"Attaching" Hangar Ability

[gT.ReD]

Hello Everyone,

I am having trouble wrapping my head around this one.

I wish to attach the Broodlord - Broodling Hangar to a Zergling. I've got the ability and weapon working just fine, but it will cancel out the Zergling's - Claw Attack.

I've got some experience attaching structures, but I'm ot too sure how I would do this to show all Broodlings where I want them. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

It's normal. If you want him to attack using claws, it would stop using the other attack. It's a theory at least.

ya I was afraid that was the deal, I played with multiple weps on a single unit before (turret on siege tank) over a month ago, so I knew there was that limitation. Was hoping there was some way to get around it with an attachment.

Thanks for the response

Did you mean Broodling Strike?

 

[gT.ReD]

Yes, sorry! I thought it was a whole package kind of deal.

I'm still stuck in the same boat, arent I? The Broodling Strike has no Model actor for it, so creating a Model Addition actor (I'm assuming) won't work? Do I need to choose the Invisible model maybe?

WAIT. Just tell me what you wanna do. I'll help. Are you trying to make the Zergling spawn Broodlings?

 

[gT.ReD]

I've got the Zergling spawning broodlings just fine with 4 escorts . The problem is, I'm trying to have the broodlings Launch while allowing the Zergling to use his melee attack. Currently he will stop at the Launch Range; and even if I move him next to the target, he will still only launch Broodlings.

What I'm hoping to accomplish is attaching the Broodling Weapon without losing the animation or escorts. This way the Zergling will use his melee attack.

*cough*, remove the Brood Lord attack from the Zergling. It's there only to show that the unit produces Broodlings.

well, I'll be damned. Thanks a lot

worked perfectly. this is why i like asking other people for input, my brain was fried haha

 

[Statharas]

Just for you to know, that attack is only used to play the animation of the attack.

thanks a lot. its perfect without the launch animation since i want them launched from melee range anyways , you cant even tell hehe
