I got a message when working on triggers:

"You have created the maximum number of units with properties possible. You will not be able to create any additional units until you delete old ones."

what does this mean? is it saying that I made too many triggers?



None.

Well considering it said units with properties? Not sure why properties would matter however in SCXE you'll only be able to place 1650 units so if you have that many units then your SOL unless you get scmdraft or starforge which should allow you the max of 1700 that the game can support. However this will not be helpful if you've used 1650 thus far.

What kind of map are you making? Unless it's an RPG there really shouldnt be a problem with this many units. And if you are making an RPG I suggest you make a spawn system so when the enemies in an area get low you can create more so you don't run out but your not maxing out the units in your map.

You can only have 64(?) different Create Unit With Properties actions within your triggers. This is a hard limit that cannot be broken.



None.

oh ok thanks, some of the ones that i had with properties were just me being lazy and copying ones that actually needed them



None.

If you're using the same set of properties for a lot of units, you can use StarForge or SCMD2 to have multiple creation triggers use the same property slot.

Or, you can just create the units and use other triggers to apply properties for you. This means properties will essentially only be needed for Cloaked, Burrowed, Hallucinated, etc, units. Other trigger actions can modify HP %, Shield %, Energy %, Invincibility, Hangar Count, etc.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

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

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:
