Two Questions

1) Is it possible to change the cursor model in game. For instance, a player begins the game as orc (getting the green hand cursor), is it possible to change his cursor to the undead cursor?

2) Is it possible to modify (in game) what buildings a unit can build? For instance, a builder can build buildings A, B, and C, at the start of the game, but after 5 minutes, it can no longer build building A, but can now build building D?

1. I don't think so.

2. You could always make another unit which is exactly the same but has the different build list you wanted, as I think it is also no.

1.) Yes, but I don't think it can be done in-game.

2.) You would have to make parallel builders (builders that are exactly the same except for what they can build), and switch between them after 5 minutes.

Those are the answers I was afraid of (but expected ). Sadly, I really don't want to make like 15 different builders, and changing pointer models outside the game is out of the question.

Thanks,
Xeno

Edit: Come to think of it, I've done much more tedious stuff than make 15 builders, so I'll prob. end up doing that. However, it will take some time to motivate myself.

Just copy and paste the builders and edit however needed and then make the main algorithm.
