Well, As the title states, I have a test map (in which i'm incorperating into a real map) That uses an interceptor to lay down a track (Defilers)
This track is then used to create a pulling effect that will gradually (but quickly) pull the vulture.

The problem is that it's buggy, especially with the detecting of units... It works sometimes, sometimes not. You'll see. You're given an observer to see the tracks, if you think you know what goes on.

What am I doing wrong? How do I fix it?

Nope. I deleted them all, and it still is really messed up.
I mean, sure, Sometimes it works, but i need it to work every time.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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:
