:LoL ! Just stop cry like a chill, RetroGRP's message 'Errorrr' is his "Hi" message, it's not an error, and it's not with RetroGRP's you will do an attack like that.
For disperse attack. Just shearch the tutorial of Ice "Basic Ice Tutorial" in tutorial section. It's explained, and next time if you have a problem, explain it correctly and pleaze don't post stupid crying post ^_^.
Edit - I think for the marine in Terran doom wasn't been like the dragoon in doom dragoon. I might be wrong.

well i don't know what version of reto grp i got but what i do is open winmpq extract a grp file (the unit you want) from startdat.mpq or broodat.mpq and then i open that grp file that i saved in a folder ;Dwith retro grp and the write out bmps and modify them in msn paint then compile then back and make a mpq file with winmpq and then run it
omg....that was a long explanation for something easy...don-t say anything about this post ignore, it ignore it

Hmmm… the way I did it in Terran Doom is probably too complicated but it allows more control and has a better effect. I've said this before in other threads, but the Marine had a 600 line attack animation for Terran Doom.

If you wanted to do it the easy way, you could do it the way the Doom Dragoon does it, but you need to fix the flingy of the Gauss Rifle so it can move invisibly, and then make it appear when it hits the target and cause damage. This is how I did the Sunken Colony attack in the soon-to-be-released Zerg Doom. I’m going to provide summary steps, but if you can’t understand them you need this effect is beyond your level and you need to practice more.

• You need to turn the Gauss rifle into a projectile flingy, like a missile. This way you can use the “Halo” effect like the Doom Dragoon does. I’ll be more specific, but basically look at other missile weapons like the Phase Disruptor or Longbolt Missiles to get more information.
  • First you need to give the gauss rifle movement properties. That means, speed and everything else in flingy.dat. Wondering how to find which flingy.dat entry it is? Get its entry ID using Arsenal Zero. Decompile weapons.dat, find the Gauss Rifle weapons.dat entry and locate the “sprite” field which will tell you the flingy.dat ID of the Gauss Rifle.
  • Change the iscript of the Gauss Rifle so it suits the same format as missile weapons. Take a look at missile weapons. Notice what they do differently in their initial ground attack animation and in their death animation. Specifically, their ground attack animation loops endlessly and it doesn’t contain a domissile dmgcommand. That’s in the death animation. Change the Gauss Rifle iscript to match this format.
  • Make the Gauss Rifle invisible when moving, and visible when it hits. tmprmgraphicstart is the command to invisibilise and tmprmgraphicend is the command to visibilise.
• Now you just need to change the weapon missile behaviour to “halo” and you will have a weapon that scatters. You might want to give the Marine multiple shots.

That’s all the information you should need. I’m sure there are other people on the forums who could work with those instructions, but if this is a little too high level for you, then you need to practice more. Unfortunately I can’t tell you where to click all the time to be able to compile an MPQ and decompile a weapon animation, you need to know that already to achieve effects like this.

I might have missed something in those steps, so you’ll need to turn on your brain to make sure you know what’s going on and spot if there’s anything I have missed.

Wrong! ICE and IceCC are tools for sprite animation editing, not the AI scripting. For this, there is SCAIEdit.

It's not a quiz lol !

About IceCC i can't read the manual (T_T Sucking computer T_T), so i don't really know how to use it and what you mean by 600 line lol(do i look scared?lol).
If anyone could give me a small tutorial or "manual" for show me how IceCC work i would be really happy, if you don't want, there is no problem...i'll shearch something for help me, but i probably don't find (T_T), my version of a adobe is 5.0 ! Thanks

Ok, first thing - you get the latest Adobe Reader from:

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

(if you're on a pre-NT windows, like 95 or 98, then go here:

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/read...llversions.html)

You can definitely open the IceCC doc with it and learn MUCH from there. Then come back and ask precise questions, because explaining the whole philosophy behind IceCC scripting is a thing to learn through experience rather than lecture. At least that's what I think.

Much thanks for BSTRhino for the help....and sorry for the copy of the name of my second mod........this will name....''ZZZerGGG''
= for the others......

ADDITION:
Sometimes......my mod falls down........i don't know the reason!!!!:'(

These are called 'errors', man....

But toss'em over here - we're deal with them with extreme prejudice...

Could you give us some more detail on how it falls down...an example would be it suddenly switching to regular starcraft, it crashing with a solid black screen giving a error, or a unit with error written as its name or what

also could you tell us how often it hapenns if it hapenns during a part of the game or any other information you might find usefull

My mod falls down in the middle of the game......... example: where a marine attacks with bombs.....the game crash and falls down

Sounds like you had a problem with the marines graphics like a missing animation or too many or the marine doesnt support your graphics or something

I'd go for a missing animation. Didn't you, by a chance, give him and Air Attack weapon but forgot to implement an Air Attack animation in Iscript.bin?

Well, we're talking about the Marine here, so my guess is that the culprit would be your Bombs weapon. That's a different story, the rest of the Marine should be working fine if you made sure you covered all the points I gave you.

How have you setup your Bombs weapon?

Right, and I take my 'advice' back....I don't know how could I forget that the Marine has both the air and ground attacks....:me stupid, me stupid. -/

Thanks...the marine attacks in halo mode..... here is a test.....:D:D:D

Ah, I always feel good whenever people are capable of doing effects and they don't need step-by-step instructions. Good job, that means you're really getting the hang of this modding thing!

Thanks BSTRhino........i never think what i meet with you......!


ADDITION:
Here is a new mod created by ME!.....QuickTossAttack!!!!!!!!!

What is this!?!?!?!?!
