Hi, I have a question about how to make a proper Terran unit with Protoss shield on it.
I made a Auto-Turret, with its Shield Maximum and Shield Starting Amount = 500.
The shield works, but when something hits it, it does not flick (the shield flicking effect which any Protoss unit should have).
What should I do to get that effect to work on Terran's Auto-Turret?

In the data editor, go to your unit.
Go to : UI - Shield Armor Name > double click and input in "Text Key:" the following >> "Unit/ShieldArmorName/ProtossPlasmaShields"
Below should appear Protoss Plasma Shields
Step 2.)
Models>"Model of your unit">
Attachment Properties +
- Add value: e_attachRef_Origin, set Shield Radius above 0, it requiries some tweakin here, Squib type Shield
Quick note, IMPORTANT
You MUST attach the value to ORIGIN because any other unlegit point will make the shields distorted in scale, you Can howevere add multiple shields to multple LEGIT points souch as weapon01 or target01 or any bone you find on your model, this will not add extra shield, it will only add "more" shields popping up if the missle hits that radius, so you can add 10 shield effects to loki model, it will appear that every single piece of metal on that ship has a shield of its own, it works...
Got that from
thehelper.net.

Thank you very much! It works!!!
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
