As I understand, are your pylon frames supposed to be a turning feature?

Maybe the problem is that you have selected the "Graphic Turns" option in the images.dat entry of the pylon. Try deselecting it.

If not, in the images.dat, select the "Graphic Turns" option and in the script, use 19 times the "turncwise 1" opcode, one per frame (with the wait between them). That should work fine. If not, in the pylon's flingy.dat entry, change the "Turn Type" option from "0" to "127".

None.

What are you trying to do, and what's not working? DETALEZ PLZ.

None.

I was experimenting with something with the terran command center, and saw that when it was staying still that I could make it do something else and play another image. So I tried it out and every second it went to almost build command center then back. so I was like "cool". but then I thought I could do the same with my pylon like I saw in those videos of Starcraft 2. So instead of 1 image showing, I wanted it to spin like this:

What's not working?

Make sure you didn't break your GRP like I did once...

Oh, you might want to post the entire iscript for your Pylon.

None.

Mar 6 2009, 8:52 pm thunderaga Post #6

well it warps in and then it crashes

None.

Then that's probably something else breaking. Maybe you forgot to save the modified GRP, or saved it incorrectly.

None.

Mar 6 2009, 9:19 pm thunderaga Post #8

but I think I did all the GRP's right by replacing every frame, could it be the shadow or the code?

None.

How many frames does your grp have?

Biophysicist Post #10

It COULD be the shadow, take it out and see what happens.

Also, what's the Pylon saved as in the mpq? "unit\protoss\pylon.grp"?

And what K_K said.

None.

yes of course I did that right! when I left the pylon code with the original, it showed... just didn't play the other frames (of course)

None.

ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO

Play the individual frames only and not the whole framesets and tell us if that worked.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]

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.

[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]

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:

[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]

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

[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]

Oh_Man -- artosis dropped pretty interesting vid: https://youtu.be/EqZHB8Blra4
