I'm sure everyone has played the wonderful mod Ultimate Doom, where the Wraith fires 3 times.
I would like to do this, But am unsure of the codes in ICECC to make it happen.
If anyone could help me out with this
And one more thing, When you compile something in ICECC, is the text file supposed to stay there, or can you delete it?

A) You can emulate this with the "attackwith (insert attack here)", the number can be 1 or 2. 1 Being the standard "Ground attack", but it can be used for other purposes as well, and 2 is the standard Air attack. After this attack you should put in a delay of some sort.

B) I HIGHLY recommend you keep the text file there, it's a great backup and if you wish to give the mod more Iscripts you must select them all manually again.

Thanks for the air and ground attack tips, But I want to know how to make it shoot more than 2 bullets since datedit doesn't allow more than 2. Say like, 3 bullets per attack, ect.

Dungeon Master

Simply put more than one 'attack' opcode.

As I've said, the "attackwith" command is your best friend here.

attackwith 1
wait 1
nobrkcodeend
gotorepeatattk
goto BattlecruiserGndAttkToIdle

What this fragment of a script does is makes the battlecruiser use it's attack 4 times (careful, these attacks stack if you don't use Attack Target 3x3 in Datedit), wait for 1 tick (StarCraft's iscript time), then attack again, wait, then attack again. The nobrkcodestart/end commands will force the unit to complete the whole script before moving again.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
