okay so i've spent the last 3 hours trying to make this work

i made a map previously where the invisable bunkers worked

however i loaded the same triggers, and set up all the same locations the same and its not working for me

i have it set up so that a location goes onto the supply depot and removes it then places a bunker there with marines, they enter the bunker and i move the bunker to another location. it takes the place of a player 8 bunker

i've gotton it to work however when it does, it crashes my game
also i cant make it work multiple times and i have perseve triggers on all of my triggers

also note that im using hyper triggers

is there somthing that im doing wrong?



None.

Are you disabling the Doodad state for the bunkers?



None.

when i did that, the the marines wouldnt go into the bunker
i moved it then disabled it when it was in a different location

so then i took off the disable and they went in and the bunker moved, but my game crashed

and i am using the Ai Script to enter the bunker at the respected location

If you want to do it multiple time you have to create a stack of buildings somewhere. Whenever you created the bunker and given the units time to enter remove 1 building from the stack and move the bunker there. This works as many times as you have buildings on the stack.

The crash shouldn't be happening though. I have only vague ideas on why that may happen:
- Do not disable the bunker
- Use a standard color for it
- Don't move the bunkers to a location at the map border
Don't know if these help, just try it.

You have to load the marines, disable, then move.

Are you trying to just move the bunker away so there is a invisible animation or replace it with a yellow bunker?

If the latter then just use this

Players.
Player X

Conditions.
Player X brings exactly 1 'Terran Supply Depot' to location anywhere.

Actions.
Center Location X on 1 Terran Supply Depot Owned By Player 1
Remove 1 Terran Supply Depot A location X
Move 1 Terran SCV for player X at location anywhere to Location Y
Create one Terran Bunker for player 8 at location X
Create 1 Terran Marine for player 8 at location X
Run Ai Script Enter Nearest Bunker at location X
Perserve Trigger.

You probably need waits spaceing that shit out but I'm not sure where so i Left 'em out.

i tried the stack thing, like i saw in the game Path Defense, but that didnt do anything except give me an unplaceable unit error

i've made a map previously where i had a large storage field and it worked well with that

Nuderaider hit it right on. Load bunker, then move it away somewhere. If you prestack ~200 supply depots in the corner, remove one, you can then move the bunker to the depots. Remove another, then repeat. look at dodge defense, or something like that.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating
