Making a Nuke vincible

I posted a newb mod I made some time ago, which has been discontinued, thankfully.

I did, however, attempt to make the Nuclear Missile vincible in this mod.

It worked. No iscript changes were necessary (it has a death animation), and anti-air defense buildings could target it with ease. The weird thing was that the projectiles hit a wee bit above the actual missile, but that could be because it was hurtling down at them.

I also found that you could destroy your own missile. :D

I attempted to make the Zerg Lurker require creep, sort of turning it into a pre-SCII Spine Crawler. This turns it into a completely defensive unit. When it died, it died, and nothing else happened. When it stepped off the Creep, it died like the Larvae do.

I'd like to try to make the Lurker produce Creep (not sure how to do this). If possible, I'd also like to make it have to be near a Creep producer (Zerg hub/defense building) in order to produce Creep (I doubt this is possible). If THAT is possible, I'd like to make it require Creep in order to Burrow. O.o

Any ideas, guys?

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

Oh_Man -- U reckon? Kasparov waa defeated by computer decades ago

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
