I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

give them to player 12 (neutral).
-> they will not burrow, if unburrowed.
-> they will not unburrow, if burrowed.
-> they will not attack
-> they will not move

Nevermind on that last note, the spider mines must be owned by a Player that is set to neutral.

Armor: 90.50%

I'm not sure about this: Place multiple Spider Mines and have them find a target. I don't think they displace each other, so they'll continually follow their target without moving. The downsides are that they're always animating and making the walking noise, and that they'll blow up if their target moves to them.

In order for a spider mine to stay unburrowed, the spider mine must be owned by Player 12. You have to preplace it in the map editor, or else it won't stay unburrowed. If you use a trigger such as "Give all Spider Mine owned by Force 1 to Player 12", the spider mine will burrow anyways. It is teh uber gay. >:O
Haha, thats the exact opposite answer someone gave on the same topic at maplantis. I must admit I don't know this detail for sure. The best is you just experiment what works best.
One thing works for sure though: They unburrow for a defeated player.

ok, I tested it....

1. giving spider mines from a player to p12: they will burrow.... :S
2. preplaced mines owned by p12 will burrow.... :S

the solution:
3. spider mines owned by a player who is not human or computer, he is neutral, will not burrow...

Well I tested the spider mine stuff with player "Neutral" :P

I didn't know that if they were pre placed for Player 12 they would still burrow, though.




None.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
