Burrow Glitch?

[ImmortalMatt]

I'm using the snow scorpion unit in my map but I changed its color to 75/75/75 and made it a little bigger and changed its life. When it burrows it shrinks down, gets more life (default life) and changes back to the original color. When I unburrow it, it has the same stats as I want but the color is off. Is there any way to change this? I couldn't find out where to change the burrowed form.

You have to edit the burrowd unit. (there are 2 units, 1 thats not burrowd, and 1 thats not. if u burrow it goes to the burrowd unit)

Wow...never knew that...good info mate!

 

[ImmortalMatt]

Couldn't Find it

I'll look again but I can't find the burrowed unit.

 

[Taerar]

Like mase said there's 2 units, think of it as a demon hunter's metamorphosis. The unit casts the spell and changes into another unit. That's all burrow/submerge are... The units is most likely under the "Special" classification..

 

[mase]

its on the same page the triggering unit is (snow scorpion) but under the "Special Units" list... Its called "Snow Scorpion (Burrowed)"

 

[ImmortalMatt]

There is no unit

There is no form of the barbed aracnid in the object editor. I can't find it under neutral hostile units or speciel.

 

[mase]

Did u add the burrow ability to the scopiion?

 

[ImmortalMatt]

Yes

Yes, I used the Barbed Arachnid that has the burrow ability.

 

[mase]

Ya there is a burrowd type of Barbed Arachnid u newb. Its called "Burrowed Barbed Arachnid"

IceCrown Glacier

Just IceCrown I think. Not sure.

 

[mase]

Ya you have to edit both the Barbed Arachnid and the burrowd Barbed Arachnid

 

[ImmortalMatt]

I did

The 2 barbed arachnids are 2 different units, BNet removed the burrow ability in 1 of the latest versions cause it got annoying in melee (I think?).

 

[mase]

Im going to edit for u, just copy and paste the unit (i will attached it) ignore the burrowed one, this unit worx just fine (its under Object editor > Neutral Hostile > Barbed Scorpion (oh and btw there is a Burrowed Barbed Scorpion, its under Neutral Passive in the object editor)

Harder solution, Have the ability a moderation of metamorphisis, Give it a mod of "hide" and remove the metamorphisis's movement.. and change the meta's model into scorpion.. That should make it burrow, be able to attack, or stop attacking.. On another note, you could give it perm invis, from wolfs.. and use the hide command to prevent it from attacking and disturbing the invis.. or all together take away its attack.. It works just as well as burrow.. If you need help its easily done and im willing to help you, just private message me :shades:

 

[mase]

Sry im real tired my fault. But still editing the unit is easier then giving it random shit.

 

[WastedSavior]

i spent a few hours trying to edit a burrow for a hero.. and all that ever happened is it gained the life of the burrowed unit.. even if the burrowed unit was the same.. And its not random if you edit icons, and names.. It makes for good gameplay.. "an attackable or disable attack burrow" over a "burrow and regen 10 health per a second"

I took out the burrow

Even if I can get it to work, which I think you guys did, my triggers don't work with it. The burrowed unit is a different unit compared to the un-burrowed, so my triggers will mess up. Also if its controlled by the computer, which it is, it goes crazy and repeatedly burrows and won't attack anything.
