Dark Templar and Cerebrates
Does anyone know how the resurrection(without DTs) and permanent slaying(with DTs) of Zerg Cerebrates works in the official campaigns, specifically; what are the trigger conditions and actions used?

I highly recommend you download this at some point so you can look at the campaign maps yourself: Campaign Extraction Utility. Remember to put it in its own folder before you run it, since it will pull out alot of files.
These are the triggers (in text version), and a snapshot of the locations (stripped down to the important ones)

Yeah, Blizzard just basically checked to see if there was a Dark Templar around the Cerebrate, and if there was, it didn't respawn, but if there wasn't one around it, they respawned the Cerebrate.

Yeah this is basically what I did, except I just triggered invincibility and deactivation.

Thanks so much for the detailed info; this isn't as elegant as how I wrote the trigger, but I suppose it is more effective in some ways(such as lore).

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?[2026-5-31. : 6:47 pm]
