Editing Locust?

Well yesterday I ran into a problem when i was making a spell that create a bunch of murlocs that attacks the target enemy. I made them Locust because i didn't wan't them to be controlled by the player neither to see their HP bars. But now they run in lumps and that look extremely ugly. It seems like they have no pathing, but they should have? Can some one help me to fix this? Is there anyway to edit the Locust abillity or a way to make them run like a troop more than a lump.

I don't believe so.
You could just make a trigger like (rough):
Code:
Event
    selects a unit
Conditions
    selected unit = murloc
Actions
    deselect unit
It won't be as pretty, but basically works.

I don't believe there's anyway to edit Locust.
It's not in the Object Editor anywhere that I can see.

try setting their movement type to fly. flying units and ground units behave differently when moving. you'll notice that flying units travel in circles while ground units cluster together.

i believe there is a way to make units uncontrollable by adding a ward classification or something

you should ask for how to make units uncontrollable, rather then how to fix the problems with locust

you can use a different model for your locust ability, but it's under unit editor, cause the locust ability only sets your locusts dmg and such, i've done that by myself

Here's an idea for the spells, if it wasn't was you were searching for, tell me mroe specific View attachment Murlock King.w3x

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
