There are UI scripts for using things like Nuke or Recall, however these don't cover every single ability usable in-game. Are there particular methods to making templars specifically cast storm in one specific spot? From what I understand, as long as the templar has one target to attack, it's not within it's own range, and it has enough energy, it will use storm on the specific target.

Basically, I wanted to know if any of you have had any problems in this area and if there are any particular guidelines or tricks to doing this.



None.

In the wiki for Getting Computers to Use Spells, or Spells(Protoss) for you, it tells you the only way to get it to work, and not even that is perfect, there is no actual AI(AI = Artificial Intelligence, UI = User Interface) script that you can use to MAKE them cast Psionic Storm.



None.

Alright, here's a good little trick to perform. Is it possible to make a unit(Firebat)not attack any units around it, without changing alliances and still be able to move the firebat around normally or with using the Order trigger? Assuming that the firebat is actually being attacked by multiple vincible targets, uncloaked and actually damageable.

The only method I can think of is to have a hypertrigger Move Order that will have him stuck to a specific moving location.

I realize I'm going off-topic on my own thread, but I don't want to start too many threads now do I?



None.

Well, I can't think of any way to make it, without alliances, so that the units attacking it would be able to attack it properly, all the ways I know of would either cause them to miss continually, or keep losing their target. Do you want one of those?



None.

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

You pretty much answered the question yourself. Move order and hypers is all you can do with these requirements.
Maybe you should replace the firebat with a non-combat unit like the civilian.

About abilities of units, you can trick the computer in using them, which might be a little tricky sometimes (wiki tells you how) but there's no way to order a unit to cast a spell (except those 3 that have AIs for it).

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
