Ok so to do the blue wireframe trick i've been setting unit healths to 2 with a hanger of 4. This seems to only work some of the time... I'll run the game, and sometimes it works for certain units, and the other times it works for other units. Is there a more efficient method to ensure all wireframes(zerg units excluded) will be solid blue??

No, it is fairly random. There are certain units that will always work, like Zerg units or a couple Protoss ones, but for the most part, it's just luck-of-the-draw. There may be a HP ratio that is more effective than others, but I doubt it.

And the current HP can only be one value higher than the max HP (unless you're using sprites).

Really?

Well while I have a topic open, I'm using farty's name overlapper, and I can't exactly get things to work right... No matter the length of the name I use, it always doesn't fit in the 31 character limit. Am I retarded or is it just impossible to perfectly double unit names??

The first one.

Kidding, of course. If you're using SCMDraft 2, you might have a problem with unit names because it limits the name to what can be displayed in the name box. Usually copying/pasting data into the box works, but this could be your problem.

I assume you're using this. It worked fine when I tried it. Of course, as you may know, it won't work with particularly long names, but it is otherwise accurate. If the laps are a little off, you should be able to add or remove a character at the end to adjust it accordingly. I don't like using the program because it uses W's and periods; I prefer to use tabs and spaces.

Actually, tabs and spaces may work better if you're trying to do a particularly long name, as they take up more space and require less characters, try replacing some of the spacing letters with those if you don't have enough space.

Also tabs and spaces don't have word wrap, so you can put more width than the text line can hold.

40/20 hp Marine has always been blue for me.

Ok I'll tab.

Vi3t, what if some of the units need a specific health?? Still nothing I can do?
