Wanna to submit a map. A simple concept of making totally impassable walls: http://webfile.ru/1906960
Simply try to fly through the imagineable wall on the left and see what happens.

Ya, sorry about that. I can't really update it because my computer is being retarded and can't download anything from the SEN Database, so I guess you guys have to get links to other file-hosting sites. Sorry for any inconveniences.

Blah, I have far too many concept maps lying around...but none of them are labeled, some of them have been used for multiple purposes, many of them have been partially disassembled to allow for future experimentation, and all the best are part of the way through the transition to being actual maps. Maybe if I get bored, though...

I have a concept but no map...
too lazy to make one.
EDIT: it's actually really only an aesthetic that makes something look more realistic.

I never said I was lazy, I said my computer can't download from the SEN Database, so I need the files from a file-hosting site.

Two more test maps:

Bring or Command Test
This map shows how Bring and Command take time to update, and how Bring updates slightly faster than command, to show how they update, build like 5 marines at the beginning, then move the civilian to either the Command or Bring beacon, the marines should transfer for more minerals, rather than 5, since it detects 5 marines, adds 5 minerals, then gives them away, then since it has not updated yet, it detects 4, gives you 4 minerals, and attempts to give 4 more units, even though there are none, and so on.

Binary Count-Off Unit Transfer
This map almost completely defies the map above, except that it shows a technique that I discovered a little while ago. It transfers units by using Binary Count-Offs, which according to the above map is not possible, since it will not update in time. But I found that when you create a unit via triggers, the Bring and Command conditions are updated, so in this map I simply create and remove a unit after giving away units, updating the Bring and Command conditions, so I can now transfer tons of units at once and record how many have been transfered, Move Unit and Remove Unit can also be used to update the conditions.

Enjoy :P

This isn't a concept. It's just a test map demonstrating how specific conditions function. Bring is "updated" instantly during the trigger cycle and command is updated at the end.

There's more examples of this such as killing vs removing a unit. There's also removing all of a unit vs removing all of a transport unit or something like that, but I know it has to do with transports, shuttles, overlords, dropships, bunkers.

One, he did not say it required concepts, which is why I asked at the beginning. And if that isn't enough:

You may use Concept or test maps you already have.
Second, Bring is not updated instantly, try out the first map and you will see that it takes around 1 trigger loop for Bring to update, and about 2 for Command.

You might as well make a test map "testing" every condition and action.

No, because the first map tests a condition problem that many mappers never figure out for the longest time, and it shows exactly what is going on. Obviously I am not going to submit a map showing how every action and condition works, I only made one map showing a strange quirk that can really cause problems in maps.

AfterLifeLochie -- If we were to create a peice of code that creates an index, we could then assign a label to each 'area' it finds. Unfortunatley, I see what you mean: this would be impractical.
