Questions Regarding Hallucinations

Two quick questions in regards to Hallucinations:

1. When you kill a Hallucination, does your kill score increase? If so, is it by the value of the normal unit, or a set value for all Hallucinations?

2. Do Hallucinations set off triggers? If I have a trigger. "Player 1 brings at least 1 Zlot to Location 7" Would a hallucination set this trigger off? I'm hoping it wouldn't, but I don't know.

Thanks in advance.



None.

I can't remember #1, but I think it's a no.

and for 2. No, the only way to detect them is to detect not detecting them(if that makes sense).



None.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Hallucinations are no real units, so you don't get kills score and you cannot detect them in conditions (so no, the trigger would not run).

However, they are affected by actions, such as move unit, modify hp or center location.

No that doesn't make sense if you don't explain it. :P

What Falk means is you use the property i mentioned that you can center locations on them. In a 2nd trigger you check if there's the unit you just centered on (bring). If bring says there's no unit, you know it's a hallucination (or there was nothing to center on, e.g. there's neither a unit nor a hallucination).

So you can use center location on a hallucination unit, but you can't detect the hallucination unit in a location?

Any other things in how hallucination units act different than regular units?



None.

NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
