I need help with map making.

How do you make a broodling that doesn't die when it runs out of energy?
How do you make recall not work on a certain location?

Edit: Reaver/Carrier Auto build scarabs/interceptors?

[Aqo]

For the broodlings, just create them with the 'create unit' action, they will last forever.
For the Recall, use different players with the same color.

Kabam is back O_o

Sorry, just had to say that.

Erm...Broodling doesn't work when I do that.
As for Recall...Is it possible to make recall not work on your units?

Is that good or bad? ;)

[LegacyWeapon]

Did you do Create Broodling with Properties or just the regular Create? You need to do the regular Create.

[Kabam]

CreateUnit(1, Armored Melee Beast, Red Base, CurrentPlayer);
........................^(Broodling)^

Thats the trigger I use.

[Aqo]

Well, to test I just made a a map myself with a create-broodling trigger, and the broodling didn't die.
My best guess is that maybe you modified the broodling's energy which might've caused it to die.

As for the recall, the spell will always work the way it's supposed to, so your best option is to use different players for the arbiter and units being recalled.
Since as I see you use human players... no, there's no way to make the recall not work; unless you have only 1 unit of every type for each player (or less) on the map, in which case you can make triggers that cause a location to follow every unit, and if the unit is not on the location move it there.

[MidnightGladius]

If you have a trigger modifying the health of the Broodling, it'll cause the timer to start ticking. Tick tick tick tick DIE.

Eh, my guess is that he meant that you're one of the 'non reading FAQ (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=7391) fellas', Kabam... :poke: *Wink, wink*

[Kabam]

Ahahaha, thats funny, because i did read the FAQ on it and it said to do the same thing u guys are saying to do. Whic is wierd 'cause it is not working. -_-

So, :P on you.

How about Reaver/Carrier Auto Build (Scarabs and Interceptors)...How can I do that?

[MidnightGladius]

You would use the Modify Hanger Count (or something like that) action, and then set the number to how many scarabs/interceptors/nukes you want each reaver/carrier/silo to have.

Seriously, you ought to have checked out the FAQ, because it has both the broodling and hanger count trigs in there.

[Kabam]

I DID check the FAQ I even checked it again after he said that

Than I assume that reading (carefully) isn't one of your greatest assets, right? :shiftyl:

Funny, my test map a long time ago with those triggers (read change hangar count) did work fine n' dandy at the time... :devil:

[LordOfNukes]

to how many scarabs/interceptors/nukes you want each reaver/carrier/silo to have.It doesn't work with Nuclear Silos. It only works with Reavers and Carriers.

[MidnightGladius]

It doesn't? I was under the impression that it did.

When I said FAQ, I meant the Staredit Trigger FAQ :/

[JarquaFelmu]

Carrier and Scarab do a MAX HANGER COUNT condition, and then assign it to a special location that either A) follows the unit or B) is a 'any area' type thing then stick a 'Always' for the action and then a 'Preserve Trigger' in the conditions.

As far as the broodling goes i've heard that if you set it's energy to 0 when it's created then it won't die.

[Sikawtic]

do... create unit with properties. then don't check anything.

the broodling will not die.

Try using SCXE and see if it works than ;)

[T.empla.R]

Use an AI dont know which one but there might be one...
Nevermind already answered ,yeah it does work with SCXE

[Sikawtic]

You tried:

CreateUnitWithProperties(1, Zerg Broodling, location, CurrentPlayer, 0);

???
