Anyway to edit the "locust" ability?

I'm using the warcraft FT editor, just the normal one, and i found that I can't find the locust ability. Locust Swarm yes, just Locust no. I was hoping to make a starcraft carrier like ability. Anyone know anything that might help?

The main thing is, i want them to move around like that, but ARE selectable.

The locust ability simply makes the unit invulnerable and unselectable. It doesn't control their movement.

Locust Swarm is what makes them move, simply create a new ability based on it and set the summoned unit to one that doesn't have the locust ability (The locust unit which is summoned by Locust Swarm has this ability).

// Edit
// I apologise for the mis-information. I'm utterly confused by this, because locust can be used on its own to provide the effects above.

Are you sure? When i last removed the locust ability from locuses, they just sat there until i ordered them otherwise... i shall try again.

*edit* ok, didn't work... T_T what am i doing wrong?

The carrier ability is a hard one to recreate, but is possible, as is just about anything with blizzard's great editor. I dont think locut ability is the way to go, but mabye use the locust auto pathing for selectable and invunerable units. ou could, of course just use the standard locust ability with diffrent models and say the name on the spell, but i doubt that would be as effective as what you hope. Im really not sure about this, but have you considered making the unit have the transport ability for units that , when released, are put under AI controll, and the return to the Carrier? that way you could have a spell that costs gold to spawn the pods INTO the carrier....

im no good at JASS or really spelling like this so thats the best i can do... keep it up!

man... hehehe. I have no experience with JASS or much Computer language whatsoever. You're probably right tho about the way to go. I'll just do my best with what I have and know . Thanks for the support tho. :D. If anyone else can help with this idea, that'd be great thanks.

Dsaber.
