I know how to make buildings spawn units as long as they're alive (make the building a units and so on) but I forgot how to enable that you can give these buildings rally points when you're playing Like I know how to spawn Units in a Region but i want to have the possibility to start the game and then rally the units to wherever I want Thanks in advance  You could make a trigger that issues an order to the building to ability command (rally) targeting point (point x) Spawned from a region, issue order to last created unit (order targeting point) (attack) | ||

I've done quite a few extension mods before, so I know all the basics and stuff. My question is, is there a variable (is that the right thing?) such as "Current HP", and can I use that variable in the damage section (either via the XML editor, or the other one) with some math? Or do I need to set the damage to Max Life / 10 and then create something custom the take away damage, as a reversed upgrade? I realise now, this might be more complicated than this thread is supposed to be, but I'll give it a shot. | ||

My map is like a little arena where every player starts with some buildings and a few units but there is not the Problem My Question is: How can I achieve that when the game detects that one player is controlled by AI, he get's kicked automaticalle and therefor all his units are destroyed - or even better - what do I have to set that these Units wont even get built when I start the Lobby with like 2/4 players so player 3 & 4 wont even exist in the game? Edit: One more question on the go: Somehow when I spawn Banelings they are not attacking - like - I can let them explode manually but I can't perform attack move (they are just on move command but they don't attack anything) - Anybody knows how to get them performing the attack-move? | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/5jj6mmn.jpg) On that map, if you remove the Protoss Tarmac doodad, you see right through the terrain. This looks cool because the Tarmac itself is transparent to some extent, so you can see what's beneath the ground (which is that rotating circles stuff). | ||

I realise now, this might be more complicated than this thread is supposed to be, but I'll give it a shot. Can't think of a way to do this in the data editor. You might be able to use XML but I couldn't say. What you could do instead is use a Trigger: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/pwG9vIB.png) What you will need to do is point every unit's Damage ability to a custom Damage Effect and set that to 1. (In this case I used Zergling claws) Then use another Effect to apply the 10% damage using the trigger (In this case it's Drone spines). You'll need to set Drone spines damage = 0. If you want to retain the proper Death Animations, you'll need a separate trigger for each possible Death type (fire, decaptitation, etc). You'll need to decide how to treat a zealot's 2 attacks and an immortal's shields as well.

One way to approach this would be to set up a separate game Variant for 2, 3, and 4 player games. You could disallow AI players this way. This would be the cleanest. What I would probably do though is to place all the buildings you need via a trigger instead of just having them placed on the map. Use Points in the locations you want the buildings. Use a Condition to check if the player you are creating the building for is controlled by AI. This method also makes it easier to assign a variable to that structure at the start of the game and set up triggers affecting those buildings later.

You are commanding them to attack move not move command? You could try turning their autocast on. Alternately, create a behavior or trigger that checks for units in the vicinity and orders it to use it's explode ability. | ||

There are some terrain objects that make the ground transparent. Otherwise, you can go to the terrain object panel and select "hide terrain cells" to paint invisible terrain like a brush. | ||

Yes but I have some triggers depending on those buildings already and I don't think I can get those triggers working when I just build the Buildings after the game started | ||

I have quick question about melee maps in general and a couple about unbuildable terrain in particular. -Is there a post anywhere that tells you what you can and can't do if you want to get a map accepted to the ladder or premier tournaments? (mixing gold and standard minerals at an expansion / regions / rich vespene gas geysers all seem to be no-nos. Does it say this anywhere all official like?) -Are there any well known maps that use unbuildable terrain as a feature of the map? I've watched a fair bit of SC2 and never noticed it myself. -Is there a way to create terrain in a melee map so that creep tumours can't be built on it but creep can travel across it? I've tried using unbuildable doodads but they block creep completely. Ive used "no building" pathing but as soon as creep gets on it then creep tumours can be built there, even though other zerg buildings can't. | ||

Ive used "no building" pathing but as soon as creep gets on it then creep tumours can be built there, even though other zerg buildings can't. 1.) No, unfortunately. However, on the brighter side of things Blizzard only really seems to strictly enforce the resource rule. Everything else appears to be fair game, provided you have a good map and you're not doing too many custom game things (as long as the editor says your map type is 'Melee', you should be good to go). 2.) Only in very limited usage. For example, Daybreak used some unbuildable pathing behind the resources of the natural bases to prevent stuff like cannon/bunker abuse. 3.) I have no idea! Never really tried to do something like that. | ||

If you want creepable but no tumor placement, you can use some of the doodad bridges to achieve this effect out-of-the-box, so to speak. You can play with their visuals and pathing footprint, too, if you want to for example place multiples to create a larger area than just a standard bridge size. (Just up/downscaling the doodad size in the editor won't change their footprint size.) Incidentally you can't forcefield on bridges that cover level 0 terrain either. | ||

Been playing around and yes, this seems to be how it functions. Images below contain a small unbuildable path on normal terrain which allows creep AND CREEP TUMOURS but doesn't allow other buildings. There are also a bunch of unbuildable bricks around the area blocking all creep. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HyHJC4W.png) Screenshot from map editor showing unbuildable path (composite of two images for clarity) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CukrSG2.png) Ingame screenshot showing creep tumours built and about to build on the same unbuildable area ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KazLV0I.png) Ingame screenshot showing a spawning pool about to build on the same area | ||

However I have a new question though it's really just out of curiosity. I have found that creep tumours ignore "no build" pathing as long as there is creep present. So I'm wondering... Is it possible to have any space in a melee map where: -creep will spread -units can burrow -creep tumours can't be built SOLVED Was right in front of me the whole time. Doodads "Building Blocker" 4x4 and 1x1 both work. | ||
