I made a map where a nuetral dropship and a Science vessel need to spawn at a certain location and travel to the base. They do so repeatedly during the game.
The problem is that I want the dropship to spawn at about double the rate as the science vessel, but for some reason it takes forever to be created and the science vessel ends up being formed nearly four times as often.
Assistance would be wonderful.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

I guess you are experiencing wait blocks.
Unfortunetly, the old sc1 wiki doesn't work. Seems to be disabled to find a memory leak or something like that.

Ok, you need to avoid multiple waits for a player. A player can only "progress" 1 wait at once.
That's why your Dropship won't spawn properly.

Using Death Counter Timers should solve every problem for you. :)

I found a shortcut to solve my problems, but now I have a new issue.
How do I get the computer to use their burrowed hero zerglings?

Computers will not "use" heroes in the same way as normal units with AI Scripts or retaliation.

You must manually "Order" them.

Junk Yard Dog works on heroes though, it just doesn't make them do anything useful.

Ahli, the oldwiki works, but only if you enter articles using the links on category pages. The category pages, of course, are accessible from the dropdown on the wiki's upper-left corner.

Ultraviolet -- Inf, we've got a job for you. ASUS has been very naughty and we need our lil guy to go do their mom's to teach them if they fuck around, they gon' find out

UndeadStar -- I wonder if that's what happened to me. A returned product (screen) was "officially lost" for a while before being found and refunded. Maybe it would have remained "lost" if I didn't communicate?

NudeRaider -- PSA: ASUS apparently decided their RMA department needs to "become profitable" and for a while now outright tries to scam customers. They were called out on it a year ago, promised to change, but didn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pMrssIrKcY so my recommendation: Stop buying ASUS, and if you already have and need something RMA'd, make sure to not let them bully you into paying.
