Creating simple items

[DistantHaze]

Can someone direct me to a good tutorial that details the process of creating passive-use items (such as +50 maximum energy or +25 weapon range)? It seems that most of the sites out there use an outdated version of Galaxy.

People keep referring to "Galaxy" yet there is no such editor. The map editor is called StarCraft II Editor and was only called Galaxy pre beta when in development.

Next to the UI layout, the process of creating such items has been un-altered since the beta. You need to create the appropriate containers, classes and then an item which will add a behaviour that provides the passive boost you want.

Yes, I've created both the item containers and the item inventory; it is the actual item-making that eludes me.

You create an item, give it a class and give it an equip behaviour. The equip behaviour is a buff behaviour that increases some properties of the unit.

It;s also very easy to make all mission items into inventory items. Just add the Item data to them and for effect: all effects done by the ability and the item is useable. Maybe this is for the better as it allows you ro easily use a unit both as an item and as a unit unlike war3 where item is just an item.
