While working on a newer project i discovered a minor glitch that allows a flag (owned by player 12) to share vision with the human players. The odd part about is, only the flag allows the shared vision.

How this happend:
I had just started the first triggers for my map, the basic run ai at location being junkyard.
This was the ONLY triggers in the map.

Player 6 had scv's roaming throughout the city, when they pick up the player12 flag the scv who picked it up shares vision with the human players. I'll attach the map as proof, please note that this is a map i'm working on so yeah....

P.S if the scv doesn't get close enough to the flag to pick it up re-host the map until one of then runs across it randomly.



None.

Hello

O rly?? I think this is known by anyone... you don't need to post it ^^ maybe there's an entry in the wiki.
Anyway... can someone tell me the EUD to "set PLAYER UNIT vision with PLAYER"
so for example p2 can see a special scv from p1... that must be possible... because Parasite has the same effect :)
by the way... when you parasited a SCV, and a medic blinds that SCV, does the parasite still exist? or does the parasit-player see only a small range of the SCV? [like it's blinded]
sorry, I'm too lazy to test at the moment (also too busy)



Please report errors in the Staredit.Network forum.

I tested the blind parasited unit and it shows the blinded view.



None.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

I seem to recall in stacked cannon d 5 way, you would stack while still being able to see by picking up a flag and turning off the lights. the probe/scv holding the flag can still see, while everything else is off. I nver knew p12 exhibited similar properties.

That's the reason why Cat and Mice maps that give a fawk about what the hell they are have a trigger that kills/removes P12 flags.



None.

You just put a P12 flag and a worker picks it up and the player controlling the worker has vision to the flag? Or is there more to it?



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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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:
