Builders Not Allowed to Have Inventory?

[Jupiterstorm]

Hello,

I have made a construction unit and given it a 2 slot inventory, but it's inventory does not appear in game and it cannot pick up items. Are builders not allowed to have inventories?

Are you basing the inventory ability off of one you such as Unit Backpack (<race>)?

If so, the ability will need to be researched before you can use it, or you can simply set the map up so it already has it researched when the game starts.

The race is "other" and doesn't appear to have any research requirements. Other units have inventories based off the same ability, but they don't need research to use it.

Post a map and I will see what I can do.

Here it is. The unit in question is called |cffdaa520Mini Bot|r

If you want to make one ingame order the hero to move the room on the right and use his ability on the large control panel there. It will train one of the Micro Bots.

Yes it was as I said. On the unit you want the ability you have to research the upgrade.

Also, on the unit, towards the bottom, add 'Backpack (human)' to upgrades used. 'Unit Inventory (human)' shouldn't work without it.

To research the upgrade, go to 'Scenario -> Upgrade Properties' check the box that says use custom upgrades; and scroll down in Human to find backpack (human). Set it to researched and the ability works fine.

Or just copy the hero inventory ability and set its slots to 2 and use that.
