Hey Guys. I`m making a mod and everything works well. Then i tryed to give a Grenade as Spell to the Marines. But always if i press the button, nothing happens. What`s wrong? Is it in the Iscript?



None.

Your description is far too vague for us to help. There is many things that could go wrong.

So, I have the technology "unknown 33" of the academy, and then to the Marine.
Now I do not know how I should make that it is a Grenade-Spell.
Can someone help me ?
(I`m sorry but my PC has an Internet problem and i`m using another PC)

I'm not familiar with using Unknown Tech to make new tech, though from what I remember there are challenges behind it. In fact, I'm not even sure how you would associate an Iscript entry to the tech. To eliminate that as a possibility, I suggest modifying Yamato as your Grenade spell, give it to the Marine, and see what happens. Make sure you're doing all your basics correctly before you mess with Unknowns.

You should use unknown technology as a requirement for a unit or a button set only. I don't think anyone has any idea what those techs actually do or whether they have anything associated with them in the game. I have used them as requirements for both units and button sets and they appear to work fine. .. hopefully they didn't actually DO anything to any of my units tho! :)

Maybe you'll discover another use for these unknowns.

Ok, thanks for the help I will use with the Yamato cannon as it when I'm back home. But is it not so that the effect of the Techs are changeable?
THX for help

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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:
