If the unit has over 81 hp and the medic is aggravated, it will blind an enemy unit. Best way to do this is to use a DT so that the medic doesn't have vision and then instead blinds the nearest enemy unit, which would be the scourge in this case. And this only works for computer-owned medics, obviously.

It could be a bit difficult as the scourge can't directly attack the medic. Check out the wiki article on it: http://www.staredit.net/starcraft/Spells_(Terran)#Optical_Flare

From what I remember, you want the medic to be attacked by the unit it's blinding. But of course scourge can't attack ground units.

I've done it by using DTs that the medic doesn't have vision to.

Would this work if the medics belonged to player 11 ? I kinda forgot the boundaries of 11



None.

No, because players 9-12 don't have vision of themselves, so they can't see anything on the map. The only thing you can do with those units is order them to move to different locations.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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