I couldn't find the answers to these problems anywhere on your site, or at any of the provided links. So if it's there, don't yell at me; I tried.

Is there a way to EXCLUDE a unit from a condition. I want the condition to affect all men within location X, but not affect probes. I did it by hand (every single unit) and it bugged out when it saved and lost some of the info. I'm trying to save time.

Also, I wonder if you can share control\psi\supply between two people on the same team, such that you can't exceed the standard 200 across both players, and player 1's control won't go down if a trigger were to switch control of a unit from him to player 2.

No, I'm afraid there isn't.

There is no way to do this without being creative and requiring a lot of work. You would have to count all the supply modifiers in the playing field for each of the 2 players (pylons, hatcheries, supply depots, overlords etc) and mirror create that for the other in some off playing field corner. Then you'd also have to count every possible unit type that the players can have, add up the supply cost they would add up to be for each player, and mirror that supply usage off the board in units to take up that psi for each. You'd have to have triggers checking this continually and every time a difference is found between the players make the appropriate changes.

Like I said, quite a bit of work.



None.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

you can either move the probes away, then back, or do it for every single one.

You can create a virtual supply via minerals/gas. It would be difficult to detect when building something (though you can detect mineral loss, and cancel the construction) if you are over supply, and remove that unit. Either way, it's hard. If you're interested, it's possible.
