"Must target unit": I kinda am...

I'm making a spell that targets any Overlard on the map and converts it to an Overseer. I gave it 500 range and set up everything in what appears to be the correct way. Then, I test the game and it says "Must target unit" when I cast it on an Overlard. ???

Oh, while I'm at it, how to make the ability only target Overlards (like Calldown Supplies only targets Supply Deposits)?

Make sure the filters allow overlords (Air is selected, ground is excluded) and also only allow player (enemy, neutral, and ally are excluded). To make it only select overlords you have to create or re-use a validator. The Validator should be "Unit-Filter" and makes sure the target is an overlord.

Yah, did all that. Now it says "Must target air units" instead of "Must target units". Otherwise, no change.

I'm clicking RIGHT ON the Overlard... Why won't the gosh-darned spell cast?



None.

Mind posting the map?

What type of ability are you using? I would imagine Effect - Target?



None.

Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen

Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
