Ok i have a trigger like this in my map.

Trigger
Players

  • Player 1
  • Conditions

  • Current player brings at least 1 shopper to 'increase income''
  • Current player accumalates at least 200 ore
  • Actions

  • Modify resources for current player: subtract 200 ore
  • Create 1 'income' at 'p1 income' for current player
  • Move 1 shopper for current player at 'increase income1' to 'shop1'
  • Preserve trigger
  • Comment: +Income



  • For some reason it doesnt create the unit, or income, at the location. It does everything else just fine but it wont create the unit. The area its suppose to creat the unit at is 2x9 high dirt, the unit is a Terran Vespin Crate. Do I need to make it 3x9? Heres an example of the area.

    I don't know what a "Terran Vespine Crate" is but some units cannot be created by triggers.

    If everything else in the trigger works, you got no wait in it and there's no unplaceable warning its most probably one of these units.
    Try replacing the unit by a marine to test it. If it works look for some other unit you can use.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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