I need to know how to make a Power Plant which, of course, is destructible and neutral.

For those who need an example of what I'm talking about, you can find 2 power plants in each base of the map Andromeda 1.0

Can anyone help me? =(

Also, is there any way, in melee, for me to force players to spawn at specific points, not points at random?

SCMDraft, sprites -> unit sprites. Unit sprites turn into units when used in melee. Make sure it belongs to Player 12.

In forces, uncheck random start locations and move extra players to another force.

Aww, I have to use SCMDraft? not saying its bad, it just means I have to download another tool...


and in terms of forces: Doesn't that only affect it when using Use Map Settings, not melee? or am I missign something?

Yes that's only UMS, but you have to do the same thing if making an observer-compatible melee map.

How can you not have SCMDraft? It's literally the tool for mapping. StarForge should be wiped from your HDD.

To make things easier set your grid to 32x32 and offset by (16, 16), and check "sprites snap to grid". Then your power plants won't be placed off-tile.

I use the Campaign Editor which came with starcraft. My bad >.>

Thanks for letting me know about the whole use map settings thing.

I guess I'll get SCMDraft then, and thank you for all the help!

No, if you use unit sprites owned by Player 12, then it will show up in melee mode.

He's talking about moving players to specific forces.
