Hi guys,
I am trying to make a bound and i want to use a cloaked firing unit(commonly seen as a marine or tank) and i was was wondering what units can do this and how to do this. I looked in the tutorials and i might of looked over it....plz help!!!

thanks

Hang on, that's the cloaking. I think by disabling it again makes it go into the attacking animation.

Edit: Correct me I'm wrong guys, because I just realised I wasn't too sure either.

Marines, Ghosts, Tanks(They look like they're attackin when u disable, not sure if theres more units). You just Disable them. Use the trigger "Set Doodad State"

Thx guys,
now i have another question, for making bounds whats a good editor to use that has good triggers usage?

Define good trigger usage.

If you're referring to selection based triggering then read this:
Scxe can't do square terrain, unless with a plugin called ISOM (I think), which is extremely buggy and outdated as I have heard. So unless you do that, your best bet is starforge is scmdraft with trigedit. However, they both only have text triggering for now. I guess these are your only options.

I mean triggers you would use for bounds... exploding units, killing and making units... idk i tired using a editor from this site but you had to type in the trigs and i dont no what to type, i guess i need to just play around with them, but i dont no which to start with?

i just use starforge for terrains n scxe for triggers

this might make me look stupid.... what is scxe?

But then ud have to do the triggers first in xtra?
Would if like mess up the terrain if you did it first?
I guess not.
But theres a read-me in SF and SCM.
And SF has a thingy when you type if like rounds it to the nearest word.

scxe is starcraft x-tra editor, a very good editor for triggers

Thx a lot for the help. I will do what i can.

You can cownload SCXE and Starforge (for square tiles) at this sight under Staredit Editors

I mostly use scmdraft2 for terrain. Its better then starforge for terrain with the upgrade. But use starforge or X-tra editor for triggers, scmdraft2 is buggy (i think)

starforge pwns with terrains exspecially with copy n paste

If you use SF a lot, you'll see that it is a lot more buggy

scmdraft is great for terrainn and especially for location laying (it can become a nightmare if u have stacked locations and using SF, scmdraft 2 has a much better system for it)... when it comes to triggers though i dont think the scmdraft editor works (its never let me save actual triggers, whenever i go back the triggers are the same as be4, although i heard of others using them so its possible i'm doin something wrong...), the triggers in starforge, although they'd be behind in efficiency than what scmdraft's would be, are still great and far more efficient than the standard SCXE or staredit trigger system... starforge lets u fill in the blanks so it only takes a bit of practice to get used to it...
