Hi,
1. Can I create Psi Field using triggers?
2. Can I move existing Psi Field using trigggers?
3. Do the answers to questions above apply to all sprites?
4. (This question of a different category) Can you please explane how to make a unit blind for controlled amount of time using Medics and their Oprical Flares?

Regards Xman :D



None.

1). There is a way to trick computer-owned high templars into casting psi storm, I think it has to do with having enough energy/being attacked.
2). Don't think so, but try making a quick test map and use the action like "Move all psi storm for all players at anywhere to Location X"
3). Sorta.
4). Medics will blind units that attack them with over 81 hp. To unblind, you'd need another medic to restore them, or remove/recreate the unit.

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

1. No
2. No
3. Yes (pure sprites that is. unit sprites converted to a unit, using the enable, disable, enable trick act as normal units.)
4. There's no way other than tricking a computer to use the spells in the right moment on the right unit. Shooting medics encourages them to use spells. Moving both the medic and the target unit to a secluded area for the duration of the spellcasting ensures the spell is cast on the right unit.

Thank you very much for help and :(. I had a super great idea with the Psi Field. Also I forgot about one more question. I downloaded the Single Player map called "5th Station". People say that it is a good map, but at the very begining I can't even move. Here's link to it http://www.staredit.net/?file=949&load=comments&s= . I even left there a comment, asking for help, but it will take a long time before somebody will give the answer over there.

So to make the main character move in the "5th Station" map?

Regards Xman :crazy:

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.

not the map, the editor

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

NudeRaider shouted: Symmetry I can't tell if it's relevant. You provided literally no context so I was providing an equally generic answer.
