This tutorial will assume you know about the *.txt files used to create custom units and abilities, and the basics like that.

So, to create a tower creating ability, we need a few things:

• An overriden hero to place the ability on
• A custom ability that is attached to said hero
• A lua script that deals with logic beyond the scope of the ability itself
• A custom building to place - we could use a preset one, but that is boring.

This tutorial will assume you have a addon_game_mode.lua file, and that is has the appropriate methods required to launch an addon.

The premise for this tutorial is the following question: "How do I make it that so having the correct items in the correct order results in the items being combined?" Note that making custom item recipes is a much easier way to go about this if recipes make sense for your mod.
