What's the condition for detecting a lifted building? Can I force the building to go into land mode or I need to remove & then create?
To detect a lifted building, make a Location on the size of the building, go to its properties, and uncheck all "Ground" boxes (or at least I think what they're named). Then, place it on the building you want to monitor, and run a trigger to detect when the building owned by the corresponding player is present in the location. Since you unchecked all the Ground markers on the location, it should only be able to detect the building if it's in the air. If the building lifts, I think you have no other options but to remove and then recreate the building.
None.

Make a location and uncheck all the ground flags. Keep only the "low air," "medium air," and "high air" flags checked. You will have to remove the building and create a new one if it's lifted; you can't force a landing.
In the event the building could be anywhere, you can just make one location the size of the map with all the Ground boxes unchecked.

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense[2025-5-15. : 11:37 am]
Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning[2025-5-14. : 4:42 pm]
fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites[2025-5-14. : 3:38 pm]
fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..[2025-5-09. : 8:45 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- Sie is really really good and I'm glad Clans had them do the terrain for the new map. I feel like not enough of Sie's stuff will ever get used on a finished map.
