[General] How Do I Add units to buildings?

[knight85]

title says it all

i finally figured out today how to alter a maps terrain using world editor to be able to play a map i downloaded on my own and decieed to have some fun by adding merc buildings, 2 taverns and some dragon roosts.

but then before i went out today i had an idea about adding some units into the build lists of the different races of the map.

i thought i had a general idea of how to REPLACE units in a building, but it turns out i dont. so i need to know how to ADD mercenary units to a building (like golems for humans or dragons for orcs or frost revenants for the undead) or possibly create custom units based on mercenaries that i can add

so the question becomes. is it even possible?

• Neutral Building - Add Footman to (Triggering unit) with 0 in stock and a max stock of 1

?

no it's more like i want to put merc units or possibly custom units based on merc units/heroes into the melee races

In the object editor?

Barracks -- Techtree - Units Trained - Footman, Rifleman, Knight, "Golem"

thanks.

now for my other issue. how do i create custom heroes? i know about the create custom unit thing but i'm not sure how to go from that to a hero unit

how do i create custom heroes?

Just select any hero in the Object Editor, right click it, select 'Copy Unit'. Then select 'Paste Unit' and edit it after that. It seems like you're really new to the World Editor. General Mapping Tutorials should help you start.

much thanks. i was just using the custom unit creator directly thanks

and yeah i am seriously new. i only just figured out how to alter the terrain on a map i found to allow for so lo play (there was a big mass of water dividing the 2 halves of the map and the ai enemies werent programmed to buy boats to get across to me)
