[negleglumenglemur]

im very new to the world of modding...
i read some tutorials and i created a new building w/ shield with the slot of the unused STARBASE
the problem is that when its builded, it doesnt show the HP(2000) nor Shield (100) numbers. in the wireframe it says BLANK cuz' i still dont modified that...
so.. how can i solve this??

[hidiho2]

Why just not modify an exsisting unit? It's alot easier that way.

Yea otherwise you need scripts...and that can get nasty.

plz ANYONE!!!!

Can you post the mod here or at least the part of it that isn't working? it'll be easier to see exactly what's wrong.
Also post your scripts, did you do them in ICE or ICECC? ICE sometimes causes problems if you don't treat it carefully...

Hi negleglumenglemur, welcome to WarBoards.org!

Try reducing the HP and shields to numbers with three digits, if you get too many numbers on one line StarCraft sometimes can't display them.

Why just not modify an exsisting unit? It's alot easier that way.
I think hidiho had the right idea here, creating a new unit or building takes advanced skills, and so it is better to start from something smaller and work your way up. I actually think that you'll learn how to create a new unit faster this way, and what's more, you'll understand a lot more about modding and so will be able to create much more complicated mods.

thnks BSTRhino i will try that :)

...but can be a wireframe problem too???

[BSTRhino]

You mean the BLANK wireframe? In StarCraft, there are three wireframe GRP files (regular wireframe, transport wireframe and group wireframe.) Every unit has a wireframe in each of the GRP file, and the frame number for the unit will be its unit ID. So unit 0 (the Terran Marine) will be frame 0 in each of the GRP files.

Replacing the BLANK wireframe for your unit in each of these three files will fix your wireframe problem. There is too much to explain about how to get that working in one post given my time restrictions sorry, but I have written a GRP tutorial that is getting prepared for upload to StarCraft.org on the open of the customs section, and that will give you about half the knowledge you'll need to fix your wireframe. If you work at it you'll be able to find out the rest from what I've told you.

[JarquaFelmu]

speaking of ICE, whats the trick on getting it to open up? getting it to display off the information.

[negleglumenglemur]

what do u mean?

[negleglumenglemur]

hello?? BSTRhino help me!

[BSTRhino]

negleglumenglemur, I don't know what to look for what might be wrong with your mod because you haven't described any kind of problem with it. Which error did you want me to look at?

JarqaFelmu, with ICE, you need to open an iscript file to use it. If you just want to look at the default iscript file, just go to File > Load Default. I think that's what you're asking, I'm not sure though.

[negleglumenglemur]

oh sry.
the problem is in a terran new building (it is in advanced buildings menu and it has an icon of stimpack(i guess))

It doesnt show the HP BAR

[negleglumenglemur]

BSTRHino! Help Plz!

[Calibius]

you know, if you weren't so whiny you might get answers.
but i imagine you building has to great a hp or its checked as a "hero" on the Misc tab in arsenal 3

[negleglumenglemur]

:(
is not checked as Hero and it have 1500 of hp, so thats not the problem

[negleglumenglemur]

well after searching alot in Memgraft, i found a tab that says: Status Bar, so i changed the values to like the commandcenter have, and it fixed my problem

----------------------
I have another question:

i cant get the rally point of my building to work, is there a way to fix this?

[negleglumenglemur]

i can't get the rally point of my building to work, is there a way to fix this?

[negleglumenglemur]

plz help me!!!

[StealthyDeath]

If you add the rally point button to a building that didn't have one, it doesn't work. I'm not completely sure if is a hardcoded, but I have yet to find a solution to fixing it.

[DragonPaladin]

Um...describ your point a little more.

[negleglumenglemur]

thnx stealthydeath :)
