alright, if you look at some of my other posts im currently working on a bound and a defence. (wich i hope to god i will finish) but anyway, i need to find a way to detect walling. i know the super ancient map "Pick Your Defence" has it.. but im not sure how to do it. if you have any ideas, suggestions, slaps in the face, i will accept them. thanks :D

I actually just opened up one of the "Choose Your D" maps and it used the Move order, like I said in the other post.

oh, i didnt read the other post srry... but you said use the "Move" order? i got a question.. is the computer unallied? im worried that the priority of the units will be set to attacking rather then reaching the destination

If you use the Move order they will try to get there, and ignore any attacks, but if something gets in their way to the point that they no longer think they can get through, they will stop the Move order and begin to attack. So to answer your first question, yes, they are unallied.

Walling Detection

This map uses burrowed Vulture Spider Mines and gives them to a player going down the path. When it detects when a units over top of the mine, it dose a 180o and goes back up untill it hits the end of the top of the path. When this happens it does another 180o and goes back down. It keeps on repeating this process untill it can make it all the way down to the other side of the path. If It cant make it to the other side then you have a wall. :) *Slaps midget_man_66* :lol:

It doesn't work when your the units blocking aren't the units attacking, for say, if units are out of reach, or you're blocking by pylons.

Another wall detection method, just in case someone needs it:

I once saw a really simple method of wall detection, at the beginning of each level the map would send a large unit(an ultralisk, in this case) and check to make sure it reached the end eventually, if it didn't reach the end after a certain time, some units were killed as a penalty, of course, this doesn't work too well in maps where you have units you can move around to block them.

Using this last method I posted you can even trace the whole wall and kill it selectively :P

Oh_Man -- have i ever told u guys my SC2 pro-gamer story

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
