Center View triggers seems to be broken?

So I have tried this one 2 maps and both times it would constantly activate my center view trigger over and over even without a preserve trigger command.

The trigger I have is literally:
Triggername
Players

  • Player 1
  • Conditions

  • Switch 02 is Set
  • Actions

  • Center view on location labeled [Base] P1


  • Once switch 2 is set, it forces center view to activate in a never ending loop.

    Am I the only one with this issue? Why is it happening? How do I get it to stop?



    None.

    It's possible the preserve trigger flag is set (by Chkdraft/a compressor/a protector), you can open your triggers in Chkdraft and check:

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ probably still worth a shot, you can also tab over to actions, I dunno for sure how other editors do things but they might hide subsequent actions if one inbetween is blank, Chkdraft will always show all.

    If you need more specific help please PM or post the map.

    Here is the map. http://www.mediafire.com/file/zoy4t8emw2idzo8/Coop_Infestation.scx

    I just use the classic trigger editor inside of SCMDraft 2.

    I removed the center view trigger but I get this same issue with another trigger as well. Under Player 8, its the very first trigger labeled as "Randomized Computer Race"

    If you run the map and black sheep wall, there should only exist terran units or protoss units, but none exist. If I change the trigger from:
    Randomize Computer Race
    Players

  • Player 8
  • Conditions

  • Always
  • Actions

  • Randomize Switch 01


  • To:
    Randomize Computer Race
    Players

  • Player 8
  • Conditions

  • Switch 100 is Cleared
  • Actions

  • Randomize Switch 01
  • Set Switch 100


  • Then it works and 1 race exists at the start of the map.

    Maybe 1.18 is just that broken right now?



    None.

    On closer inspection I guess they were preserved, but they shouldnt of been.

    but, now my issue is with the player 8 trigger which is in fact isnt preserved.

    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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
    [04:25 am]
    Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

    Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

    NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

    NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

    Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic

    Oh_Man -- artosis dropped pretty interesting vid: https://youtu.be/EqZHB8Blra4
