Scanner Sweep

[MidnightGladius]

Is it possible to tell the AI to Scanner Sweep a location? And if so, how?

Also, can you detect a cloaked unit with triggers?

Well scanner sweping is easy just use
Create units at location for player ...
(Scannersweep in x-tra editor is in the form of a marine remember)

You cannot create Scanner Sweeps in an unmodded StarCraft.

What you do is have a cloaked enemy unit attack the computer. Bam. The computer uses Scanner Sweep.

Also, you can detect cloaked units in a location, but it cannot detect whether it is cloaked or not.

Someone should make an AI Script "Scanner Sweep" it would be useful...

[MidnightGladius]

Let me clarify. I want a system in which a computer can detect cloaked units in an area and automatically scanner sweep it.

GSG-9, thanks, but your solution wouldn't be practical in my situation. Oh well, I guess I can figure something out.

Well, you could always set up a thing where if your opponent is in your area, give it to another computer player that has allied vision (one that's an enemy and unused) and that would at least show the location of the unit. Just a thought...

Well, the only units it will be revealing are burrowed units, so that wouldn't work.

[Big batch of junk. Deleted now. Nothing to see here! Byeeeee! :D]

Sadly, there's no trigger based way that will allow you to determine wether a unit is cloaked or not, so this will work the same for ghosts and wraiths no matter if they're cloaked or not. I'd recommend that you use it only with DT's and Obs

Oh, btw Toonami. DO NOT DO THAT! If you know it's not on topic, don't post about it. Advertising your own topic... big no no

You lie. Fool
It is perfectly possible to create scanner sweeps as long as you have starforge or SCXE. This is what you should do;
(assuming the player with cloakies is #1 and the scanny comp is #2)

[Conditions]
-Always
-Player 1 brings at least 1(dark templar/observer/wraith/ghost/arbiter) to location
[actions]
-Create [1] [scanner sweep] at [location] for player 2
-Preserve trigger.
You can't create scanner sweeps while the game is going, you can only plant them for the beginning.

Oh... really? My mistake... edited previous posts.

[MidnightGladius]

No problem guys. I've edited my map so that the Scanner Sweep will work perfectly. I'm simply going to give your complimentary army to the CPU. It makes my work a lot easier, and the gameplay too. All you have to worry about now is piloting your BC, Wraith, Scout, or Carrier :D.

U can mod energy using triggers if they were cloaked excludind ur problems w/ zerglings
