Just a quick Idea, i was thinking about EUDs, and wouldn't it be possible to read like.. Player 1's name, and then use it in a text message in game to make it seem like he is saying something???
Might be good for a comedic part of a map or something... or maybe to create difficulty in an Impossible???

You'd run out of strings.

So you cant like... convert it into a variable somehow? Like the character value into custom scores, kills, resources and what not??
Use that to type it in kinda thing?????

If you can find a way to add two strings together, that'd be awesome, but it's not possible. Try this trigger, and you might see the problem...

Conditions:
Always
Actions:
Display text "A"
Display text "P"
Display text "P"
Display text "L"
Display text "E"
Preserve Trigger

That pretty much sums up why a variable system won't work, unless there is a way to get the letters to print on the same line...

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[04:25 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:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
