protoss building like terran

Okay, so basicly im trying to make protoss buildings build like terran buildings for my mod because i have 2 terran races.

I understand that this will be done with iscript, datedit, and Firegraft.

I am told that i need to
-take out all the "warp-ins" for the iscript, and add an almost built
-change construction to terran in datedit
-add repair and terran build commands for probe in FG
-change to create building terran for the button

ive tried all this and it doesnt work.

>My first problem is it doesnt finish warping, and then afew seconds later it crashes. This is an iscript problem, i no longer have a warp in section so how can it warp in?
>Then when i change the create building terran for the building the probe doesnt move to crate the building, it just sits there. I understand that this is something to do with probes warping in vs building.


Ive also been told that afew mods have protoss building like terran, but i can not find them, so if anyof you know a current mod please link it so i can see what they did.


You can look at my testmod for this here:
Test Mod

If you can help me figure this out, or just change the file up above to work then i can give you minerals (when i get them), GRPs, or what ever you want for helping me out.


I know ive made this a topic on Maplantis and i probably wont get anymore feedback on sen, but i really need to figure this out before i can do anything more on my mod.

Thanks alot.

OMG SEN = FAILURE!

Okay, i figured it out myself, i did all the crap and then took away build 2 and 3 from probe and 1 and 4 from scv and now it builds ownagly. Now the problem is that terran cant build.

....and yes the:
current unit is.....
scv
or
probe

didnt work.

aka idmontie

Do that for Builds 1,2,3 and 4. The SCV's buildings should use the Build Terran command.

I tried it and it works fine for me.

i actually made samething before what u want when i made my mod
but that was been long time so i dont remember exactly to all steps but i can tell you that could make allmost like u want
and i would find my memory to that steps which i used to...

here is an estimate of how to make like that
first all all u should make construction graphics of toss's builing GRP or use other graphics

edit Script of toss's building Animation to showed construction graphics

make ur probe's button set to same SCV's buttons this mean is same button settings to build and actions

and in Dat files, you should change construction in Sprite properties to Terran Construction for toss's buings

I'd like say some complex problem what conditions of Protoss's buildings to repaired and continue build

first , if u like to probe has cancle constructioning and countinue build again

then that target building's race must be Terran
Also if like to repair target building too
currently, only Terran race able to those Actions

but u can make without change race to terran but u couldnt do those actions in other races

then u should edit iScript of Toss's building Animation to showed construction graphics

for example here is nexus

edit just build script of Nexus like this
set "IsWorking" of header from [NONE] to nexus_build
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
headers :
IsWorking nexus_build
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
and add that header name into main script lines

nexus_build:
playfram 1
goto NexusUnknown19

as u see the go to order that go to here

NexusUnknown19:
wait 125
goto NexusUnknown19

so then that frame always showed until construct is complete


and Basicly edit command buttons of probe to like SCV
