Play WAV("sound\\Protoss\\Witness\\PWiPss00.WAV", 3877);
Is it the duration of that audio file in miliseconds?
What happens if I change the number to be greater or less than the duration, will it stop short?
None.

What is the integer argument to the playWAV trigger?
What is the integer in this TrigEdit trigger for playing a wav sound?
Play WAV("sound\\Protoss\\Witness\\PWiPss00.WAV", 3877);
Is it the duration of that audio file in miliseconds?
What happens if I change the number to be greater or less than the duration, will it stop short?

I don't know why you have a 2nd argument for that action in the 1st place tbh. PlayWAV only takes 1 argument, the filename.
Code
function PlayWAV(WAVName)
WAVName = ParseString(WAVName)
return Action(0, 0, WAVName, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0, 4)
end
WAVName = ParseString(WAVName)
return Action(0, 0, WAVName, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0, 4)
end

It's a duration, I don't know the exact mechanics but I know the purpose is to have WAVs play more accurately when their length cannot be auto-determined; you're best off setting it to the duration, in game seconds, of the WAV.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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[04:26 am]
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[06:15 pm]
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.[03:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[03:43 pm]
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
