Will I need to change around triggers that generate units, or will switching the dependencies automatically account for that [ie: in triggers, HotS unit is automatically replaced with LotV unit, after dependency switch]?

Is there a way to make bridges path-able underneath them? If you go into the editor and you create 3rd tier cliff with bridges with a 1st tier cliff underneath you would think units would be able to pass under but the bridge itself makes it an unpath-able unit except when walking across the top of it.

No. You could do something like that using triggering but it would be messy. There is no way to do it natively.

Well basically yeah my aim is to introduce this to 1v1 play.
I posted this to the editor suggestions on the bnet forums, I don't think this will be read by them.
Thought for Improvement, Allow bridges to be destructible,retractable and Path-able underneath.
With LOTV unique fast paced game-play I think adding unique map features such as bridges being destructible/retractable would create unique melee maps that rocks can do and cannot do. This is directly aimed for the map making community for melee maps, to add creative, unique maps to evolve the meta. This direct impact for the map making community would also directly affect the playing community.
For example if bridges were destructible/retractable you could force island game-play for permanent or limited time. Or depending on how the map is constructed you could force opponents to talk alternative routes to attack by retracting or destructible bridges.
The other thought (which can be combined with destructible/retractable for melee maps) is be able to pass under a bridge. Similar to the first idea, being able to create dynamic pathing/game-play, having 3rd tier cliffs with bridges for an overpass and having a 1st tier cliff for a valley with possibility for bases within.
Ultimately the idea is to help improve the map making in general and to help create more dynamic game-play. Please consider this seriously.
I think the most effective way to point this out to blizzard is to make a custom 1v1 maps with only bridge pathing being altered.

What is a bridge for you? What advantages? to which player? Should it remain just access (or denied access) to a pathway or should it also allow extra gameplay (stationing units on it / under it)? An sc2 bridge to bridge combat map with "x" bridges, what layout would make it work? (do spam drawings in response)

Is there a reason everyone makes Unbuildable Rocks (Destructible) at the main ramp instead of Unbuildable Rocks? This has been bugging me for a while. Every streamer I watch says they hate them and always destroy them whenever they have the time because they don't want to mis-click on them during a fight. Why aren't we just making them unclickable?

Hi, im trying to make an extension mod and need a few tips:
I'm trying to rejig the stalker so that blink costs 80 shields but also causes it to immediately regen, how would I approach this?

For the regen part, I'll assume you mean regen health.
This is a little tricky, because you can't just add a healer effect or a modify unit effect to the Blink Ability. The reason is because this is a Effect - Target type ability, so any effects applied will be applied to the targeted point, and you want to heal the unit, not the point the ability is targeting.
Luckily, we can get around this by going into the Stalker (Blink) - Teleport Effect and adding a new effect to the field Teleport Effect. I would just create a new Modify Unit effect and add 80 to Effect: Vitals: Life. (you could copy the transfusion effect also or try playing with a Create Healer effect)
There are other ways to do this, for example, using a trigger to heal the stalker, or you could get fancy with a string of Set effects that does a series of effects upon the Stalker using it's Blink ability. You also might want to add an Actor for the healing, take a look at Blink Stop Model and it's associated Events under the teleport effect.

Favorite fish = fish 7 blue= Can you not make the area of effect so small it will only affect the stalker? green= Agreed that is the way to do it 
Sure, you could probably use a set effect and then a create persistent to apply a new effect or a behavior or whatever, but this way is a bit cleaner. There is no way for a Effect - Target to target a unit though if the player is selecting a point as the command location for the ability. you will need some kind of search area / create persistent in between.

Probably a noob question, but is there a quick way to see what is keeping your map from being 'Melee' rather than 'Custom'?

Thanks for the reply, will be using that overview manager tip. :-)

Hey, it's not exactly map related but it's the closest I could find.
I'm trying to open the replay.game.events file of a sc2replay (it's a WoL one if it matters). However I'm complete shit at python and any similar stuff, so much that I couldn't follow the few tutorials that I found online. Could anyone explain to me the easiest way to do that in a way that anyone could understand?
Thanks a lot.
