What is a transmission? What does it do exactly?



None.

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

A Transmission:
1. shows a speaking portrait of the unit
2. it plays a wav
3. it displays text as long as the wav is or as long as you set it to play
4. it creates a blinking circle around the unit in the location, if it exists
5. it creates a minimap ping on the location where the unit is inside the location, if it exists in that location
6. it acts like a wait (creates wait blocks) - the rest of the actions will run when the transmission is over
7. you can cancel transmissions with the escape button in singleplayer

What annoys me is that you can't have a transmission without a wav.



None.

Answer: A silent .wav.



None.

Yeah, there's some virtual sounds that are completely silent, I often use those, although I usually don't use waits due to their wait blocking problem. I just do everything that they do, minus the wait.



None.

Cheathunter, seriously, try to check other sources before asking for help. If you can test it by yourself, do not ask the question. Staredit's help file has the explaination of what each of the trigger actions and conditions do. Stop making new topics about simple questions like this one because you might get them closed.

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
