Ive never ran into this problem before, But On my recent map, I cant get the Computer to Share vision with me, Ive tried Like:
Trigger("Player 8"){
Conditions:
Always();

Actions:
Run AI Script("+Vi0");
Run AI Script("+Vi2");
Run AI Script("+Vi3");
Run AI Script("+Vi4");
Run AI Script("+Vi5");
Preserve Trigger();
}
But it just doesnt give vision :/, Any tips?

I can never remember which way that AI script goes, but you probably have it backwards. Turn on shared vision with player 8 by running a trigger for each of the other players; right now I think you are allowing player 8 to see your units.

Ah, I guess I just got mixed up when making it :P, Thanks ^^

Also you don't need to preserve it, it won't ever turn it off on it's own.

Then just run share vision both ways; remember, each AI script is a one-way affair.

Another Question, I want a Ghost to be able to Perma Cloak, And be able to Shoot Lock Down, But I don't want It to be able to Spam Lockdown, How could I do this?

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Make a trigger for the whole force and enable vision for each of the players in that force.
To prevent manual unvisioning just preserve this trigger and always run it.

Add a trigger that always maxes out the ghost's energy. Unfortunately, there's no way that I know of to alter an ability's cool down, so I don't know how you'd deal with the lockdown spam.

Yeah, That's as far as I got, So there's no way to stop the ghost from Spamming it, With Perma Cloak?

Make the lockdown cost 150 energy.
Make a trigger that sets the ghosts energy to 250 every minute.

Play around with the yellow values to fit best into your map.
Just make sure the interval is small enough so the ghost doesn't lose all of his energy until the next refresh when the player has used his lockown.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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 :lol:
