I order you to forgive yourself!

How do you make a player not be able to zoom (Scroll in and out)? I'm able to lock the screen, but it will not allow the player to move around.

Let me show you how to hump without making love.

Did you try that camera object trick I suggested? Sorry, too wrapped up in my own triggers to test my theories properly.

Currently, there is no way to lock just the zoom to my knowledge. There might be a way to get the zoom value as an integer or detect when a player zooms however, then find where their screen was and re-adjust zoom to desired value via centering the camera on that location. That is most likely your best best.




None.

In that case, for now I'll just lock the screen and restrict the area until I can get a better idea of what to do.

Relatively ancient and inactive

From what I noted while playing with it, there's no built-in function to allow complete disable or reversal of zoom. It'd need to be coded in.



None.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
