Since I've decided to put an ability system in my special forces map (:massimo: I KNOW!), what would be the best, and easiest way to place timed spells/abilities for each unit?

If you want a brainstorming session, I'd suggest posting in the SC1 Production section, as this section normally handles solving problems you may be having.

The way I normally see spells implemented is from creating a unit from a building like a Stargate or something.

I appreciate the answer to the first part. I'll take out the second part and post in the other section. Thanks Roy!

There's an oddly-named and incomplete old wiki article that covers the standard ways of doing this sort of thing: Selection systems

Hmm...could it be renamed to be found easier?



None.

Caedo it will help alot if you gave use the niche that the unit has to fill.. e.g. harras, stealth, tank, damage dealer.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
