I'm trying to see if a spotted trigger can be implemented, I don't think it's possible for right when a guard sees you for more to come running/appear, so I thought every time you kill a guard, it would generate 3 more around the current player. Each player would have their own location centered on him/her. I also wanted to see if it would be possible to have guards patrol a certain area, and if they are killed they re-spawn after x amount of seconds, would that be possible, and if so how could it be implemented.
I had another map, it would be a type of map were you get rushed by a bunch of units, and if you survive then the whole map is replaced by a bound, and as you progress it gets harder, any thoughts if it would be good or not?

Ummm, UMS theories? But I think you can make guards respawn by having a location in their patrol area and have the conditions for the respawning trigger be, "Player X brings exactly 0 'Guards' to 'Patrol Area'" and have the actions say, "Wait 'X' seconds" then "Create '1' 'guard' at 'Patrol Area'.

I don't know if it'll still work if you put preserve in because then whenever there's 0 guards at the patrol area, then it'll keep restarting the trigger. So it'll keep restarting the wait. Try it.

No that won't work...unless there was another trigger for the guards area. There would have to be x locations, 2 for the start/end patrol points, and one that was for the guard, it would have to be a big location, and if the guard left it (died) then he would re-spawn..But that would be useless if I wanted more than 1 guard in an area (which I do). I would have to find a way around that but I don't know how. Also any ideas on the "spotted" trigger? It would be hard to do because...if it was preserved, after you killed someone, guards would keep coming, and I wouldn't want it to happen for certain units that die by the player (bosses).

This is for maps in production, right? Or am I wrong, either case, it can always be moved/deleted and I'll just repost, it's just a few questions, and yeah, I'd post the map but not right now, because it's still "in production", which is why I'm asking the questions, but I think you're right this is in the wrong forum. So if I'm right and your right then I'm sorry, and if I'm wrong, then well that's cool too, just trying to get some answers that's all.

Actually, delete this thread, I reposted in UMS Map Making Assistance.

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?
[04:25 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
[06:15 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.

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:
