In the unit properties tab, there's an unlabeled number box that I haven't been able to figure out what it does. It looks like this:

Hitpoints [150 ] [0]

Does that [0] do anything interesting?

It's the final, hidden byte of hitpoints; it's typically edited to create special wireframes (e.g. dark blue marine wireframes), I believe StarCraft internally uses it for hp regeneration.

Huh. Might be color, since zerg don't have a difference, unless its something baked into the code. Probably not going to affect much to be worth messing with.

Also, there's no way to change how much max energy a unit has, is there?

Starcraft stores HP in an 256-multiplied form, so that they can deal with sub-integer hp modification like zerg healing or 0.5 damage.
Map stores HP in its original form, so that [0] is the last fraction of HP. Think it as a remainder of HP divided by 256.

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.
