[Data Editor] How to make a marine build structures

[worldofDeath]

So I keep adding the build behavoir, and the two building ability in the command. But when i go to play the game neither shows at all. The only thing that shows is Spells

Did you add them to the command card?

Alright I'm not sure what all you have down so far so I'm just going to start from the top.

Create Ability of build.
Give build ability to unit
go to ability and add in the building icon and scroll down to the bottom to add in the actual building.
go to the command card
add building button in command card 2,3,4(doesn't matter, but I don't think you want 1)
link button to build ability, build object
now go to command card 1 and add the build button
link this button to command card # of where you put building button
go the that command card
add a cancel button
link that button to cancel subgroup(this exits back out to basic commands)

On that point, anyone know how to make the marine (or any other unit) have that little popup icon that tells where he is (when it's not doing anything)

Supposedly, you need to change the actors around. Copy the marine actor to the SCV actor, and do it from there. And I guess the SCV little pop-up icon is more likely to be built into the game, unless you can edit the texture file for it in the MPQ file.
