Couple Questions

[Ghost765]

How do you change the races name? for example, humans to empire, or undead to chaos etc.

2nd, how do you make it so that a unit uses a certain stand animation (lets say stand 1) and not use the other stand animations? (if this is possible)

EDIT: oh yah, one last thing, how do you give a unit a portrait that it wouldnt normally have?

Race name: You can't change them. They are hardcoded into the game.

Portrait: Modeling, no easy way, sorry.

I have heard of a way of putting a new portrait onto a unit, but you gotta import the portrait file and retype its name into some long script which will replace it with what yourunit originally has. Sorry I dont know more, but look around.

hmmm but i can swear that kofi_banan in his world in conflict map used "aircraft" as a race... and like in Zerg Infestation, the two races are Terran and Zerg.

you can try changing the text fields in game interface but don't know if it works

This works. You can even make them colorful. However, they will change AFTER the map was opened. So it is normal, you play the map and then on all maps you have the races changed. If you play a map without races names' changed they will revert after such a normal map was used.​

hmm yah, i though so... i did change em in the interface, so thats the best i can do for now :-\
can an y1 help me with the stand animations?

I believe that you cannot specify which animation to use except through triggers. And even then, that's only worth doing for cinematics as when you give an order to the unit it will take a random animation. For example, you give the unit 5 walk animations, when it walks it will play those at random. You can't easily control it.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Yea, you do not have much power over animations. Especially if the unit is moving.​

You can delete animations, but you need to export the model, edit it, then import it again. Search for the tutorial on that if you want it.

no not walking, just standing. cause some1 made this chaos unit based off of a satyr, and out of the 2 stand anims, one of them is this victory anim, but i removed the model anyways since it was buggy
