Hey. Just finished this tiny concept map that checks if an unit is in a statis field or not. Feel free to use or whatever.

Units:
Arbiter A - Arbiter with Stasis Field researched
Zealot Z
Reaver R - Reaver with 25 armor
Infested Terran IT - only 1 dmg

Locations:
"You" - location centered on the unit that is going through detection
"Test" - location a few pixels away from a Reaver located on the other side of the map. (The Inf. Terran has to run a short way to blast the reaver)

1. Create one IT at each Z and V
2. Check if there is 1 IT at "You" but none at "Test"
3. Display message "You're stasis'ed"
4. ?????
5. Profit

This wasn't probably the best description ever, so download the map and see for yourself. Might need a few fixes now that I think about it, but it should work okay.

Cheers.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
