If this isn't possible does anyone have any suggestions to how i can make this map? I can make it so the player is a dropship and they you unload a unit and it autotargets, but i want the unit to be land based and so you can target.
Thanks.
None.
Is this possible?
Okay, so i'm making a CTF map in which you have a defiler and you dark swarm to shoot the enemy. When you dark swarm, interceptors come out and go to the dark swarm. However, is this possible as dark swarm are neutral units and when you dark swarm the computer does not know if it is yours or another player? Or am i wrong?

you can't tell who cast the dark swarm.
None.
Yeah i know, so is there any other alternative?
None.
Divide the map in multiple sections for each player.
Like players infiltrating a base from different spots.
However, it could reduce the fun. Other than that, I don't know.

Well it's team vs team so that wouldn't really work.
None.
Is it really important for you to detect who is fireing ?
None.
Yeah because when a dark swarm is created, interceptors would be moved to the defiler than ordered to the dark swarm. If the interceptors touch any enemy defilers, they lose health.
None.
Then think about another system.
Or make the defiler one of the possible weapons player could chose from.

None.
you can just make it so everyone loses health...it makes more sense and then you have to coordinate with your allies better
None.
ya its not that hard 
None.

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

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
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?
