I'm just a little curious, I've tried it before anyways. But I want to know why some sprites such as building rubble disappear quickly. They only exist on the map for like 5 seconds then completely fade away. Is there any possible way to stop this?



None.

since no one has posted yet ill give a shot at it. if sprites can be made with triggers, you could keep making and removing it, i guess. but the hell do i know?



None.

Certain sprites can, not all, and I think it's just the rock one. I don't think you can stop a sprite from disappearing.



None.

Lol, you mean a certain sprite can be created, it's just that some sprites are normally simply animation sprites, so they just play their animation and go, others are permanent, so they stick around.



None.

I was referring to TartarusMkII's post about trigger created sprites.



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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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