I don't get why I can't be splashed!!! I must've stumbled onto somethin' every sc map maker wants cept me, cuz this stupid no splash damage sucks! Okay I created a spell that's suppose to attack with splash damage but when I use the spell, everything works just as I wrote it out to be yet when the Scarab's explode they don't deal damage. Not to the caster nor to the enemy. The first time I triggered it the splash damage was so bad it killed the caster. I was happy, singin' an everything. But then I... :ermm: ... Changed some stuff... And now it wont kill the caster nor any enemy anymore. Even though I changed things back (simplifyin' it though) it still wont work, and I've forgotten how the first triggers were written to begin with! So gay!!! So annoyin'!!! If I knew what I was doin' wrong I could write out a tut on how to get around splash damage. But since I don't understand what's causin' the triggers not to work... I need help... Please someone smart answer to this! :crazy:

The easiest way to do DDS is to move the scarab to the location you want it to do dmg, then move it to an unwalkable location. It should then explode and cause dmg.

What do you mean by "unwalkable"? Right now I have it set to where the scarabs explode as soon as the spell is cast. So they explode instantly.

Move it to where you want the dmg, then move it to an area where units cannot walk (i.e. walk, space, null terrain, etc.)

Heinermann -- who decided "we're not necessarily anti-bot"? It's worse than spam, it's social engineering to trick people into believing that they are legitimate and get them to click their links

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
