Is there any way to order a computer to place the ai script? Im not talking about melee ai scripting, I need the mines placed with 100% repeatability. Is this possible with creating a custom ai script?

and no simply creating the mines with triggers will not suffice :}

ty in advance



None.

There is no way to tell them to place mines anywhere specific.

Ordering a vulture and creating a mine when it brings the Vulture somewhere is the best you'll get. But you don't want to hear that.

Trying to get them to lay spider mines is even less reliable than having them upgrade with AIs, so unless you want to mod your own AI, no.

well, if you think about it, a vulture laying a spidermine looks exactly like when you create a spidermine with triggers.
They both start out as above ground, and then burrows.
but yeah, you didn't want to hear that =P

Depending on how many vultured you have, you could center a location on it maybe and spawn one at the appropriate time, same end effect. Just a suggestion; I realize that may not be feasible.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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:
