Ability Command - Build (help)

[MissKerrigan]

Good evening all,

Is it possible to give the command center a 'build ability' with range?

scv's, probes and drones must go their location to build something
What I'm trying to do is creating a menu in the command center with the towers (command cards)
Then place them just like it's done in 'red alert' or 'dune 2000'

I tried to duplicate the raven 'build auto-turret' but this seems not to work

1. can't find the range anywhere
2. can't even find out how to remove the 'throw' animation of the auto-turret
3. don't know which kind of ability is used to create this build-in-range command

Can somebody help me?

You can use a standard Build type ability (same as the SCV Build ability) and set the Stats: Range property to say 500 so it can build anywhere on the map.

Are you looking at copying the "build in command card then place on map" aspect like in Red Alert? If so, you could look at using charges where building the building requires a charge and you use another ability to create the charge.
