I'm working to give them the same food cost as Zerglings... (0.5 food)

Am I allowed to get help from other people on something like editing models?
If so, If someone could remove the "goblin running out of the building" animation from the Goblin Merchant building, I would be hugely grateful and would +rep.

This will cause a bit of a lag (like it does now), but it won't do so for any more casts, which is good.

...But if someone with the experience that you have says this, this means that probably it's the more "orthodox" way

Thanks, Pyro!
Really, a race can have a bit of funny points but be at the same level of the other races... wait and see. :P

I can give it a quick try, but I can't assure you that:

1. It's allowed (Dusk gave the OK, so it's allowed)
2. I'll make something good... -.-

UPDATE: Try this, I can't test it now, so if there are problems, report them to me.

cosmicat · 03-13-2009, 11:16 AM

Will the player be able to build 2 at a time? (i.e. a trigger creates a warrior at position of trained unit each time a warrior is trained)

Update: Exactly what is he supposed to try? You didn't actually upload anything. >_>

Strange... I see the attachment and it works... site refresh?

cosmicat · 03-13-2009, 11:27 AM

Um, now I see the link. That was weird. Sorry about that!

Michael Peppers · 03-13-2009, 11:39 AM

No Problem,　コスミカエト。。。　:P

@ bobbuttons: In the case you don't notice, I edited one of my posts with the model you asked for. You still have to ask if it's allowed, though...

Dragoon · 03-13-2009, 12:03 PM

Yes, I got the split food thingy work

You can Tot... And it is possible, but you need to "trigger" the lightning.

That's the JASS line: native SetLightningColor takes lightning whichBolt,real r,real g,real b,real a returns boolean.
And if you use GUI, there's a BJ for it as well.

Wich one?

@all other (especially @Peppers and Dusk)
is there a limit for dummy-units and what counts as a dummy unit?

Dummies are things that help casting an ability or helping triggers work. There's no limit for them

Exactly. Oh, and I really appreciate my name near that of Dusk.

Tot · 03-13-2009, 02:31 PM

@Peppers and Dragoon:
Does the e.g. Orc-Spiritwalker(Astral) count as Dummy, although he does not help an ability to work?

I think so, it's a shapeshift ability.

Can I add particle emitters to "fix" one animation quirk for the Tarvern model, since it's got the "Stand work" sequence, but there is nothing indicating that it is doing that animation.

Yes, that would be fine so long as -

You adhere to the filesize limit.
You change nothing else about the model.

I lost you, if he doesn't help an ability to work, what's his purpose, shapeshifting?

For the unit limits we don't count neither dummies nor simply shapeshifts (like Headhunter-Warrior, or Spiritwalker(normal)-Spiritwalker(astral)), but we count heavily modifying ones (like Acolyte-Shade or Obsidian Statue-Destroyer)

Dusk, I'm helping modifying a model for "bobbuttons" since he got no mac programs to do that, it's allowed?
