k. In my mod I am trying to get Terran Buildings to upgrade to other buildings.
I added all the buttons, some DAT editing, blah blah blah.
By the way, I am using 1.12b.

I go and test it. I press the button, it starts building. The bar is full and it should be done, but it stops. I select my SCV thinking maybe it will do something. It does. I click the building.. Oh no! Its the starting building again! I press the Upgrade button again... nothing.. *click click click click*.. nothing..

1. Is zerg building morphing hard-coded or something (in 1.12b?)?
2. Is there a way to make it not require the SCV to "touch" it?
3. Why is it just rebuilding itself? I'll check the Star/MemGraft patches to make sure I got it all right.
4. .

that "stop" means builing was build progress stop in mid ? or just looks not complete ?

sound seems like that buiding is not Actual building yet
i mean i guess that condition is still didn't change unit id and building reqirement state
but i have no idea yet untill i hear from u what exactly u did in mid of ur workflow

not hardcoded in my experienced in 1.12b

u can make that without SCV build behavior
track from here and apply reverse then u would make solutions

well i just guess that maybe u missed something
basically building construction behavior undercontroled by graphic propertie of unit.dat and Action Requirement of memory


i would better to figure out what ur conditions if u attach some screenshot
and worked each settings

It stops when it should be finished.
It plays an "Addon complete" (its not an addon..) sound, but its like the screenshot I just put below.

Also I checked all the memgraft/stargraft files and they have the right req. and action variables..

EDIT:

Yeah I don't think the ID changes.. I press the button to make it morph, but it just stays the Supply Depot. When it is done, it does the first frame of a small construction, and it is frozen like that until I tell an SCV to finish it.

EDIT:
In StarGraft this is what I have..


EDIT:
Ew... And if you cancel it, it will die.
Is it possable to completely copy the Zerg morphing but make it use the Terran animations?

terran advisor who woman cybog play like that?
btw why that building showed just small construction flat like start build ?
is that just modified graphics by u ?
if that is not, i guess that building didn't connect constructing graphics
and conditions to morph so that's showed like that

try change construction graphics to zerg building morph not terran construction
also u should change memory settings to able zerg morph
if would not works though did like that then i have no idea wat exactly missed


try just used buildings not unused building
when had work with unused toss buildings they wouldn't connect some orders
and conditions but i don't know exactly wat is not supported as well
or maybe that was just missed

It starts out building with normal graphics, but when it finishes it goes to that small thing.

The fact that the progress bar is complete but the morph is not taking place tells me that perhaps you have to include "sigorder 1" in the morphing animation in iscript.bin. Thought of this already?

.. ugh.. so I have to do iscript editing?
Fun.

You might want to change the requirement to "Always" since the supply depot cannot build/morph

Just so you know, I think there's a command in the exe that says only zerg buildings can morph,
which might be forcing your supply depot into thinking it's the addon of another building


also, you might want to check the "Action Var", since you might've gotten the number wrong, thus making it morph to itself

The buttons work just fine. It is building, just not to what the button and Memgraft tell it to.
If you look a few posts up, I put what I have everything as in StarGraft; it is correct.

Once of them can morph to itself endless amounts of times.. O.o

Morphing to devourer/guardian is hardcoded, so my guess is that morphing buildings is too.

But in the version I am using (1.12b) is when the Morph Hack came around.. meaning any unit can morph.

but zerg building when is morphing they not use "sigorder 1"
they use "4" cuzz 4 is oneself in Zerg construction script
unexpectedly zerg buidings don't have any signal order command in their script related to morphing action
i so think when morph is start that state is already changed to target unit
so when progress complete to 100% they call sigorder 4

check zerg building construction script u will see that
and zerg morphing of building scripts not have own script
they use just partial of Zerg Construction script

that's why i said like this

Answer is just simple
try compare to zerg cleep colorny and sunken or spore colorny
and check all of items such as unit.dat requirement of memory and scripts
if would don't see works as well then try change race of building to zerg
that's it i guess that could make with current tools though that need to combinated settings
ADDITION:

no, that's already maded by Sickel mod 1.12 what new realsed by me in korea,
and New Assult mod and teamfortress mod there are many abe morphing buildings
and units Also they are run with 1.12b

Where do I put sigorder? You said to put it where the Zerg morphs have it, but terran constructions don't have "IsWorking"; and adding it sure wouldn't do anything. (I tried)

EDIT:
I tried this...

CODE

ConstructionSitemediumConstrctHarvst:
playfram        2
sigorder        4
goto            local212

but it doesn't do anything.

EDIT:
Voy made me feel like an idiot.
I forgot to change the type when I tried "IsWorking".

I think the trouble with "IsWorking" might have to do with the fact that "IsWorking" isn't really the working animation. Unknown19 is the actual "unit is building something" animation. I have no clue what sigorder does, but knowing this might help you.

It's because I forgot to change the type. I still need to test it, though..

EDIT:
No work...

Yeah...the Hatchery would also work if it was

HatcheryIsWorking:
wait 1

maybe it isn't the iscript...it's the exe itself...


ADDITION:
It's most likely hardcoded to zerg(and possibly to the original buildings, but I think that was post 1.12b), because I got creep when I tried making it finish manually. on 1.12b. I double checked everything, it just wouldn't work.

I guess all the headers research I did recently isn't really helping anyone out...noone's using it.

that header should be called 'AlmostBuilt', it's used for the graphic when a unit's almost built, or when a builder's almost finished.

But thats the opposite of what hes trying to do.. hes trying to make it so he doesnt have to touch it for it to work isnt he?

Or are you saying the concept that you jsut cant change it?

change req. to something you already have like the command center for argument sake. (usually would be the building before it morphs rite?)
