I wanted to make the hero firebat be buildable but what ever i do just doesnt seem to work. Is it just the hero can't be buildable or am i doing something wrong?

I believe you might be missing a step in Memgraft. Double check against these:

1. Did you change the Unit Requirements?
2. Are the Requirement/Action functions the right ones?
3. Did you change the Req/Act Var's on the button?
4. Did you change the Number Of Buttons on the Units tab?
5. Is you patch being applied properly(the mgd is in the right mpq and it is loading?)

Well I'm not esactly sure on what the right oens are....

ADDITION:
Ok this is the button for the Terran Barracks:

QUOTE

Command: Gui Montang (Firebat)
Static:
Position: 5
Icon: Gui Montang (Firebat)
Reg Type: Can Create Unit / Building
Action Type: Create Unit
Req Var:10
Action Var:32

and this is the Unit:

QUOTE

# of Commands: 6
Commands: Terran Marine / Firebat + Heros
Connected Unit: None(is this sapost to be something?)

and the unit Req is esactly the same as the Terran Firebat.

The act var needs to be 10, because it is the ID of the unit built.

The number of buttons was actually on the Barracks, not the unit. You need to make sure the Barracks set has all the normal button sets.

I'm guessing the problem was the act var. Try fixing that first, then tell us what happens.

Change the Unit Req for gui montag to
-Current unit must be next (op code)
-Terran Barracks (param)

And also req var and act var have to be the same number (the ID of the unit)

So, which happens:

1. The new Firebat build button does not show up at all.
2. The button is grayed out.
3. Clicking it does nothing.
4. Other...(clicking it does _______).

Number 1.

oh this happened with me, try putting the button in ORDER. you can only do this in stargraft, so you have to

so try this with your current button make position to 8.

also do what DoA said and make the action var and require var as the firebat's units.dat ID number.

Follow this tutorial: http://www.smempire.org/tutorials/trainablecivilians.php

It's not for version 1.13e, but it works the same anyway.

If it was Number 1, then what is the requirement for the unit? Because that's what's causing it not to show up....

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Pyro-Fire on 2006-07-26 at 11:16:32

its the slot in which the button is. thats what my problem was when i was trying to add a button.

Are you certain that StarCraft is located in the same directory as the one you installed it in?

Start Menu -> Run -> type in "regedit" (no quotes) and hit enter, then go to
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Starcraft and make sure that everything is correct there (Mainly InstallPath must be correct)

If InstallPath and the other directories that are related are correct, and you followed the tutorial EXACTLY, then I can't come up with a reason for it not to work

Sorry for not being clear enough, I meant the trackbar items, what were they? It should be similar to this:

Current Unit is
Terran Barracks
Is not training or upgrading
Academy(or whatever building(s) you require for it to be built)

Hmm. Are you getting other Memgraft changes? (If not, it means you could just not have any of the patch working...which would be a different problem...)

You might be right.

If you have the new firebat button which doesn't appear and that we supposed you did everything right.
if you have it on slot 5 and as the last command it would for some reason not appear.
which means that all the commands in slot 6,7,8,9 have to be remade.

if it's not that.
check again that you have the unit req ok and the number of commands of the unit.

OHHHH, that's what I forgot to tell you. When you add a new button, in needs to be in position order, so you have the baracks with the following:

pos 1: marine
pos 1: move
pos 2: firebat
pos 2: stop
pos 3: ghost
pos 4: medic
pos 5: NEW HERO BUILD
pos 6: rally
pos 9: liftoff
pos 9: land
pos 9: cancel last

Meaning, like Corbo said, you have to redo every button from the new build on. I'm so sorry I forgot about that, because Firegraft doesn't have that problem, so I don't remember it. That's also why the number of buttons didn't immediatly pop into my head.

Good catch Corbo...
