Hey I'm trying to change the Place COP spell to have range restriction (you can place it anywhere visible) and be usable more then once. I messed around with orders dat a bit and that didn't really do anything. I'm wondering if anyone can give me some modding assistance with this.



None.

I believe what you are trying to do is impossible. However, if you'd like, I could write you a plugin to create a similar effect.

(Let me guess, you're trying to make Stalkers have a Blink ability, amirite?)



None.

we really need a plugin or exe edit for that...
I also wanted to use it once, but as a teleportable bunker/drop pod



None.

I've always wondered, what exactly is Place COP for? It has something to do with the Capture the Flag gametype, right?



None.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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