What is the difference between beacons and flag beacons? What can you do actually with both of them?
Flag beacons will spawn a flag after 10 minutes into the game, they also have an option called Place COP. Which means you can teleport the flag to anywhere on the map that you have vision and is walkable. Place COP is disabled after 10 minutes into the game, Even if you remove the flag it will still be unable to teleport.
Beacons can serve many purposes, Mostly just graphical. Some people like to use them as pads to buy units in things like defenses. Some people like to cloak or disable them so they only show the lights and nothing else or are unclickable.

None.
Ok and is there some purpose to transporting a flag?
None.
The whole thing was used for 'Capture the flag' mode or something.
None.
It moves the flag beacon, not the flag. You can detect this and use it for selection systems and stuff. For example, in an arena map you could tell the players to Place COP where they want their character to start.

Can you prevent the flag from appearing? So it seems like a normal beacon.
None.
If you place a disabled sprite of it, for Terran and Zerg Flag Beacons, this disabled their flag creation and their place COP ability.
None.
That is a disabled unit sprite?
None.

Yup, you can also just constantly remove the flags, but then you still have the COP problem.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.[06:26 am]
NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.[06:25 am]
NudeRaider -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: Ohhh imagine a SC map that could delete itself
not the map, the editor[02:28 am]
Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology[08:51 pm]
NudeRaider -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.[2026-7-15. : 4:10 am]
Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier[2026-7-15. : 2:19 am]
Symmetry -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Symmetry I can't tell if it's relevant. You provided literally no context so I was providing an equally generic answer.
