I have some questions. I'm trying to give a unit based off a child unit a inventory. What would I edit in the object editor?
Also I was wondering how I would make it so crops grow in the crop tile just like in Dark Deeds.
Would it be possible to make a patch of the crop tile like a building(like a regular building but it places the tiles) and still be able to walk on it and use it like one that was placed on the map(Use it like my second question so you can grow crops)?

So far my map looks good even though I am just working on the character selection. It's going to be sort of RPGish except you have to start a town and destroy all the evil.

I am guessing you want the child to be a non-hero and still be able to use items. In the child's abilities he has -- give him this ability:

Unit --> Inventory (Hero)

That was fast! Thanks but his foot prints are to big (I turned it into a different unit and made it smaller). Is there a way to fix this or should I make his movment type float or hover or something so he doesn't have any?

And you guys dont have to be technical about any of my questions just tell me basically how.

EDIT: Oops I edited the wrong one. Got it working but how can I fix the foot prints?

i dont think there's any easy way to change the footprints size. Im probably totally completely wrong, but i think you will have to model edit or something. (im really not much for model editing)

And let me mention something else. You probably dont want to start with an RPG as your first map, let alone it be your first map ever (altough you might have made maps in starcraft of AOE,i dunt knuw) I tried it and learned some, but i never really finished it. (see sig) I recommend a tower defense, but hey, ignore this if you want, you might have totally different resulta then me.

It's not really an RPG. You make a village and defeat the evil. Now I have a question. How do I make a unit a Hero? I gave it the Hero ability but nothing happens.

YOu cant make a unit a hero, u make a hero a unit ;)
Change the model of a already made hero to the model of the unit u want, change its soundset and set its skills to wat u want, change its icons too.

Well atleast I found out before I made ALL of the units. I just spent forever trying to get the attack animation the same speed as the attack. Also is there a way to fix the footprints or make them not apear at all?

I'm talking about making the foot prints smaller or to different units with smaller foot prints. Or you could just tell me how to make them have no foot prints at all :D.
