[Help!] Terran Cloak Generator...

Okay, here is what I'm trying to do...

I'm trying to remember how I created a 'new' Terran building from 7 years ago, from a mod I never finished or released.

It's a Cloak Generator and it used the unused Cantina special building with the BASE graphic of the Missile Turret. IE the Turret part that spins on the Missile Turret wasn't placed on the Cloak Generator. It was a 2x2(ingame) building like the Turret and I had gotten it to be build by the SCV from the Advanced Building tab, and it would cloak all Terran units and buildings around it except for itself and other Cloak Generators. (the idea came from NOD Disruption Towers in C&C games, lol)

I'm using the special building "[181] Cantina (Unused)"
So far in DatEdit here is what I've done...
Units Tab:
(Note: Image is an animated GIF with about 10 seconds between frames[6 frames so 60seconds], this was easier then uploading and posting several images)


For the life of me, this is all I can remember of what I did 7 years ago. ><

I've been racking my brain for the last month trying to remember exactly what I did, but it was 7 years ago and I don't have any of the files from the mod I started back then. ><

So I guess I'm asking for some help in re-creating what I created back then, lol.

I'm using SCBW 1.15.1 with DatEdit v1.5d, Firegraft v0.93, WinMPQ, MPQDraft, and IceCC programs. Firegraft is new to me but rather simple to understand, when it comes to the buttons anyway.



None.

Just here for the activity... well not really

I don't mod, but are you editing the iscript at all?

Iscript has absolutely nothing to do with area-cloak. It's all in units.dat. Just set the "AI Orders" to 130 (Cloak Nearby Units) on AI and Human Idle, and make sure the unit/building has an air weapon (weapon range determines cloak range). Iscript would only be involved with the attack script if the unit/building doesn't normally have a weapon, to avoid an iscript crash.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating
