Hey guys, I recently joined back into the community and decided to learn Galaxy Editor. I was doing one of the tutorials on adding/removing unit abilities and I got stuck because it turns out the editor has changed. There is no longer the red 'x' button that removes an ability. Does anyone know how?



None.

Is there some kind of tutorial or program to add delete abilities and custom abilities?

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Well, the Editor?

Abilities consist out of Ability and an Effect tree which can incorporate behaviors. That system allows you to build quite a lot of abilities. If that is not enough, you can make abilities/effects cause triggers to fire.

Abilities are registered in the unit data and cannot be added/removed on the fly (I believe).

Thanks dude, i really need that explanation. But how could i create new abilities or at least add those custom ones to a character? For example: create an "Orange" Psi-Storm like that one in the files to download, add the effects to a new or alternative psi storm ability (to keep the original one) and add the orange psi-storm to the data related with for example Infested Kerrigan

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense

Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning

fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV
[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites

fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..

dumbducky -- I am so good at procrastinating

Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- I have no idea if Clans will finish his map but I hope so.
