Non-building Shops??

I can't figure out a way to make a unit sell items... I know it's probably not possible... but maybe someone else knows a way. I've also tried making a building with a unit model but it doesn't look right because they always face the same way... I know it's possible because in Defense of the Ancients his shops have unit models facing different directions. Any help? Or do I need to edit the model...?

You can change the direction your "Shop" faces in a trigger, and if the shop starts on the map, you can change the direction it faces in the editor too.

Units that aren't buildings do not have the "Units Sold" and "Items Sold" parameters. However, you can enable them for non-buildings units, in the UnitMetaData.slk file in the Units\ directory of your .mpq.

They work just fine. You can also make player-controlled units that sell items to allies only, just as per the player shops of TFT melee.

I've attached my modified file for you. Place this in your Warcraft III\Units\ directory. You don't have to add it to your map. It simply alters the WE to allow you to change these values for non-building units. I'm not sure if I've altered any other values. I hope it helps.
