Can someone tell me how to edit unit build time? I know this is probably somewhere really obvious, but as far as i can tell I've checked just about everywhere in the data editor, and i can't find it in the tutorials.... And It's buggin the crap out of me O.O

Its part of the build ability attached to the builder. Basically go to ability data. Then find the build ability your unit uses. Then edit any of the build choice field (will bring up a window). Select your unit from the list. Then edit the parameters for the unit (cost, time, type.

Advantages of SC2...
Multiple units can build same unit with different settings.
Disadvantages...
More difficult to change.

You could have 2 builders for example. One which builds the exact same building fast but at more cost and one which builds the building cheaply but very slowly. This was impossible in WC3 without buggy and complex jass code.

Anyway, check abilities.

I tried what you said, and i still couldn't find the time slot. i found out how to edit resource cost, death time, repair time and a bunch of other stuff, but there wasn't a build time =P.
