Im working on a map thats going to have a really strange money system. The player is able to mine minerals but they are only good for exchanging to gas or to build more mineral miners. I'm making it so when the player wnats to exchange their minerals for gas, they move a civ to a beacon and pending on their minerals, they will get a certain amount of gas, sorta.

Let me show you the triggers.

My problem with this is it wont create a gas canister. Is there any way for me to change it so it will. I don't want to make it directly add the gas to their resource count.

None.

You will have to preplace them, only units that can be placed in normal Staredit can be created via triggers, gas canisters are extended units, you can move them, but you can't create them.

None.

dang, oh well.

None.

...but you can create the Power Ups:

Data Disc, Young Chrysalis, Psi Emitter and the 3 Crystals.

Maybe you just find another word for gas and a different name for the Crystals and you are good.

You can call it "Borazon" for example. :-)

None.

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.

not the map, the editor

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
