Chapter Two: Fundamental Unit Statistics Reference: Arsenal III: Units Editor: Basic Vital Statistics Hit Points [text box]: This value should be obvious enough; it is the normal, or "default" number of hit points a unit has. Changing it is as simple as putting in another number. Shields [text box]: This value is just like the hit points value, only it tells Starcraft how much shields to give this unit. [check box]: Check this box to give the unit shields. Any unit may have shields, not just Protoss units. Armor [text box]: This value is the amount of armor a unit has (before upgrading). Build Costs Time [text box]: This value is how long it takes to build/train the unit. The higher the value, the longer it will take. Minerals [text box]: This value is the mineral cost of the unit. Gas [text box]: This value is the gas cost of the unit. Weapons Ground [drop-down menu]: This is the ground weapon that this unit uses. (Pointer to an object in weapons.dat) Max Hit [text box]: This is the number of "hits" the weapon does on the target. For display, such as on the firebat. Air [drop-down menu]: This is the ground weapon that this unit uses. (Pointer to an object in weapons.dat) Max Hit [text box]: This is the number of "hits" the weapon does on the target. For display, such as on the firebat. Food Required [drop-down menu]: This value is how much "food" (supply/control/psi) the unit uses up. 49.5 is the maximum and 0 is the minimum. Units like the zergling only use up .5 ("half") food. Any unit can do similarly though (as well as having some strange improper fractions like 4.5). Provided [text box]: This value is how much "food" (supply/control/psi) the unit provides the player with. The type of food it produces depends on its group flags. [See the StarEdit section] The number you put here is actually 2 times the actual food amount you will see in the actual game. For example, if you put a value of 20, it will produce 10 food. As far as I know, any unit can be given food (it will also automatically display your food statistics in the control bar when selected). If you give a unit 0 food (i.e., a command center), it will no longer display the food statistics when you select it. Score Produce [text box]: This value tells Starcraft how many points to award a player for each of this unit he/she builds or trains. It is recorded in the general Unit score after a game is complete. Destroy [text box]: This value tells Starcraft how many points to award a player for each time he/she kills or razes this unit. It is recorded in the general Unit score after a game is complete and is also the number of "kill point" you get if you are displaying a kill score leaderboard. Space Required [text box]: This value tells Starcraft how much space this unit will take up in a transport/bunker. For example, a value of 1 makes this unit take up one little box of transport space like a normal marine. 2 makes it like a normal hydralisk. 4 makes it a "big" unit, like a tank. Flying units generally have a value of 255 -- meaning "I can't go in transports." =) Provided [text box]: This value is the number of units that can "go into" this unit. For example, Transports can hold 8 and bunkers can hold 4 (depending on units' space, of course). While you can give any unit Room, it will not do anything unless a few other values are changed (notably in the AI/Orders section). Though, even if you achieve the ability to "load" units into a non-transport, non-bunker unit (let's say a wraith), there is no way you can get those units back out (unload) unless you give them the appropriate display and/or buttons with Stargraft. It is possible to have a transport (or a bunker) have more than 8 room, but you will not be able to see their wireframes in the transport (because it will already bee full). |
