they still can auto aquire a target. but they try to follow some units (e.g. dark archon). didn't I show you my sstarcraft maul defense? my towers are units which are immobile.

In Random Quest RPG I had a spell that immobilized opponents around you, and the units wouldn't fire at you until you attacked them.

...What...how do you detect what player cast the scanner sweep...

If given to a normal player, they no longer wander randomly, of course, that resets when given back :P

Critters owned by a human player do wander around randomly.

Falkoner, critters will move around no matter what player owns them.

When created for a human player, yes, but if you give them they stop moving, I've been making maps for years, I know most of the SC tricks.

(You can use Command to detect it)

I think that is pretty dang cool btw.

Sucks that to be even remotely precise you have to have like 200 observers tho.

Wait a minute.. Scanner Sweep can be removed via triggers, perhaps you could run through the map with a mobile grid or something, removing at that location, and after the removal checking to see if they still command one. If they don't have it anymore, it must have been at that location! Brilliant!

Madroc, command dosen't detect where it is though...and why aren't you on msn?



None.

Aug 20 2008, 12:27 am Falkoner Post #29



Didn't you read what he said? he explained how it works, it's all based off of detection, although I like my method much better :)

Falkoner your a genius. This could be a substitute for FRAGS.
Edit: Is it owned by p12 or a player who casts it?
Edit: It's for the player who casts it! I'll make a test map.

Orly? Haha thanks. That's why my map didn't work...

Wow. That's much better than my idea, and I'll work on implementing it.

Grrr... It seems you can only do remove all action not the remove at location.

Dang :( Lazy Blizzard :P

Looks like it's going to be me designing the uber Detection system. I actually have it all planned out, just need to put together a proof-of-concept map and fix the problems with detectors. (In particular, Photon Cannons and Spore Colonies are annoying, as is the Science Vessel I plan on having in the map.)

Ah, that was it, I forgot exactly what it was.

Wait a minute wouldn't this slow down all the ground units in the map since there are locations being centered on them all the time?

Aug 20 2008, 5:48 pm Biophysicist Post #39



But it turns out that you can't, in fact, Remove Scanner Sweep at Location. So moot point.

A: Only when a scanner sweep is detected
B: Centering locations doesn't slow down units, moving units on top of other units slows them down

Brusilov -- Hey, what happened to EUDDB? Is there a mirror for it somewhere? Need to do a little research.

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
