Mr.Pete-Tong

Hi all

Ive seen glowing effects on units done in other maps, so i kinda want it in my own map if possibel. The effect must been done with eud triggers.

So my question is if any one knows the eud trigger for making (or knows how to find out the trigger real easy)

1 the Yggdrasil overlord to glow
2 the magellan vessel to glow
3 the terran dropship to glow
4 the mojo scout to glow

thx in advance.

This is done by using EUDs to change the drawing function for the images.dat entry of that unit. One of the drawing function options is "Hallucination" which will render the unit like a hallucination.

Mr.Pete-Tong

Do You know how the eud action trigger for the yggdrasil overlord would look Like i think the trigger is ds night remastered cause in that map an overlord look hallucinated, thats 1 of the trigger i want if i can. Other is the magellan vessel i want spawned with small rings around it, there must be an entri dat for that unit too seen that in eud single dungeon defence.

Or do You know how i can read the trigger for those maps or find the entri dat My self if not too hard

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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
[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.

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:
