Two Questions:

- I gave the reaver an actual ground attack, but it still needs scarabs to attack. How can I get rid of the scarabs and have it attack with the weapon that I gave it?
- How do I replace the reaver's graphics/wireframe with another unit's? I did this once, but I completely forget how to do it now.

Two Questions:

1) I gave the reaver an actual ground attack, but it still needs scarabs to attack. How can I get rid of the scarabs and have it attack with the weapon that I gave it?
2) How do I replace the reaver's graphics/wireframe with another unit's? I did this once, but I completely forget how to do it now.

1) Hardcoded. Don't bother.
2) I think there's a file containing the wireframes for all of the units, but I don't know what it's called, since I rarely mod them. As for replacing the Reaver's in-game graphics, that is done relatively easily by putting a GRP file in the correct path with the same name as the standard Reaver's GRP. You can find these things out in the Images.DAT portion of your DAT editor. I think the GRP path for reaver is YourMod/unit/protoss/trilobyte.grp . I'm not sure about the spelling of "trilobyte" though.

Also, naming your thread appropriately instead of using a generic, info-less phrase is bad procedure. I recommend using the sticky info from the mapmaking forums, i.e. name your topics accordingly, since you're less likely to have people think "FUCK YOU" the moment they see a thread named like how you have. :/

Alright then. I'll just place the scout with an immortal. Doesn't make much sense, but whatever. :P
