Hi there,

I'm currently working on "STALKERena". I'm now at designing the power-ups system. I have tried many things for both of these systems, though all failed.
Here is the map. I have commented a bit the power-ups effects, though all I really want to know is how the hell I can get it to work properly. :(

Also, I have an AI trigger that triggers itself only when a unit stops being idle... the problem is that all units start as non-idle since they haven't done any action yet. What I've tried to do is to order all units to blink once at a random point at the start of the map, but somehow it won't work. O.o

Thanks for help in advance! :awesome:

Anyone? :(

EDIT: Oh well, I fixed my problem using centered regions, but I'm still quite sure there's a more efficient way to do this. Why wasn't the "Unit enters range of unit" event working? :O

"Unit enters range of unit" seems to require a pre-placed unit as one of the arguments (IIRC). It's pretty unit specific.

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.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
