Do you how that? Units always move forward in every direction so how do you mod it so a unit can also move backwards. Or are all SC units kangaroos?

Simply change the iscript. In the walking animation, detect which way the unit is facing and have the graphic turn all the way around.
So, does that apply to all directions like say for example, a unit facing forward will move backwards but if its facing down it will go backwards also?
None.

In the walking animation, play the correct set of frames, and then turn it 180 degrees (I forget the number needed) without a wait in between. This should make the unit look like its walking backwards.
Well, I have an opposite problem. I have a unit that spins or flies backwards when it shouldnt. This results in a crash. I didnt write anything in the iscript that makes it fly backwards. It just does! Ive tried many solutions (yes, its the avenger problem) and none work at all.

Air units usually use the flingy settings... so maybe its your turn radius. I can't really tell...

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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[04:26 am]
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?[04:25 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[06:15 pm]
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.[03:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[03:43 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
