I seem to remember reading somewhere that there's a way to make it so lurkers will never burrow [especially while under attack]. The lurkers are gonna be running through enemy fire, and every time they get shot it's instant burrow. Since I never tested the mentioned method, I don't remember it. However, the majority of methods I attempted either were lolfail, or crashed SC outright, I turn to SEN.

I also, at a similar time-frame and conditions of the previous problem, thought I read something about how you can have killable scarabs. This [theoretically] seemed even more impossible to me, and my attempts proved that it's at least equally impossible for me.

Oh, and while I'm at it, I think I'll test a way to get spidermines to run in a path. I'm guessing AI script "set generic command" and then an order command will work?

EDIT: Using a test map to attempt to boss around spidermines=fail. The insubordinate wenches refuse to listen to triggers...but, sadly, that was anticipated.

Disable the Burrow tech for the player that owns the Lurkers.

Spam the move order.
IIRC, computers always have burrow, and lurkers always have burrow too.

Wouldn't that just make them burrow, then unburrow and move?

I don't know, but try it. I don't have SC right now so I can't.

Surprisingly enough, spamming makes it burrow/unburrow indefinitely. Even whilst not being attacked. I discovered that in a loop of archons, and for some reason moved them away. I still don't know why I moved em.

EDIT: comon, I need to know if you can make scarabs attackable. My gut is telling me no...but I'd like to hear from someone with more knowledge than me.
