Nvm problem fixed because there was 2 kinds of start locations and I select the wrong one from the doodad section instead of the one in unit, thanks
and sorry for double posting because I couldn't find a edit button anywhere.

1 more quick question then i will shut up
Is it possible to make a dark swarm pop out during the countdown timer at 20 seconds?
you might test on how defilers make dark swarms, and see if you can get it to cast it. Otherwise, no, there is no trigger to make a defiler cast a dark swarm, and they can't be moved or created (they can be pre-placed).

He means the Dark Swarms, you can move and create Defilers. :P

And you can move Distruption Webs with triggers, so if you can make a Corsair cast Dweb in an out-of-play area by attacking it with a missile turret or something, you can move the dweb unit, if that helps.

Getting a defiler to cast dark swarm is pretty reliable. Just have a ranged unit attack a melee unit owned by the same player as the defiler.

Thanks so much, anyway I can +rep or something to you guys?
isn't there like minerals i can sent?



None.

If you want to you can send minerals by clicking on someone's profile and clicking "Send Meh M1n3r4lz", but you don't have any because you're new here. (Not an insult, it's just a fact that you start out with -150 minerals and you haven't been here long enough to get to a positive number.)

The problem with what NudeRaider said is that then you have to actually have the Defiler right where you want the Dark Swarm to appear, which could be a problem. Why do you want the Dark Swarm? If you just want a visual effect you can use Dweb.



None.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
