Mutiple questions

[black.sheep]

Okay so I've got the editor, and a couple things have been bothering me.

1. How do you create globals in GUI? I can seem only to create locals
2. How do you attach actors to units?
3. Is it possible to change a players name?
4. How do you create pathing blockers?
5. Is it possible to change a units attributes - Eg light, biological, etc with triggers?
6. Is it possible to change/add attributes?
7. Is it possible to change a unit weapon with triggers?
8. Is it possible to change a units model with triggers?
9. How do you crate player varibles? I can only create player groups

Thanks

1) You add global variables the same way you add triggers. Click on something in the trigger list to give that focus, then click on the New Variable button in the toolbar. It will now add a global variable to the trigger list.

3) You can change a player's name under Map > Player Properties...

4) Pathing is done a little differently compared to WC3. You will need to switch to the pathing layer (Layer > Pathing), then just paint the areas you want with the type of pathing you want.

7) Yes, Add Weapon to Unit and Remove Weapon From Unit

8) You can just create an ability that does that and then trigger the ability to run

9) Player is no longer a data type. Players are now integers

2) You can only have 1 Actor for each unit, and only certain Actor types can be assigned to units. You'll find the area to assign the Actor to a unit by clicking on a proper Actor, and on the right, above the normal "Field" pane you will see a "Token" pane. That's where you can assign a unit for that actor.
