That is how Goliaths and Siege Tanks normally behave, I think you can edit a turret's degree of freedom somehow but I don't know where. It should be editable because the Goliath has less freedom than the Tank.

Very interesting, though I'm not sure if it can be fixed. One method would be to give the viking's GRP to the base unit rather than the turret unit, and make the turrent unit transparent. Another would be to scrap the siege mode/tank mode altogether in favor of another unit-to-unit conversion method.
By the way, how did you make the extra 10th button? Does it involve FireGraft or something else entirely?

Another would be to scrap the siege mode/tank mode altogether in favor of another unit-to-unit conversion method. -> can't cancel unit train (factory)
that's not extra button, just binedit editing. anyway, thanks for your answer.
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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?

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.

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

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