Ok, the last few weeks have been a frenzy of modding, but I have a few questions:
1: How does one go about changing the names in SC? I want to change weapon names, unit names, and even the race names. Is that a possibility?
2: I have a Gun Tower that I'm making for my new race that will replace the Protoss in my main mod. However, I want to give it a spray pattern of fire (similar to the Terran Valkyrie's Halo Rockets) . It is basically going to be like the LAAG on the M41 LRV (Warthog) in Halo, except there are going to be two guns spraying an enemy and anything around him with bullets. Can this be done?
3: I plan to give both the Terran Dropship and the Confed Skyjacker (the dropship from my new race) weapons. I'm thinking for the Skyjacker a large autocannon mounted underneath and two racks of something equivalent to Gemini missiles. The Terran one will most likely have a missiles and either some sort of laser battery or just more missiles. I don't plan to give the Overlord any weapons though. My question is this: if I put the armed transports in there, what will people think? I mean, is it a good idea to have the transports act like the Pelican from Halo, or should I scrap the idea entirely?
None.

1.

3. Sounds good, just don't make the weapons very powerful, as transports shouldn't be powerhouses of weapons ;D
Red classic.

2: Yes, this can be done through iscripts.

in weapons.dat:
set gun tower weapon's behaviour to halo rockets.
set cooldown to 1 (or higher if you want it to be slower, or much higher if you want it to fire in bursts)
if you want it to fire in bursts:
in iscript.bin:
find the gun tower's attack animation, where the attack opcodes are.
repeat the attack opcode as many times as you want per burst, with a wait 1 or wait 2 between each.
None.
