Create unit tags misfunction *FIXED*

There are two kinds of problems I am facing, one is where a string such as "Create Devourer" comes up as "eate Devourer". The other is that the part that shows the mineral, gas, and supply cost is not shown. I attached my mod if it helps find the problem.

Also, if you run it, and the custom tags aren't shown, please tell me.

Thanks! it works now :)

For anyone else who has the same problem, it seems that the cause is that hotkeys are necessary to proper function of a tag when applicable (not optional) and if you try to remove the hotkey, the game confuses it with a different kind of tag (such as a name of a unit)

I think this is because the opcodes of the tag aren't set up properly. The <> parts.



Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

<0> = Label Only, no Requirements
<1> = Minerals, Gas, Supply (Unit/Building)
<2> = Upgrade Research
<3> = Spell
<4> = Technology Research
<5> = Minerals, Gas (Guardian/Devourer Aspect)

Told you already.

The first character is the hotkey, followed by the label type. So, you'd probably want something like "d<1>Create <3>D<1>evourer<0>". (The <3> and the second <1> are color tags, not label types.)



None.

I tried both and for some reason both problems persist.

Attach your stat_txt.tbl file. Tell me what lines specifically are dysfunctional.

To name a few:

Create Mutalisk/Guardian/Devourer/Death Hybrid/Storm Hybrid/Blood Hybrid

and thanks for helping me :)

hah yeah in the past that might've been up my alley. haven't really been mapping lately, been too busy with everything else. and kinda lost interest too tbh. just not enough people left on SC to feel worth investing the time personally.
