Hi, is it possible to center a location on a scanner sweep created by the terran comsat add-on?
I know its possible to detect a scanner sweep with the condition "Player X Commands at least 1 Scanner Sweep at Anywhere" and such... but center location always centers on the middle of the map :(



None.

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

You can only detect that the player has a scanner sweep used as a detector. But that is not very accurate.
So I would suggest to say: It's possible, but you should think about a "no".

The best you can do is to set up a grid of Observers belonging to a computer, and when the Sweep goes off, give it to a player you know will not be allied with the computer who controls the the observers. Then create a bunch of Scourge and figure out where there are not Observers belonging to the computer.



None.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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.

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:
