Is there a possibility to a unit like a Terran Valkyrie build interceptors

OBS: The Terran Valkyrie in question has already a weapon, can it build interceptors with these weapon included?

I really need to know, I've been trying to do it with the Valk, but I'm not getting success, I don't know if it is possible or not.

Doesn't sound possible. I would assume a lot of the mechanics behind the carrier are hard-coded.

hmm... ok, I'll mantain just the Valkyrie (with some changes)

thanks anyway

The Carrier's weapon system is very hard-coded. Non-carrier/reaver units don't even have the variables that store the hanger data as far as I know.

Can i add onto this?
I just want to know, if its so hard coded, then we cant change the limit on the number of max interceptors/scarabs
Or can we?

I am pretty sure you can change the limit of interceptors and scarabs the units can build, I think FireGraft had an option to do such. I'm not entirely sure about this, though.

Through firegraft you can change the initial amount a carrier or reaver can hold but you cannot change the upgrade amount. IE you can make the initial 12 then the upgrade will make it 16, or have the initial 20 then the upgrade will make it 24. The upgrade always gives it 4 more.

Firegraft does allow you to change the scarab capacity upgrade's amount of effect. Just not the carrier's.

You are incorrect.

FireGraft allows the user to change the initial capacity of the Carrier and the capacity of an upgraded/Hero Carrier.

(In the EXE Edits tree: Upgrades -> Capacity -> Carrier Capacity.)

Unless you have some sort of system in place to grant Interceptors or the Interceptors are nigh invulnerable, I do not recommend setting the capacity to anything very high (>20), especially if the build time of the Interceptor is anything more than 5 seconds. It is highly inconvenient, and I say that from experience.

In the exact same tree EXE Edits you can go Upgrades > Capacity > Reaver Capacity and increase the effect of the scarab capacity upgrade from 5 scarabs to any number. The carrier upgrade is hardcoded but the reaver is flexible.

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort

Oh_Man -- definitely EUD
