I have finally found a way to make it so u can stack hydras. I have a game I made that has the stacking in it. Here are instructions on how to stack.

1. burrow all hydras into a hole (one hole) then move the drone up (Not the drone by the mins) And un-borrow the hydras should not try to move away. although they do stack you cannot move the hydras from place to place. how it works is, when the drone is up on a location, there is a trigger that tries to move all hydras from the area to a space location where they cannot get to. there fore they cannot move when they r stacked.



Here is the file:

I also have a good stacking map. Btw your way causes them to sometimes not attack.

urs is slightly wierd i dont see how u could ever use that in a defense game and the reason my guys wont attk some times is because u need to hold position and try not to put to many hydras in one area. they freeze just like cannons.

Actually they don't attack because they are constantly moved.

We could have done this before.. The only reason people liked the stacking hydras in older maps is because they had a pretty glitch they knew how to do.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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