Are there any maps that have experimented with this? Not that have seen any kind of real competitive use. There have been quite a few over time that toyed with this idea. It's hard to use it effectively because much of the time rocks are just as good if not better. To use the forcefield you need a really small choke. Or you have to make a duplicate unit in the data editor to use a larger one and at that point you're just messing with stuff and might as well make whatever you want. The other thing is that protoss get colossus anyway so they have a much easier time opening forcefield blocks (if they want to) than terran or zerg who have to deviate from normal compositions or wait til lategame. | ||

It would have to be pretty out of the way so that unit pathing wasn't terribly affected. | ||

 I was only imagining for photo shoots mind you (and horrible early GOM production -_-") but I wondered just because you see so many shots of progamers (Or maybe just the rich ones) with seemingly perfect, + Show Spoiler +suspiciously Is it just that they're using skin lotions/products/etc. (and if so, which ones? ) and they don't eat anything with much sugar?If there is a particular thread I should be lead to, link away! | ||

I go to map textures and I can get to cliff types, but I can't figure out how to add one to my Terrain type. was afraid that wasn't going to cut it, this is the best explanation I could find. just like textures there should be a field just like that for cliffs. On July 13 2013 04:52 Coppermantis wrote: Once you're in the data editor, look for a field that says "textures - blend +". To the right of it you should see a list of textures (e.g., "Tyrador Marble Tiles|Tyrador Square bricks"). Click on the list and change out textures. That only changes the tile set data itself, so you then have to go to map>map textures to actually set those as useable in the editor by swapping the textures out in the same way you did in the data editor. if you have problems navigating to the editor, search for a video guide for swapping out textures, it works practically the same but a different field in the editor. | ||

Is there a way to resize a unit with an effect or behaviour? I'd specifically like to change the Movement: Radius Movement: Inner Radius attributes of a unit by usage of an ability. | ||
