Enabling Xel'Naga Structure
Hi, I am trying to make the Protoss Xel'Naga structure to be buildable, however, it crashes the game when it reaches completion.
I tried copying the Nexus iscript and inserted it on the Xel'Naga but it still crashes. Anyone could help me out please?

It's been several years and I don't have modding tools, so bear with me for a second:
I'm assuming you're having a probe build it as a Protoss structure (warp in, rather). As a protoss building finishes a few animations happen which are probably what are causing the crash.
I'm sorry I can't be more help, but try studying how the 'warp in flash' works for other buildings, check for relevant flags/animations in the .dat files and see what helps.
EDIT: Each building's warp flash has a unique images.dat entry. Creating one for the xel naga temple would be a place to start.

Yes indeed, I am using a Probe to build a third building category called "Super Structures" which contain Special buildings such as the Xel'Naga Temple.
Btw, that seems to be a good idea... yes, I'll try them. By any chance, are you the one who created the mod (I forgot the name, it has been 10 years), that adds new units to Terran, Zerg, and Protoss including special buildings, the Zealot Fist, Protoss Obsidian, etc?
I didn't know there were flash animations, I'll try to look up at the images.
Btw, here's my mod... I call it StarCraft X.
EDIT:
How do I add a Xel'Naga Temple Flash animation?

I am many years late, but I just made my Xel'Naga temple warp in with a Nexus image (just a white outline) since that is called from the iscript. You need to call it from the number, copying the code structure from other Protoss buildings.
Here my custom script for the campaign-only Protoss temple (iscript number 189):
It works and doesn't crash.
Of course, you can also generate an entry with your preferred warp flash image, as to not reuse an existing warp flash image. It will look more accurate, but you normally have to sacrifice another image entry to turn into your custom warp flash. The number of unused image entries is limited.
If anyone is sensitive to "thread necro" this is my explanation:
- The question was rather important for modding
- Nobody had solved it
and
- This works as future documentation for people
