unit/building question

[The Twin Tailed Comet]

i just download a ... space ship model and i wanna use it on tree of life
as a mobile flying ... "fortress"
but when i test it, its not flying.. =\
i did however realized that when i presss uproot button, the ... fortress flys
=(
but when i uproot the fortress, it can't construct anything (that is, train unit)
can some1 tell me how 2 make it fly without uproot button??????!!!???

you can make your fortess a unit instead of a building, but if you dont know what am talking about you should play around with unit editor first.

i kno wat ur talking about, but if i make the fortress a unit, it can no longer train units (although i am aware of the "unit Sold" ... option, i want it 2 train unit, not sell) XD
oh and i try mess around with other builds 2
i made a farm with its height ... 200 and it looks fine in the editor, but when i play the game 2 test it, it just stay on the ground =-/

also
i made it tree of life so when u start a map, u'll have a fortress
if i made it a unit then i need 2 go and change the winning option in the trigger section which i don't really wanna go into XD

You CAN have units train units actually. Just go to "Units trained" and put units in their. It works normally.

Base it off of a flying unit, change its sound set, and if you want make it "Targetted as a Structure" but make sure to keep its classification under unit. Slow down the speed, give it fortified armor.

Since it is targetted as a structure it is repairable, but its still a unit, that can train units. Your done.

uhm.. i got a question
if i make it as a unit,
then when i start a map i got no building (lol?)
wouldn't i lose the game instantly?

Only if standard game victory conditions are set (its all in the melee initialization trigger).

Try flying height, and minimum height.And delete mele trigers

 

[The Twin Tailed Comet]

i did, i set the height 2 300 and minimum heihgt 2 299 (yes, i kno, werid)

XD
but doesn't work (... son of a ...)

Try it boy...

Set the options like I did:


Is a Building = False
Movement Type = None
Movement Height = Whatever u want

It became a unit.

Now to make the unit sells something, go to "Abilities - Normal", Add the "Select Hero" ability and finally Add the itens u wanna sell on "Techtree - Items Sold".

Remembering: Delete the Melee triggers, or when the game starts u'll instantly win the game.

Well, I think it'll work :]

You have to set the movement type to = Fly
