The weird thing is that sometimes units can spawn at unlikely distances from the production building and sometimes there's just a "building exit blocked" message even though there is a valid spawn space pretty close by…

EDIT: Under further investigation it turns out that you cannot spawn units into non-connected (in other words: island to each other) regions this way.
Luckily there are workarounds around such puny limitations >:D

The real question is can a DT do this?

Eye roll... Terrans...

The point IS exactly that... Terrans dont need to do fancy things because their units AND buildings are already made to do those things better...

For the record you CAN block the spawn point if you know where it is as well... On some maps its a few spawn locations.
The smartest counter is to kill one of the blocking probes downstairs. That way the goon spawns down, sometimes trapped or the unit is lost because all spawn points are blocked...

i think they changed that in RM.
I know some examples from my earliest BW days when i just build marines around my rax till i got the error with the spawn points. But doing the same stuff now just spawns the marine in second line.
Might have been patched in 2001 or 2. It has been awhile since i tried the "trick" before RM came out.

You can still lose a unit if Building exit is blocked.

And this still happens in SCR. I give you the fat blimp example below...

SCR looks shiny but it doesnt change core things in BW (which is good).



Happens to ground units with terrible building placement:



And to loop it back to my thread in this case as well:



Of course none of this is of any concern in normal play...

I was imagining you thinking at some point the post is irrelevant and now u have converted to the believer side... I gotta assure everyone this has been tested vs real E and D ranks! While you may say every strategy can work at that level I say that is correct this strategy is fun and makes games weird kek

No, was doing my own tests and was gonna make an addition but my findings werent interesting enough.

I did find out this only works on cliffs that can be accessed from the current layer. IE it doesnt work on cliffs at Lost Temple as there is no ramp.

Also that its doable facing north with a slight modification necessary.
