I have played many games that have really cool triggers, but I can't seem to figure out how to make them.
1-[ Speed Trigger : Make the games speed increase ]
2-[ Frozen Explosion : A rapidly repeated explosion ]
2-[ CPU AI : Computers that mine minerals, make units, and raid bases ]
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
1: NEVER TRIED
2: I tried a repeated explosion, but it always takes too long for the next explosion.
3: I have fiddled with the AI a bit, but can't figure it out.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Please help me

Just here for the activity... well not really

1-[ Speed Trigger : Make the games speed increase ]

This is impossible to do as a trigger, but can be done.
HOWEVER, it can only be done at the very start of the game, and it is permanent: you can't un-speed up the game.

  3. Try AI scripts such as "Area Town". Make sure the location is spread over the area the base will be at and that there are sufficient minerals.

I think by "2-[ UNSOLVED : No p15 ]" you were referring to one. If you're using SCMDraft (if you have a brain you are) then type in "Player 15" into the box that has the current player in it, then place a unit for it and it should be for player 15.

EDIT: Like so.

*facepalm* Yes I was thinking about nuber one :lol: and I didn't know you could type it in, ok, I will edit it from UNSALVED to PENDING.

3: Set a player as a computer, and make sure to set his race to what you want it to be. Place a location above the computer's start location, and have a trigger owned by the computer run this action once:

Run AI Script At Location 'Expansion (race) Campaign Insane' at 'Start location'

Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I suppose there's something to that

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless
[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]
Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value
[2024-5-06. : 5:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Ultraviolet -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD

Vrael -- that is insane
[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]
Vrael -- damn is that all EUD effects?

Oh_Man -- https://youtu.be/MHOZptE-_-c are yall seeing this map? it's insane
