Is there any way to make units gain veterancy by using their abilities?
Example: medics gain lvls through healing.



None.

Woah

Hmm, good question. If done only through the Data Editor, you may be able to use Behaviors as a counter that then triggers a requirement for the particular Veterancy. If you're fine using triggers, I'm sure there would be a way to track healing done by a Medic, and then use that to add the requirement for the Veterancy.

Yup. As DevliN rightly points out.

You can create a Validator which 'Counts' the times an ability has been used. And once this validator returns true, it could unlock a Veterancy level (possibly through triggers).

If you have to resort to a triggered method, it might be simpler to create the entire system with triggers. Use Custom Values of units to track various abilities/statistics, and once they reach certain values - modify the experience that the unit has (and therefore it's current Veterancy level will change accordingly).



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
