Hello. I have one question. How i can choose custom mark for each unit on minimap? For example. I create a unit. Normally have unit a collor dot on minimap, but i want put a mark of shop or mine on unit. How i can do this?

Sorry for my English. I am just a English student. :thup:

Give it the goldmine ability so the game registers it as a golden dot on the minimap. Units can mine from this unit now, though.

No, don't do that. Just edit it in the game interface. Open your map and go to Advanced/Gameplay Interface. I think the icon you are looking for is "Icon Minimap (Hero/Neutral/Etc). You can change what is displayed to whatever blp file you want without changing any actual gameplay issue.

There's an actual one for the normal unit dots? All I see here that effect the mini-map itself (with UMSWE) is Hero, Neutral, Resource, Resource Entangled, Resource Haunted.
If he's looking for heroes and such that works fine, or if I'm missing one.

Hmm, I know there is still a way to edit that, but I cant remember off the top of my head. Maybe 'Model-Minimap Indicator' or something like that?

No, that is in the Gameplay Interface too.

But I think you need to explain more what this specific unit is that you want to change. There are ways to change certain things with abilities or triggers, but without knowing exactly what you are trying to do, its hard to come up with the best solution...

lol... so a wandering gold mine. I guess the original response would work then, but I think it would have some strange side effects.

The only other solution I could think of would be to base your unit off Tree of Ages, so it is a walking building, and then you could create a trigger that does:

Events - Tree of Ages begins an Ability
Conditions - Ability equal to Wander
Actions - Neutral Building - Change the special minimap icon to ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNGoldMine.blp

    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
