To force a unit to unborrow cant you just tell it to move to the location it is in? Therefore if it is hotkeyed it would stay hotkeyed
Yes... It was already stated many times o_O

Yes. You make the unit for a player that has burrow researched, and when it's made have a create property that creates them burrowed. Then you give it to a player that doesn't have burrow researched. The only way to un-burrow it, then, is to give it back to the original player with burrow researched, or order the unit via triggers.

Yes. You also could force only computers to move by using AI Scripts (Humans are non-responsive to AI Scripts, save for the visions, and maybe a few others.)

I think that human players only respond to those (vision scripts), junk yard dog, enter/exit transport, and enter closest bunker.

Yes but what about a lurker? I am trying to make it so a computer cannot unburrow a lurker.

Dont stress if you cant figure out a way, I just thought of something that will completly get rid of the problem.

...Use the methods I told you? It should work on every Zerg unit that can burrow.

Computers always have the ability to unburrow, whether or not you disable it, you can constantly move the lurker back to its position and that should hold it, however, this will also make it hard to hit with attacks.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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:

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