Let me show you how to hump without making love.

Now I have seen it before in several maps, where queens automatically infest low health Command Centers. For some reason, they won't do it in my map. Any answers? Yes, I know what health a CC needs to be at and Queens infest regardless if the ability is researched/click-able or not... So what the hell?



None.

Well what is the player configuration for the owner of the queen and CC?



None.

Although AI queens can use the ability regardless of it's research state, they may not be able to use it if it is Disabled. You've probably already checked that, though, so just saying.



None.

The Queen is an enemy computer of the other computer who is also an enemy of the Queen. I tried configurations of giving the CC and/or Queen to human players or different computers. No luck.

And yeah, the ability is completely usable.

Maybe if you aggravate it, it'll infest the CC? Although, that'd probably make the Queen ensare the units or spawn broodlings, so I'm not sure...

Is the computer of the Zerg race? Ivaguely remember this being significant for some AI casting.

EDIT
Heh "Infest Terran Command Center

This ability is used by the Zerg Queen and Matriarch (hero Queen). No energy is required by default.
When a Terran Command Center is severely damaged, the Queen may infest it, taking control of it and turning it into an Infested Terran Command Center.
Infested Command Centers can train Infested Terran, a suicide unit that does 500 explosive splash damage.

Computer Use
Have a Queen near a Command Center that has at most of 45% of its HP remaining. Order the Queen to patrol over the Command Center, as an idle queen may not infest it.
A Queen can infest a Command Center even if it's hallucinated and/or lifted off."
From the wiki.

Give the computer a melee AI, order the queen to the CC and it should do it automatically.

This helped me realize I should have been patroling it. Herp derp.

Thanks.

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
