I order you to forgive yourself!

Last year, I made a bound for a member of my clan to show him how I made my bounds. I think it could help you. The bound triggers are under player 7.

Oh, you used death counters, I'm sorta lazy to delete everything and do it all in death counters. I was looking for a way to just use another switch for the ob to go over 64 actions.



None.

Your method works. Well that is if you're clearing the switches somewhere because if not, both triggers would run the same time instead 1 after another.
Otherwise you're probably running into wait blocks or you're not using hyper triggers.

If you really want to keep your waits (With all what comes with it), you can just use a death counter at the end (the 64 action) and make a the next trigger based off that death count.

Example:
If bound 1 is going and if Death of a unit == 0, do your first 63 actions.
If bound 1 is going and if death of a unit == 1, do your next 63 actions. (And so on)

I remember seeing a wiki article about the method I'm explaining.

That doesn't make sense. Switches work just as well.

I use death counts because they seem to be more useful. If I decide I want to have a sequence of explosions I can use a single death count instead of multiple switches.

Ohh, I'm so stupid, I forgot to make a trigger that clears the switches. Thanks.

By the way, one reason why I'm not using death counters is because I'm not willing to spend a heck load of time on this, and I'm using Angelfarto's BoundMaker.

Once you plan your bound, I think it goes faster having everything on different triggers since it's easier to spot mistakes if there are any. It took me less than 20 minutes to make the first 4 obstacle (There are 5 in the whole map). The map only took a couple hours to make after having done all the little details (Make a computer be able to bound at the side, music and so on.)

Uh yeah I would too prefer dcs for it, my point was that this isn't the problem.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Symmetry -- :wob:

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?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 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
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
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.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
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:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
