Detecting killers
Is there a way to detect which unit killed a unit? Preferably without EUDs.
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.
in general cases: NO!
if you have only 1 unit per player: yes (killscore)
At least u can say that it was a unit inside the longest weapon range ingame around the killed unit (unit is in a location or location system on the killed unit).

Without EUDs? No. Kills are player based.
You could try and set up a system that detects death of a unit and then checks the units that are nearby. But that would be obviously very inaccurate.
With EUDs? Probably not. The only thing I can think of that is detectable is the kills counter going up when it killed a unit. Don't know if that is detectable via EUDs. If it is you had to combine it with deaths detection which has a percentage chance of failing.

well there is a way, but that pretty much depends on your map structure, i have a very complicated concept that might work yes without EUDS

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
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?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 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[2026-6-20. : 6:15 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.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 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
