okay first is the icon. whenever i chose an icon for my mod. Firegraft disregard it and the default icon is placed.

i want to make the terran command center to train drones and probes(also the heros like Hyperion) but SC crash when im doing that.

1. dunno what u did wrong... more info plz....

go to infested command center's button set, then click on the drone, then go to action requirement, this brings u to the dat requirement part, here u see this...
Current unit is...
Larva
==End of List==

Now click on larva and press Ctrl+Ins 3 times, 3 nones should pop out and now it looks like this...
Current unit is...
Larva
None
None
None
==End of List==

go to the third none, then choose parameter instead of opcode, then scroll down to infested command center..(Might take a while to find)..
for the first none, choose Or, for the second none choose Current unit is, now the whole statement looks like this...

Current unit is...
Larva
Or
Current Unit is
Infested Command Center
==End of List==

One more thing I think u did wrong is u directly copied the drone button from larva to infested cc, if that is the case, go back to button set, go to infested cc, click on drone's button, see if the action function says Unit morph, if it's the case, change it to Create Unit..

Hope that helps, if it doesn't......

wait u said terran command center... sorry, I thought u said infested command center the whole time..

Problem1: You mean the mod.exe icon? be more specific!

problem2: When you mouseover?, when you clicked the icon? or when the construction/warp/unitmorph is done?
@anglelock... thats not true... if you forgot the dat-requirements the Icon will be there, but there will be no mouse over, and you can't build it.... so your answer is wrong....

Awww look! Devourer is working hard for his kudos

@XenoBlight, you have given the buttons text strings right? It they have no strings, your game will crash. Also, try to be more specific, not only on this help topic but in others you may open in the future, that way we can provide better assistance.

oh sorry for broad questions please ignore the former questions and proceed on my specified problems:

about the icon. yes my mod icon. ive used the icon of starcaft but when i look on my mod icon, its one of the generic icon of windows(the ms-dos.exes icon).

next is training probe on command centers. i want to build probe in both races(terran,protoss) is it possible?
In the Dat. Req. of Firegraft you can manipulate the req of a unit but how if you want train one unit in both races?
(umm ive realized that probes cant be clicked if you just focus on Button Sets and you must also consider about Dat Req and i found out that heroes can be trained on building with ease)

lul??? so also not the originally FG Icon [generated form Firegfraft]??
that is wierd....

there normally should be no problem to allow 2 races to build probes... you may try so that ONLY terran can train a probe... if it still doesn't work then.... I would have no more idea then...
hint: you also should make cost probes 1 supply for terran^^ [@datedit]

maybe the icon that ive used has errors(its an old icon of starcraft the gray wraith)

so its possible then. then how can i do that?

I did not understand the second part of your post, but make a screen of the icon or, even better, attach it...
so we can test if it works for us... if it works; your pc sucks
no, sry, but it'll help if we know how the icon's format is and so on....

the second part is on how can i make probes be trainable on command center

ehh!! I think I finally know why it crashes....
make Train Unit and not Morph Unit (or warp unit? dont think that this exist)
use the same requirements like the SCV and just swap "scv" to "probe"

Can create building/unit
Probe
Train unit
Probe

try this...

okay ive tried the button sets that youve recommended but the problem is i cant click the probe(and its in unresearched)
i think Dat. Req would finish this but the problem what set of Parameters and Opcode should i use? the default Dat. Req of probe is

Current unit is...
Nexus
Is not contructing add-on

finally attach the mod... so I can give you some 100% true answers^^

okay this is the mod that ive made and the icon that i used

Attachments:

can't help you.... sorry
how I told... use firegraft.... Then I'll help you
there is also a Windows Icon at me.... so it's not your PC fault....

Okay, first of all I am unsure of why your icon isn't working. I could be a file error or corruption or a firegraft bug.


As to the probe thing. Just select the probe in Dat requirements and change it to this.

Current unit is
Nexus
Is not contructing add on
Or
Current unit is
Command Center
Is not constructing add on
Is not lifted off

This tells starcraft's memory that you can build a probe from a nexus (if it isn't building an add on) OR from a command center (if also isn't building an add on or in lift off)

Usually when a button is grayed out it's because the tech requirements for the unit creating (or i.e. spell casting) haven't been met. It means that you usually haven't edited out the dat requirements or have done something wrong in it.

If it has a grayed out button and it crashes it is usually (and almost always) because the button doesn't have an string added in the unit button set. Simply fix it by assigning a string to the button.

hmm iv'e tried your advice but still it doesn't work. The icon of probe is stull uncklickable

umm just wonderting could it be possible to limit a certain unit be trained once?(just like tanya,boris,YuriP in Yuris Rev.)

Really? It should work perfectly fine.

You could either use triggers to prevent the players from getting 2 of those units.
Or you could have supply restrictions. As in, your command center provides 1 supply for protoss and make that unit cost 1 protoss supply. Then if you wanted to create another of those units it won't let you cause you'll be over the supply limit.


EDIT: Try reading this document.
It's an unfinished tutorial I am making. Contains some of your questions. If you still don't get it right after following the tutorial I guess I'll take a look at your mod and what's so wrong about it. Make sure you upload the version in which you tried my last advice, though.

i heard from somewhere that certain heros shouldnt or cant be messed with.

okay here it is
