Is there any ability...

...that may do any of the following, without relying to triggers?

What I need them to do is:

• Charge (or add) Gold and/or Lumber periodically
• Spawn units (sans summonable classification) and may even stop producing if the unit cap is reached
• Spawn unit after death but not if its construction gets cancelled
• Autocastable (or always active) cannibalize
• Instantly "eat" cargo
• Works just when an ancient is uprooted (I know eat tree does this somehow)

I am almost certain none of these are possible with just the Object editor, but I have hopes I am missing something there.

Also, is it possible to have "negative" (XORed?) techtree requirements? Like, if Upgrade A is researched, Upgrade B cannot be researched.

1-Dont think so
2-If you mean spawn once, yes, is multi times then no.
3-dont think so
4-no
5-like the meat wagons ability?
6-maybe if you set to work if you have unit...

Most of these things need to be done with triggers, but im sure there is a reason you dont want to do them with triggers

Well I can help you trigering number one cuz I done one myself yesterday. It adds gold every 3 seconds.. write me if u still need help with it!

About the last one I'm not sure but i think that Tree of Life (just an example) is 1 unit when it's grounded and totaly another when it's uprooted so u can add the skill to the 2nd unit (the uprooted one) and i beleive it should work this way and yes the last one is possible using only Unit Editor!

The others need triggering

As far as I know, all activated abilities are only active while the ancient is uprooted. Check the stats on uproot.

Hm when I checked it I couldn't find where the uprooted unit in the unit editor it's like it's the same thing which makes me wonder where have i seen it then anyway.. i belive now that all those skills should be triggered cuz it appears that there's no way to do it with the object editor..

Trouble maker, try looking in the special section (melee) for night elves, it's there

It is not there wehn you are browsing the object editor, but it is on the tool plaette.

I don't really need trigger help, I can manage to do all of the described on triggers by myself.

Thing is, I really didn't want to, for this stuff was intended for a customized melee that could be maintained/bugfixed/etc in its entirety on both the objkect editor, gameplay constants and game interface. Let alone the fact that I have found some interesting trickery you can do on the oe.

Thanks all anyway.

EDIT: Still no luck with the tech requierements either :(
