2 computers fighting

Ok this is hard to explain. I have a map where 2 computers fight eachother, one on the left and one on the right and they meet in the middle and fight. My problem is sometimes the right side acts glitch, like it doesn't attack. I have both sides set eachother to enemy and random suicide missions on preserve trigger.

Here is the map, you'll have to play it to see what I'm talking about. I hope someone can help, \ I really want to finish this map because I think it has some potiential.

Any help is appreciated as always, thanks.

BTW this isn't a map jack, my battle.net name is Ashlee-Simpson :)

Aeon of Strife map I assume?

no, it's a UMS game type map, it's different. You spawn units and try to push their side and take out the spawner.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

everything works like it should (in my opinion).
but I guess you want to have another effect with the suicide script. it should be more fluid, or?

Atm, all units will stop moving forward, if the computer killed an enemy (their random suicide script target) and they will continue moving when the next trigger cycle starts (script runs again).

How can you make a fluid usage of that script:
1. hypertriggers to increase the reaction time
2. run the script when new orders for the units are needed:
-run the script when an enemy unit died (easiest solution would be to run the script again, if the computer has kill score or razings and reset that score value)
-run the script after a unit spawned to make it attack
-run the script in intervals to repair loss of orders during blocking (not needed with your spawn system)

note that if you run the script all the time using hypertriggers only units with fast attack animations will attack.

Ah, yeah I just changed it from suicide mission to
Always
Order all men at anywhere to patrol to the opposite side, works like a charm.

Thanks!

New question though, sometimes when units are being made the game will just crash. I don't know what is causing this, I gave the units sufficient build time. Any ideas?

What units are being made, and what is their build time.



None.

Zerglings seem to crash, and the build time is 20 in SCM Draft2



None.

Hmm, it may be because they're Zerg, since the Zerg creation has that animation for their creation, try raising the build time a bit and see if that fixes it.

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.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

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

Symmetry 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.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
