Help with World Editor

[Noobnew]

Hello sorry for my english, I'm new to using a World Editor and I'm having so much fun with it

But I have a question: IS it possible to place a unit on top of a building? I got an idea to increase a size of the Scout Tower and thought I want to place a Glaive thrower on it.

The easiest way is probably to make the glaive a flying unit, set it's height to match the tower and preplace it like that in editor, together with pathing blockers so that it doesnt get off the tower.

AttachObject v2.05

NB: Make sure you download the proper version! v2+ handles special effects attachment. Anything below that is not able to do that. v2.00 and newer versions are not backward compatible with previous versions of AttachObject (they would be called AttachUnit). This is because of some changes to...

Sorry for the late reply

How do I make Ground Units fly? I searched and saw something that I need to the flying trick with the Stormcrow Ability since Ground Units normally cant fly on its own since their height is 0 by default. But I still don't get it. .Not sure if it still works though [General] - How to make unit fly with trigger?

Edit: I figured something out, thanks for the replies!

What I suggested was for preplacing the units while you are in editor so you would just modify the movement type in the object editor.
What exactly are you looking for? To add the glaive to tower with an ability, once the tower is constructed...?

I misunderstood you comment thought the the Glaive Throwers would need to fly ><, so I thought I have to give them an ability to do it like the Storm Crow Form Since I didn'tt know much of World Editor I thought I had to do that. Again, with some tinkering, I eventually figured it out, thanks!

You guys can ignore this thread now
