darkwulfv	Create a custom ability using locust as the base... locust can be found under the "Units" catergory.

BBDino	1) Wrong forum. 2) it's often referred to as "aloc" in the editor.

SFilip	> LOCUST is not LISTED in the WE Object Editor It is, but its not visible when you click on the Abilities tab. Not that it's needed there though... > How can u edit it? Why would you want to do that? Or, better, what would you like to edit about it? The name? Nothing else is worth editing anyway (it has no data field, you obviously can't see the description/icon when you add it to some unit...).

Jacek	It is listed... but you are looking in hero abilities I'm 100% sure I use Polish WorldEditor and it's there, I think it was there when I was using English version of it

TRouBLe_MaKeR	The Locust is in clasification UNIT not abilities. Try finding it in Units, Undead, Special. From there set a different model and set the new locust to be summoned by the Locust Swarm. I've edit this skill around 1000 times so i think you shoul have no problem.

SFilip	He is looking for the locust ability which makes the unit unselectable and untargetable...not locust swarm, not the locust unit.

You can't.

And if you need it, check the Locust unit created by Locust Swarm, and copy and paste the abilities.

shadow1500	It is possible to make it visible in the editor by changing the "useInEditor" field in AbilityData.slk for locust to be 1. I see no point in doing it though, since locust has no data fields to edit.
