Ok so I played firefighters before and I like the idea of how your unit gets slow if it carries too much water so I'd like to know how to recreate that.



None.

:payne:

Repeatedly move a burrowed unit under its feet.
Don't forget to use Hyper Triggers.

Adding to what payne said, control the number of times a burrowed unit gets moved under your unit. The more often you move the burrowed unit, the slower your hero will get.

Is there a limit to how much the unit's speed is affected? Additionally, would a Defiler do anything different than a Zergling if burrowed and moved under a unit?

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

If one or more units are moved under (burrowed) or above (flying) a unit it will not move for that frame. Hyper triggers only fire every other turn, so the max slowdown is 50%

Yes, there is a limit because triggers can only fire so fast. If you move the burrowed unit every trigger loop, that's the slowest you can make the unit move. If you want it to be scalable, use a death counter to only have it occur once every X trigger loops, like Jaff was saying.

It doesn't matter which burrowed unit you use. Air units and power-ups technically work as well.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
