New question: How do I shot web make buildings morph into units (another bit from PM {aka Nerien Guard buildings deconstructing}, but I'm using it for an experimental {and top-sekrit} third race)?

EDIT: Disregard, I have a theory that should work.

Yet another question: I'm trying to make a bunker/dropship hybrid. Does anyone know how best to achieve it? The bunker seems to have precious little information attatched to it, so I think that it may be hardcoded. Would I just be better off removing the bunker's building status, making it buildable out of a structure, and making it fly?

I've never experimented with the bunker but I'll tell you what I know.
People have tried this. The thing that makes units able to shoot out of a bunker is the .lo overlay that it's using. You can make any unit use the overlay and hold units. The problem is that the units stay/shoot from where they have loaded.

Simply put:
1. Give the marine the ability to move load units and give it the bunker overlay.
2. Load several firebats in the marine.
3. Move marine from point A to point B.
4. Zerglings happen to stumble across point A.
5. Zerglings are fried.

Goddammit.

Fucking hardcoding getting in the way of us making SC our bitch. You sure there's no way to get the overlay to follow the unit?

Actually, I was talking to DoA once and he mentioned something about that it was very possible to have mobile bunkers and so.
I did not ask any further information cause that wasn't what I asked him


I do not know how but I do can give you a way to bypass it.
Use a building -> unit morph. Like say... Siege tank, but then you'd have to press a button everytime you wish to move or attack.

Anyway, I posted because I desperately needed to correct hat.
Hat, the thing that makes bunker shoot isn't a .lo file. .lo files are only overlay information and overlays are not attacks
