World Editor Question

[SebaTheLord]

Is their a Feature in the World editor where i can Load Custom units to my map from a Other map that would be Proven Usefull

 

[Cheshire]

if you mean from the object editor -

you can copy and paste them individually,

you can also copy all the map data from the object editor and import it into another map. be warned that this method will delete all the existing object data in the map you are copying to.

so i copied an custom unit from my fel horde race i am working on and i copy this into my new place doesent work

what doesn't work? if you copied the object data you will now be able to place that unit. But only the object editor data has been copied. imported models - will still need to be re-imported. and if you have any triggers or code that is part of the abilities - you will need to copy that over separately too. Then, you need to "reconnect" all the different parts to each other. like make sure the units have the right model selected, and that the variables in the spells are connected to the right abilities and stuff.

Okay, you need to explain yourself better. Saying "it doesn't work" tells us absolutely nothing. There's a massive difference between "It worked, but it's too slow to do 1 at a time, isn't there a faster way?" and "It doesn't work".

Anyway, Cheshire said:

So you should look for something that lets you export ALL of the map data.

I realize this may be difficult to find since there's a lot of options in the editor so here's a picture:

But be careful, it will delete all of your existing Object Editor data. The Trigger Editor has the same exact feature under the File menu.

Please start using better titles for your topics.
Also I saw that you were trying to make some "campaign" but you made each map individually, thus you need to basically copy paste the object data from map 1 to every single other map, which is something that you obviously would like not to do.
I suggest using a campaign file to connect all the maps, then you will only need to create the custom units once and you can still change their data on each map individually from the object editor if needed.

Okay i get it But what if Custom models where in my object data

custom models are not saved in the object data. the object data is the stuff that you set in the object editor.

stuff like models and icons are dealt with in the asset manager. In order to move those from map to map in bulk - if you save both maps as folders, you can just manually move/copy all of the files together, just like copying any other files on the computer.

Once you have dealt with all the object data, and all the imported files -> you still need to make sure the object data is still pointing to the right files. In order to make this go smoother, it's better to first move over the imports, and only then the object data - and if all the files still have the same location and name, things are less likely to need to be reattached manually.
