I was wondering what the smallest possible non-crashable map size is. I'm almost certain there's a way to make a map that covers only the screen and won't crash. Dimensions/details on that?

In addition, for my upcoming map Descent of Heaven, I'm trying to use an idea I've had for a while for a spell system. I remember reading a while back about someone who managed "dual-wielding" by stacking sprites or something so that two stacked units could attack. Details?



None.

64x64 is the smallest regular size. If you want irregular sizes you have to play a regular map first after each restart of starcraft or you will crash.

You place a disabled sprite unit in the editor and then run these actions on it to make it a full unit:

Doodad state enable
disable
enable
enable
order to move

I'm not sure if you can skip one of the doodad state toggling, but it should work that way.
During this process you may not have vision of the unit or you'll crash. Many units crash even without vision.
After that the unit is a regular unit without a collision box.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
