2 questions about broodlords

[MissKerrigan]

Hello I got 2 questions about broodlords:

1. I want to make an upgrade in the spire that cost 50-50 and makes the broodlings survive for 5 'game seconds' longer, how am I able to make this?

2. How can I let the broodlords shoot green-acid-balls instead of the broodling strike?

Taken a break from the SC2 Editor? It has been a while since I have seen you around.

1) Go to the upgrade Data Type and create a new upgrade. Edit the Upgrade: Effects + property and right-click in the top table and go Add Effect. Set the Type value to Behaviour, Object to Brood Lord - Spawn Fate, Field to Duration, Operation to Add, and Value to 5

Now you just need to add your upgrade to the Spire research ability. Go to the Ability data type and find the object Spire and Greater Spire - Research (Spire & GreaterSpire). Open up the Ability: Info + property and double click on and empty slot (a line where the Button and Upgrade values are (None)). Set the Info - Button - Default Button property to your button (I've assumed you have already created one). Set the Info - Technology Resource Cost property to your cost, Info - Time to how long you want it to take to research the upgrade, and Info - Upgrade to your upgrade.

Now you just need to add your upgrade button to the Spire's command card which I assume you remember how to do.

2) You would need to create a new weapon and then give the broodlords this weapon instead of the Broodling Strike ability using the Combat: Weapons + property on the unit.

Thanks Dave! but value must not to 5, because I want 5 additional seconds

I created a weapon for the broodlord but I got the next 2 problems:

1. the broodlord still had the broodling escort arround him
2. the broodlord is not facing the enemy when attacking (looking to the left while fire to the right)

Yes I said in same other post that I had a vacation in California to visite my family but unfortunetaly I'm back in The Netherlands now it was SO FUN there I already mis my family now

Sounds like you had a good holiday then

Thanks Dave! but value must not to 5, because I want 5 additional seconds

The Operation property determines how the upgrade is modified. If you set it to Add, then it will give you an additional 5 seconds. If it was set to Set To, then the duration would be set to 5 seconds.

1) Go to your Brood Lord unit and remove the Brood Lord - Brood Lord Hangar and Brood Lord - Brood Lord Queue2 values from the Abilities: Abilities + property.

2) I think that is an issue with your new weapon. What happens if you give your Brood Lord the weapon Marine - C-14 Gauss Rifle? Does it still fire to the right?

I just want the broodlord shoot like 'guardians' in starcraft 1, they also turn towards their target, I checked the weapon arc is 360 hmm still something wrong?

 

[Dave312]

The weapon arc should be 0 so that they do face their target. Having it at 360 means they don't have to face their target.
