You can't create any unit not placeable as a unit in staredit in starcraft.

So no doodads (doors, traps), no unused units (cargo ship), no special heroes (mengsk), resource powerups (mineral chunk), subunits (alan turret), and other misc stuff (larvae, addons, eggs).

What you can do is place the traps for P12, then give them to the player when they kill at least 60 units.

Edit: I just realized you said you can't create addons with triggers. You can.

They're immediately given to player 12 or something like that. The net result is that you can't place them for player 1.

Because they're not attached to a building, that's different than being unplaceable. The only issue with addons is that they can't be given to a player. The "create unit for player" works just fine, it's what happens shortly afterward that's the problem =P

Also, before you use a 'pre-placed' solution that involves moving floor traps: floor traps cannot be moved by "move unit" trigger action.

The ONLY way to move them is with arbiter recall. Thankfully you can use "AI cast recall here" script to control this how you want, however it takes ~14-15 death counts for the animation to play and you need an arbiter in the right spot etc, so it's not as clean as simply using "move unit" would be.



None.

I did not know you can move traps with Recall, useful information.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
