how can i override the unit requirements

[andreasaspenberg]

i mean on the larva`s ability to transform into units.

 

[Rispetto]

Simply remove the ability from the hive's ability command card (not the larva's).

By modifying the requirement data that is linked by the Larva Morph Ability's field "Ability - Info - Button - Requirements" field for the various morphs defined by the ability.

Basically the morph ability (in the Abilities catalog) defines the requirements for the various morphs. The logic of these requirements is defined in a separate catalog called Requirements.

i duplicated the ability. i tried to check requirements(i wasnt aware of it before however.) but that wasnt very helpful.

 

[Dr Super Good]

What is your problem then?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i cant figure out how to remove the requirements for the units in the ability. even if i remove those units from the ability the requirements remain.

I will tell you the solution again...
Remove the requirements from the "Ability - Info - Button - Requirements" field for the appropiate morph in the morph ability.

If this does not work, you eithor did not do it (the requirement is still in the list in that field) or you have done it to the wrong ability (your unit's morph ability is different from the one you are editing).

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the requirement field cant be changed in that area. that is the problem.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Yes it can. If for some reason your editor is not allowing you to do it with a GUI (as mine does), you can always resort to raw data view and manually remove an entry from the list in the field. Come patch 1.4 you can even edit the raw XML entry for the data object.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the requirements field is uneditable. i have the latest client version. if you can give me a working solution i am open to hear it but otherwise please leave me alone.

Ok what you want to do is this.

Go into the data editor, search "Larva - Morph Unit", under the ability filter

Select ability command you want, and double click to edit it

Under all the different requirement selections, to the bottom right is a red X

Click that to remove the requirement.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

thank you. you helped me where dr super good failed.

 

[Dr Super Good]

I can not help it if you were rejecting the fact that the field is editable (nowhere did you mention you could not find how to edit it). I assume you did not even bother the raw data way which allows all fields to be edited.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

it cant be edited so far but the requirement can be removed through a button. either way this topic is solved so please lock it.

 

[Crewman87]

The requirements are editable, thru clicking the buttons below the requirement field. (edit) you can select premade ones used in starcraft, as for creation of a custom one is beyond me for now.
