Have the banner(s) in an area w/ beacons, and when they bring a banner to the beacon, set a DC for the respective player.
Then for that force, make a trig if current player has 1 death of DC, end scenario in defeat.

e.g.

Players: banner(s)
C:
player brings banner to P2 beacon

A:
set deaths of DC to 1 for P2


Players: Force 1
C:
player has suffered at least 1 death of DC

A:
kill all units owned by current player (optional)
end scenario in defeat for current player

Or you could use switches, but then you would need to make a separate defeat trigger for each player.
Killing units for banning also works.

Even better if you can give a computer player an extended colour and place enough flags to cover a screen at an area you can set a trigger that centers their view permanently on them with a displaytext that says "Solve the puzzle" most people will be dumb enough to select one of them and crash. Note that this should only be used for banning smacktards and aholes lol. Just make sure that normal players cant see the flags.

Or you can simplify into one trigger, avoiding death counters and switches altogether...

Players: Person being banned
C:
Banning player brings banner to P2 beacon
A:
Kill all units owned by current player (optional)
End scenario in defeat for current player

Or you can center their view on a crashing unit AND end their game in defeat! TEH ULTIMATE BAN!



None.

Yeah, and an annoying 45 second wait for everyone else after someone crashes. I'd stay away from the crashing methods.



None.

Fine, it kills their units, ends game in defeat, then 30 seconds later centers their screen to a crashing unit(for stay-alive hacks)



None.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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
