my goliath turret often faces the opposite direction of where hes heading from. lets say hes walking from left to right the turret will face left or some angles that makes it kinda stupid. heres the iscript and which is infleunced by BSTRhino.

Code

Goliath_Turret_Init:
playfram 0x77 # frame set 7
goto Goliath_Turret_Local00

Goliath_Turret_Local00:
wait 125
goto Goliath_Turret_Local00

Goliath_Turret_Death:
wait 1
end

Goliath_Turret_GndAttkInit:
playfram 0xaa # frame set 10
playsnd 70 # Bullet\TGoFir00.wav
attackwith 1
wait 1
playfram 0x77 # frame set 7
wait 1
playfram 0xaa # frame set 10
wait 1
playfram 0x77 # frame set 7
wait 1
playfram 0xaa # frame set 10
wait 1
randcondjmp 128 Goliath_Turret_Local01
randcondjmp 128 Goliath_Turret_Local02
gotorepeatattk
goto Goliath_Turret_Init
Goliath_Turret_Local01:
playsndrand 4 242 244 245 246 # Terran\GOLIATH\TGoPss00.wav, Terran\GOLIATH\TGoPss02.WAV, Terran\GOLIATH\TGoPss03.WAV, Terran\GOLIATH\TGoPss04.WAV
wait 1
gotorepeatattk
goto Goliath_Turret_Init
Goliath_Turret_Local02:

gotorepeatattk
goto Goliath_Turret_Init

Goliath_Turret_Walking:
move 0

playfram 0x88 # frame set 8

playfram 0x99 # frame set 9

goto Goliath_Turret_Walking

just out of curiosity why does almost all units has a wait value of 125 (well can't it be done with some other valuse than 125?)

None.

The 125 Wait script where the animation goes to wait for an order.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?

[04:25 am]

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

[06:15 pm]

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.

[03:43 pm]

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:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
