I've never used it because i'm on mac but i'm sure many mapmakers would use it! Not sure a poll will strengthen your resolve? peeps on tl lurk and use stuff but don't vote/post much... It is hard coding and if you can do it you will applauded for sure for your efforts.. but i'm sad to say i think few people will "help" (i hope i'm wrong mind you  ) ; previous coders of the "analyzer" will help you coz you know they did it too  good luck!

I'd like debris towers near respective spawning points on a map to only be able to be attacked by the players spawned in those points (so the towers near spawn 1 can only be attacked by the player who spawns in spawn 1, same for the other spawns). If possible, how would this be accomplished while maintaining random spawn positions? | ||

If possible, how would this be accomplished while maintaining random spawn positions? Sorry i waited to see if anyone would answer :/ i'm sure it is possible via triggers, but i'm personally very bad with "random player" settings or the "detect what is on the map" triggers .. so i couldn't just type it for you out right, sorry. For a unit to be invulnerable accept for the player that spawns near it (like a destructible rock that when destroyed would open up a path) : i would make two units with identical models placed at the same place then make the player X see the destructible unit and player Y (the other player spawning elsewhere) not see it, player Y would see the other invulnerable unit underneath. If player X destroys the unit, the other unit disappears too. The first set up would be a start trigger (happening right after the initial map initialization trigger) and would set those units and their vision at the start right after the random spawn mechanic has done its job, like 0.1 seconds after spawn occurs. So at the start you would suppress vision of the player of all destructible units that are not near his spawn and suppress vision of the invulnerable units that is connected for the player that spawned near it. Then you would make a trigger for each destructible unit, so that when it is destroyed the invulnerable unit underneath disappears and the path is hence opened. This is if i didn't find a way to make it work with just one unit and make it target-able only by the proper player.  If you want the reverse effect (a tower that when destroyed will block the layout) than apply this logic to the tower units you will have placed. gl | ||

If you don't care about it being melee, I would suggest either: A. setting alliance status using player options and variants, then give the collapsible tower to a player that's allied with the player on the other side of the map. This would mean fixed spawns though. Would also probably require data editing the rock tower a bit. B. create a trigger that makes a Region and moves that region to each start location at game time .1 seconds, and sets player and unit variables which check which start location is close to which collapsible towers. You could then use the Any Unit is Attacked --> Prevent all Damage done trigger Action to keep a given player from damaging a given rock tower. Its inelegant however because they could still attack it, they just couldn't damage it. Alternately, use the location method to set alliance statuses. + Show Spoiler + C. it may also be possible using validators, but I can only think of a way to do that which involves applying a validator to basically every offensive ability in the game. | ||

The pathing feature has been built into the editor now, and the other main feature was openness calculation. It seems debatable whether openness is even worth looking at now. I made the poll because I thought it would be easier than spamming 'no' if it's really past its use. I think it would be pretty nice to have exact measurements on things easily viewable for everyone. Also knowing the main size was a pretty awesome feature. One can figure out in the editor within a reasonable margin of error what the main size is, but again having this information displayed together with all the other stuff in a single image is pretty sweet. Idk if it's worth your trouble, we are "making it" without it and there aren't a ton of mapmakers these days, so realistically you'd be making it for like 6-10 people lol. (although not exactly true since other people and Blizzard sometimes check the map threads out) I wouldn't complain either way, was nice having it while we did  | ||

I'll be trying out some of those ideas after going through a triggers tutorial. | ||

Edit: nvm, the textures are new but i remembered that Rock-The-Cabinet recently finished. So the textures are for a new co-op map. | ||

I intend to stay in SC2, but my question, precisely, is: can I learn something useful for SC2 by playing SCR? | ||

Speaking of SC:R, i was hoping they'd add some improvements to the editor, but alas... | ||

So i was playing remastered SC1 recently and was playing the UMS maps because that was always my favorite part of starcraft. I started wondering what UMS is like for SC2 these days and tried to find some info online but only came across these old threads: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/128968-a-day-in-the-life-of-an-sc2-ums-creator http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-maps/139745-the-real-problem-with-sc2-custom-maps Does anyone know if blizzard has fixed the problems with battlenet 2.0 and custom maps? Or is it still really hard or next to impossible to play any map but the 50 most popular and impossible to find diverse, interesting and creative content for SC2? I'd like to buy SC2 but only if the UMS issues have been fixed because I don't actually enjoy the melee/competitive aspect as much. | ||

If you want to make destructible rocks block line of sight (or any other unit for that matter), give it a custom footprint. Use one of the Block LOS footprints as a reference. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/jlJn2Op.png) | ||

Then the new patch might brake it and you will be able to fix or not. The next patches might never bother your mod at all. It all depends on what they "fix" / change, sometimes their changes supersede what you did/do in the editor. You should do it, if you come into trouble then you will cross that bridge then. | ||
