Units based on Siege Tank Turret have the full UI stats display when selected, but Goliath Turrets don't:

I want Goliath Turret, Cargo ship, Mercenary Ship, Disruption Web, and Nuke to have the full UI stats display.

In GPTP, I investigated stats_panel_display.cpp and weapon_armor_tooltip.cpp, but had no success.

In stats_display_main.cpp, canDisplay = UnitStatCondFunc(unitStatFuncs[activeUnit->id].UnitStatCondFunc); probably return false for this unit id, thus skipping completely the display.
There may be other issues after that though.

Have you changed the Status Preset value in FireGraft? Try setting it to Normal Unit.



all i am is a contrary canary
but i'm crazy for you
i watched you cradling a tissue box
sneezing and sniffling, you were still a fox

Yeah, Firegraft is about enough to change that.



Trial and error... mostly error.

It has worked. Thank you! :thumbup:

For future beginner searchers:
Steps to turn special units like Turrets or Disruption Web into normal, Marine-like unit:
1) in PyDAT: Copy Marine Entry over Goliath Turret / Disruption Web / whatever speical unit slot
2) in Firegraft: Find the changed unit and set "Status Presets" to "Normal Unit" and "Button Set" to "Basic Commands" (or sth similar)

I also attached images of the steps in Firegraft and PyDAT to this post.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
