- Doodads are no longer affected by the MOVE UNIT trigger action.
None.
Patch 1.03
Cartography Artisan
my best guess is that it was inconsistant to have a different type of object move via a "move unit" action - it's just another way blizzard restricts our creative abilities.

Probably part of some short-sighted CPU/memory optimization.
None.

I would go as far as to say it was an unintentional effect, and (maybe because mapmakers complained "wtf my trees keep moving around") they decided to fix the issue in the patch, much like they "fixed" things such as EUD actions.

There's a difference between fixing something because of potential hacks (EUDs) and fixing something because of unintentional effects, though.
None.

Well, we could go through some "CAN YOU DO 25 TRICKS? / CAN YOU DO REAL TRICKS?" bug fixes, but those are game mechanics that broke melee. I feel like it all comes down to fixing things that weren't originally intended to exist in SC. It makes me wonder why Blizzard still allows us to do things like disable doodad states of units.

"Doodads" probably refers to floor traps, wall traps, and doors since those are units.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
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?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 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[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
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.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
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
