Is there any way to give players free nukes without them having to click and manually build them? In my map players get to control 1 unit at a time, with a random chance that they could end up with a ghost. I would like it so that if they get a ghost, they get a pre-loaded nuclear silo without them having to manually build the nuke themselves. Ideally when they have a ghost, they will gain a silo that is armed, and when they lose the ghost (gets killed and replaced by some other unit) the silo will also go away.

Is there anyway to do this?

I attempted to use a Create nuke trigger with a location centered on the silo, but as expected that didn't work.

While looking into the "nuke here" AI script, I found mentions of this:

"So your other option is to use the Broodwar Terran 2 - Town B AI, which makes the computer build the nukes, so as long as they have enough resources, they will build them. Then you can just run the Nuke Here AI and it should work fine."

So could I create a silo for P8 (my CPU), run that script so that it builds a nuke, and then give the silo to the player (and optionally play the "Nuclear missle ready" wav manually)?



None.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
