Questions Regarding Hallucinations

Two quick questions in regards to Hallucinations:

1. When you kill a Hallucination, does your kill score increase? If so, is it by the value of the normal unit, or a set value for all Hallucinations?

2. Do Hallucinations set off triggers? If I have a trigger. "Player 1 brings at least 1 Zlot to Location 7" Would a hallucination set this trigger off? I'm hoping it wouldn't, but I don't know.

Thanks in advance.



None.

I can't remember #1, but I think it's a no.

and for 2. No, the only way to detect them is to detect not detecting them(if that makes sense).



None.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Hallucinations are no real units, so you don't get kills score and you cannot detect them in conditions (so no, the trigger would not run).

However, they are affected by actions, such as move unit, modify hp or center location.

No that doesn't make sense if you don't explain it. :P

What Falk means is you use the property i mentioned that you can center locations on them. In a 2nd trigger you check if there's the unit you just centered on (bring). If bring says there's no unit, you know it's a hallucination (or there was nothing to center on, e.g. there's neither a unit nor a hallucination).

So you can use center location on a hallucination unit, but you can't detect the hallucination unit in a location?

Any other things in how hallucination units act different than regular units?



None.

Symmetry -- TFW you google a problem and find the answer in a post you made yourself

Zoan -- of course it isn't full understanding. You could ask "is the mechanism by which this counterexample blows up the ONLY mechanism possible for an initial configuration to blow up?"

Zoan -- ppl do it all the time in PDEs

Heinermann shouted: it also didn't solve that problem but hey as long as the investors are pleased
Constructing a counterexample is answering the question: "Is Navier Stokes well posed?" in the negative

NudeRaider -- I only heard about it, didn't any news article, so what did it do then?

NudeRaider -- I have no idea tbh. All I know no human was ever able to solve it, but there's at least a few that beat portal ;)
[05:32 pm]
Zoan -- Navier Stokes is not that esoteric I thought
[04:32 pm]
NudeRaider -- Zoan
Zoan shouted: I find it kind of sad that on the same day it was announced AI solved Navier Stokes, it was also announced AI beat Portal, and there's a good deal of people who don't know which is more impressive
you find it sad not everyone is a math nerd?
