Copying or Transferring Unit Info

[WrathMonkey]

Before I realized I had to make a Tower, then edit the model to what I wanted it to be, for it to be a tower, I had made it a Hero, then edited it into being a tower. Is there any way I can copy all of the information of the Unit, and transfer it, or paste it?

Hm... why not do it the other way around?
Take a Hero, set "stats - is a building" to true, disable movement and set a pathing map and a ground texture.

Other than that, there's only copy&paste... one by one

Wait.. I'm new to the World Editor, so I don't know what they do, but will the Pathing Map and/or Ground Texture make it only buildable as a 2x2 instead of as many as you can in one spot?

I have already set it's building stat to true and disable movement. It's pretty a much a tower, but it's able to be built multpile times in the same small space. I want it to be 2x2 like in all TDs.

Well, "ground texture" is the grass / stone / thingies decoration on the ground under the building.
And the "pathing map" is, sort of, the size... i.e. that square you see when placing the building.

Copy&paste those used on a default tower...

I would except the Heroes don't get the Pathing options Towers do :\

 

[AceHart]

Ah yes... indeed

Though I recall the following from Blizzard's TD:
They put a normal tower, without model, under the Hero tower...

 

[WrathMonkey]

That would be combining two towers, though... how would that happen?

You could try the demo map.
