I guess it doesn't work because Player 1 is human.
Most AI Scripts only function for computer players.

there is no such crazyness (which is spelled craziness) part in the AI scripts.



None.

Craziness was the location name.
And yeah, scripts such as junkyard dog don't work for human players.

:payne:

I have a question about that script :
If I set a trigger wich runs it constantly at a certain place for a certain unit of a certain computer player and when that unit gets off the location, I have an other trigger wich give it an order to go back to the location.
Why do, once it get back into the AI location, the script doesn't run anymore? :S

There's a way to Kind of do Junkyard Dog (crazyness) for Human players...
U can just have like .. multiple locations around the map...
Hyper Trigger

Randomize triggers.. make it so that it orders human units to move to the locations around the map... but it's randomize so it'll move randomly.. like Junkyard dog

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
