Go to Object Editor
Then go to Abilities
Then Push Ctrl F
Type in Build

And you have the ability of Build selected. Now you can go to button position and set it where you want.

Its as easy as pie!

- Glad to help

 

[Yan]

thx, for your answer but is it work for the build command button too?

 

[ShadowFlare]

Yes I believe so

 

[Section]

But remember that there are Five build abilities that owned by every race.

 

[Yan]

I don't find them. I just find build abilities for items (build a farm, build a Town hall, Build an Ivory Tower...)

In Game Interface, you have:
Icon - Command - Basic Structure
Icon - Command - Basic Structure (Human)
Icon - Command - Basic Structure (Night Elf)
Icon - Command - Basic Structure (Orc)
Icon - Command - Basic Structure (Undead)

Changing those values will make icons of ,,Build" ability changed to that value.

 

[Yan]

I want to move the build abilities in an other place, your answer is for change the icon of the abilities

Mm... First, you must find the rawcode of "build", then write your desired button position "x,y" in "CustomKeys..." (ah I'm forget the name) or Warcraft scripts and SLKs... (like DotA).

I hate if I forget something needed.

I tried with SLKs but it doesn't works

• I extract "Unit\AbilityData.slk" from War3.mpq
• I change the "UseinEditor" column in Excel for the builds abilities
• I remove the old one and replace it by the lastest one

I use WinMPQ

The files you need to replace Via import are these two

units\CommandStrings.txt
units\CommandFunc.txt

Are there tutorials to change the build button position ?
I don't know what i do wrong but it doesn't works for build abilities

 

[masterofra]

Extract the file "units\CommandFunc.txt" from the MPQ. Then open it with a text editer. Scroll down until you find the innate button you want to change the location of. Say you want to change the location of the human build button. Change these three lines from this, causes it to be located at the left hand side (0), at the bottom (2)

[CmdBuildHuman]
Art=CommandBasicStructHuman
Buttonpos=0,2

to this

[CmdBuildHuman]
Art=CommandBasicStructHuman
Buttonpos=3,2

Which will cause it to be at the right side, at the bottom.
Then import the file into your map with the import editer, and set the path to
"units\CommandFunc.txt" so as to replace the original file.
units\CommandStrings.txt contains the tooltips for the innate abilities. And i dont know what the Art line does, Thought I can guess.

it's weird I tried with attack command button, move command button and attack ground command button it works but when i tried the human build button the button doesn't move

 

[masterofra]

Yea, I just tried that, and it didn't work. I don't know why. It may be hard coded.

hm... take a look of WEU... I remember that it can modify Build, Attack, Stop, Hold Position and all basic abilities as Object Editor.

 

[Yan]

I use WEU and i can change build buttons locations. After a test it works
Thx for your help

 

[supertoinkz]

Don't ever use WEU, it is effing out dated. Please use JNGP instead.

Thank you.

 

[Yan]

I won't use WEU again except if i have no choice

You can't host World Editor Unlimited's maps without the Unlimited WC3 patch >.<

I only change build buttons position with it. It's not like if i use something which exist only in the World Editor Unlimited so the map should still compatible with World editor and should be hosted too.
