Carriers and Reavers (and the hero Carrier and Reaver) are the only ones that can do so through a queue; you need to set up the button and reqs in Firegraft as normal, and also give the Carrier or Reaver an IsWorking animation in iscript. The problem with this is that the unit will appear wherever the Carrier/Reaver was when it started training.

Alternatively, it is possible, if you have the latest EXE update list, to make Spawn Broodlings create units normally. Not much I can say without knowing how much you know and exactly you want to do.

Then you'll need to use the Carrier or Reaver, as I described, but there are issues with that, as I also described, so you'll need a low build time and/or to stop the Carrier/Reaver from moving while training somehow.

Why not another unit? Why it's must be carrier and reaver?



None.

It just does. The Carrier and Reaver, and their heroes, can build units like that; no other mobile unit can.

Does it matter if the unit trained is air/ground? also, if i tell it to train a ground unit over impasssable terrain, such as water, what happens?



None.

Either air or ground units can be trained. A ground unit trained over impassable terrain will flail to the nearest passable terrain, and then act normally.

When I so much as hover over the button it insantly crashes, why does that happen?

Probably *.TBL error.

So, the only problem with having a non-Carrier/Reaver build another unit is the lack of a queue?

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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.
[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 :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
