Is there a tool or can be created that..

Edits your object data file .w3o and in which you can fast paste strings and numbers and mostly if you can paste values for all units.

Example: I wanted to make 300 units with 0.00 all stats and no names, no icons - dummy. And instead of having to do it unit by unit, a program that can edit and paste the same value (e.g u select 0 mana and it pastes '0' to the mana of all units, you select 'none.mdl' model and it pastes the none.mdl value to the models of all the units in the w3o). If someone can create it will be way useful, i need it too.

Why not just make one unit and copy it 300 times then ?

He wants to do it QUICKLY, copying manualy would take 1-2 hours of constant work. This is due to some stupid bug with WE that makes editing units ultra demanding and thus slow.

But why is actually so slow especially in object editor?

Hitting ctrl+v 300 times shouldn't take any longer than 5 minutes if you deactivate the tree brush view thing.

Because there'se so much graphix inside the objet object editor, along with massive amounts of data

Why would you need 300 units? Are you sure they're all needed? The first thing you have to think about is asking yourself if all the units are needed. And I don't think there's any such tool.

Hint which makes it faster to edit units:
Open WE go to the menu "Window" untick "Brush list"
Doing this will make it much faster to edit names icons
and copying units in the object editor.

then it wont take much time to copy paste alot units..
It takes near to no time on my computer after i did that

I meant, I DONT need 830 units and i wanted them to be all stats to 0 as i dont want to see them and since the default cant be deleted a prog would make it useful to somehow reset all values to 0. Now I decided to reset only 4 values like the icon, the model, the projectile missile, the name and the race. In this way the units I use will be in the Human Melee; Buildings; Heroes, Folder all others including orcs, uds, elves, campaign and not cpg, creeps will be moved in one folder and won't be touched and used since i dont need them for a futuristic map. And by my calucaltions since resetting 856 all stats to 0 will take 12 days and i have to make at least 7 hours a day resetting units, that will make me crazy, i decided to use only none to model, icon, race, abilities upgrades, which will take a total of 17 hours not 85 as with zero-ing all Abilities, Units, Doodads etc etc that won't be used. Im going to copy the custom untis data in that of the Melee default, in this way will save space with units as custom units take space in the size of the file but i prolly wont replace abilities since i have like 20 abilities based on one default ability and there arent like 20 blizzards in the default data, etc to paste the stats of a custom ability in the stats of default and not to have custom abilities- it cannot be done since i have many based on one ability. Im just regrouping the things I will use and those I wont. And dummy-ing those that I wont (exceptions are abilities and buffs where i need to see how much dmg something takes so they wont be reset).
