Same happens after the zeals have been warped in. I deduce from this that as soon as you have a free "slot" from the maximum of what you have allotted (say, 16 in case you have 16 WGs), the WGs start building up the cooldown immediately. And here's the main point: it wouldn't make sense (not to me at least) to just show one of the WG's cooldown when having 16 of them selected, now would it? It does make sense. Thats how it works for spellcasters in WC3. If you select 12 mortar teams and you cast flare. You click flare and then click on the map, The game selects one of the mortar teams (out of your 12) and uses that mortar team to cast flare. Now the flare icon doesn't go into CD because you have 11 other mortar teams that can still cast flare. When you use all 12 polymorphs, the skill that is closest to cooling down is the one that is displayed. In this same style, when the player selects 16 gateways and clicks to deploy a zealot, it selects one of the gateways and deploys the unit, this continues until all 16 are deployed, and then you are shown the cooldown for the most cooldowned gateway. Don't think of warpgates as "always producing a unit." Instead think that its a building that can instantly produce any unit, and that unit produced affects how long the cooldown on the warpgate is before it can produce another unit (this idea was already mentioned) the 20% I agree. This sounds most reasonable. If you select 2 gates one with zealot recharged but not stalker and the other gate with both recharged I wonder what happend if you warp in a zeal. Do you think it automaticly will use the gate that cant make a stalker or just take a random gate able to summon it? it would choose the warpgate that cant build a stalker. The game will have internalized priority. Its not hard to program. On May 31 2007 11:43 DrainX wrote: What are you talking about?

Saying something like that only shows you dont understand a thing about the new system. | ||

You have to micro a rine and medic really hard for 2 minutes minimum, then keep the medic alive for at least 9 months in your base, then build a daycare center, school etc, and finally you'll be able to recruit one 18 years later in a barrack! THANK GOD Molyneux doesn't produce this game! | ||

Warp In Picture This: You're playing as the Protoss, and one of your resource bases on the other side of the map comes under attack. Your gateway, the Protoss barracks, at the besieged base is destroyed. For old-school Protoss players, the battle would already be over. But that's becuase they didn't have warp-in tech, a new upgrade for your barracks that will allow them to build a unit anywhere on the map within the range of a power pylon or phase prism. [There'll be a limit of one unit per gateway at a time and a cooldown period before you can use warp-in again.] It's a handy ability that will instantly set strategists' minds running wild with possibilities, but it will have its drawbacks -the unit will gradually materialize jus like a Protoss building and be completely defenseless unit finished. And, if your power pylon is destroyed midway through warp-in, your unfinished unit will be lost. From this post on b.net forums | ||
