {Increase/Decrease over time}
    
    Event
        Timer - Every X seconds of Game Time {You set X}

    Actions
        Variable - Set Costs = {Use Arithmetic} {Starting value} +/- {Increase/Decrease in value}


Trigger 2

    Event
        {Specify event}

    Actions
        Text Message
            Message: Combine Text
                Text 1: "The cost of this item is "
                Text 2: {Convert integer to string} (Costs)
            Players: (Triggering player) {Triggering player requires a player to trigger the set event}

I see now that I was a bit unclear in my previous message, just a minor bug.

Actions
    Variable - Set Costs = {Use Arithmetic} {Starting value} +/- {Increase/Decrease in value}

Should of course look like this:

Actions
    Variable - Set Costs = {Use Arithmetic} (Costs) +/- {Increase/Decrease in value}

The difference is that in the first version you can increase/decrease the value only once, because each time the trigger is executed it resets to the starting value and increases by a set amount. With the corrected trigger, it takes the previous value and increases it by a set amount.

just search for iccup on battle.net. if you are a total noob, just go to create game in the menus and use the search tool there. im sure you can search for those gsl maps if you type the direct name.

How do you reset all data to parent data? In other words erase custom changes to the standard melee data?

OR I wonder how to change the model for a unit? Say I have a spine crawler and I want to change the model to Aiur Overmind Intestines?
