Strange and anoying

[sATARa]

I wanted to make a unit in my map, that would be used as a safe for keeping items.
Anyway I made a unit n gave it the night elf inventory ability... I tought this would do the trick (unfortunately it didnt)
Since I was in no mood to experiment, I opened one of the maps where I saw a similar unit, n copyed it to my map`s object editor.
But the same thing happened... the unit had no inventory, n I couldnt put any items in it (it worked just fine in the map I took it from BTW).
When I add a item to it in the editor, it ends up on the floor near the unit in-game.

Very very strange.... and even more anoying



Any ideas

Why don't simply give the unit the Unit Inventory ability? Nothing is more simple. Even I could do that before I even made my first map, which was never released…

Yea you can just give it the ability but you can also make it a hero (just pick anyone) then change the Art-Model File to whatever you wanted. This will give it a inventory and hero abilities if thats what you wanted.

P.S Change the Sound-Unit Sound Set and The Art-Icon-Game Interface to what you want too.

I'd rather make a custom ability based on Unit inventory, and change the "stats - inventory slots" to 4, or maybe six. A "car" can carry a lot of items.

I fixed it. It works fine now.
For some strange reason it wouldnt work with the basic unit inventory ability, so I used the hero inventory one...

Anyway it works now... so thx for the tips.

isn't there a stash used in the orc campaigns? you could open those maps and see how blizz does it.
