Warping In....

Im having trouble with the fact that Protoss buildings warp in, I mean that time between the end of the building process and the finished building...

It seems strange but it seems that Move Location can detect and move locations on warping in buildings yet no other action or condition can interact with buildings that are in the process of warping in. This is causing problems with my Tower D map, when a player builds two building in rapid succession. When the first is done, if the second is closer to the location that centers to preform the switch to a tower, the location will center on the unfinished second tower but because it isn't done, the rest of the triggers will not operate on it....

Help?

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

buildings in "warping in" are only detectable in the actions.

so you should detect if that building exists in the location after centering.

Trigger Owners: p1 - p8 (everyone who has that building)
1. commands/brings "that building" to anywhere -> center location on it
2. brings none of "that building" into the location -> give "that building" to another player like p11 (copy that trigger as often as there could be that building warping in)
3. brings "that building" into the location -> do your actions (warping in was already finished)
4. always -> give all that building owned by p11 to current player (gives the buildings back to the users)

the location should not be bigger than the building. You will lose the selection ingame of the buildings which are warping in and stand more left that the finished building.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

NudeRaider shouted: Symmetry I can't tell if it's relevant. You provided literally no context so I was providing an equally generic answer.
