Hi,
I've been at this for many hours, literally and I can't find where to make this happen
Please look at this pic

you see where it says 350 for minerals and 250 for vespene.
Where is that specified in the editor?
I added a "warp in Selendis" and I want to assign cost to it.

Thanks

If you open the Data Editor and select the unit, you can modify its cost in the "Cost" tab. This will update the UI automatically.

If I understand what you mean then I've already done that

What this seems to do is make you have to "purchase" this unit, but it doesn't display the costs in when you highlight it in the stargate.

cheers

Edit its Tooltips. Make it show the correct prize when hovering the mouse over its icon.

You probably have the button set up incorrectly for creating your custom unit. You would probably want to create a separate button, but it would be possible to re-use the existing Carrier button.

In the ability "Stargate - Train" you can set up the command card to train your unit. You can basically copy one of the existing units' data for the ability and change the "Info - Unit" to your custom unit.

Hey reapur! (and welcome to SEN?) :)



Yup - you've set up the unit correctly, but you need to modify the ability that causes that unit to be trained here.

As you can see at Step 4, each Train ## command has a Button and a Unit linked to it. The Button is what is graphically displayed in the command card, as well as the tooltip - but not the unit costs directly for the production building (ie: Icon of a Carrier in the Stargate's command card). The Unit is the actual unit which will be created, and this contains all the information such as cost, build time etc... Once you've re-used or added a button, and linked your new custom unit (ie: Selendis Hero which costs 2000m and 2000g) to the Train ability, it should work like a treat!

Let us know how you get on :)

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
[2026-7-12. : 5:25 pm]
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
