Creating Awesome Units

Like we all saw in the galaxy editor preview at BlizzCon, (youtube video), there are units like the Uberlisk that are completely customized and all that. How is this unit made? I'd to know how to make hydralisks with guass rifle tentacles, marines with personell siege cannons and predator zealots with immortal cannons on their shoulders.

Like I've been told,

Can the galaxy editor-
Yes.
So there has to be some way. Has anyone figured it out?

Relatively ancient and inactive

To very nicely make gauss rifle tentacles and other things like that, you'd most likely need outside modeling tools. What I expect the editor CAN do is to attach entire units (maybe, parts of units, but I'm not sure) to other units and make them act a certain way.

Red classic.

There has to be an easier way to do this than the tutorial says. Like they said, the galaxy editor should be able to do anything.

And there's a guy on the sc2mapster forum that found out how to give the uberlisk some using just the galaxy editor and some reference points that are apparently built in, but he has yet to be successful with full animations.

Well, Hati (the author of that guide) made it prior to GE being released. Someone else in that thread is working on a guide to Uberlisk with GE.

You guys should all look into some tuts for WC 3 mapping tuts, the galaxy editor, although better and different, is very similar to the 1 for warcraft 3

Well, either way, the dude has almost finished a tutorial on how to do it all from the GE. I'm excited for when it finishes, as it would be cool to have a DT with a turret on its shoulder. Predator ne 1?

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[08:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?

Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it

Vrael -- 240*12 is 2880, where is the other 3000 APM?
