Hi,
1. Can I create Psi Field using triggers?
2. Can I move existing Psi Field using trigggers?
3. Do the answers to questions above apply to all sprites?
4. (This question of a different category) Can you please explane how to make a unit blind for controlled amount of time using Medics and their Oprical Flares?

Regards Xman :D



None.

1). There is a way to trick computer-owned high templars into casting psi storm, I think it has to do with having enough energy/being attacked.
2). Don't think so, but try making a quick test map and use the action like "Move all psi storm for all players at anywhere to Location X"
3). Sorta.
4). Medics will blind units that attack them with over 81 hp. To unblind, you'd need another medic to restore them, or remove/recreate the unit.

1. No
2. No
3. Yes (pure sprites that is. unit sprites converted to a unit, using the enable, disable, enable trick act as normal units.)
4. There's no way other than tricking a computer to use the spells in the right moment on the right unit. Shooting medics encourages them to use spells. Moving both the medic and the target unit to a secluded area for the duration of the spellcasting ensures the spell is cast on the right unit.

Thank you very much for help and :(. I had a super great idea with the Psi Field. Also I forgot about one more question. I downloaded the Single Player map called "5th Station". People say that it is a good map, but at the very begining I can't even move. Here's link to it http://www.staredit.net/?file=949&load=comments&s= . I even left there a comment, asking for help, but it will take a long time before somebody will give the answer over there.

So to make the main character move in the "5th Station" map?

Regards Xman :crazy:

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

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.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
[04:14 pm]
Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
[03:44 pm]
Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it

Vrael -- 240*12 is 2880, where is the other 3000 APM?
