Help with burrowing/cloaking

I am making a survival map where computer units search/destroy player units
and the player must survive.

Since the players can use burrowed units for stealth, I dont want computer to just
automatically share player's vision. But I also dont want computer to have no response to burrowed lurkers. So how should I fix this problem?

I am using AI random suicide missions and also gave computers scanner sweep. Thing is when burrowed lurker is around other visible units like ultralisk, computer doesnt bother to sweep at all. So is there
way that computer see only lurkers automatically?



None.

No, there really isn't a simple way to do that. I'd personally just not allow players to use Lurkers to solve that problem.

According to this, http://www.staredit.net/starcraft/Spells_%28Terran%29 the computers should be using their scanner sweep to detect the lurkers, so maybe someone else can chime in as to why they are not. My guess would perhaps be the custom AI script you are using.



None.

This would only be possible/plausible via modding.

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.
