does it work for players or only computers?

also how do people make those directional shooting? like you facing left then you shoot left?
or they jut have observers at the other end...but still..that mans you can only have 1 direction....

The only think I know about this topic is that it work's for both players...But you probally wont be able to control them.

JunkYard dog only works for computer players.

I don't understand what your second question means.

junkyard dog never works for me,not for comps,or players,i make the trigger and unit just sits there like the ing retard he is

yeah, I know, but it doesn't happen always to me...
funny, maybe, you forgot to place a computer start location and it was given to player 12.

Make sure the computer with the units is the one to own the trigger, that way you know he will be thre to run it and have t work.

I don't get your second question. Do you mean like Marines that fire at midair

i was trying to make a wraith move owned by a player....

no i meant in liek basketball...you can aim...except i dotn want that....i want you to be able to aim in any direction...
i know you have use an units onthe border but that isnt really effecient for fast paced games...

He is not referring to the unit 2008 trick, he is referring to like in a basketball game - instead of passing the scourge to other players or shoot at the goal, how to make it that you aim manually to the directions around you (like you unload a scv and it shoots straight ahead etc.) And yes, the unit 2008 trick doesn't work anymore, maps with that unit will just crash in patch 1.2

All Ai scripts only apply to computer players; makes sense in a wierd way, huh?

hm...ya


ya thats what i want.

also the nuke AI, the enter transport/bunker AI works...plus a bunch of others.
but liek the those others ones i dotn get, liek terran tank town..they are only for comps...

mmh... for your seconde Q (how do people make those directional shooting? like you facing left then you shoot left?
or they jut have observers at the other end...but still..that mans you can only have 1 direction....)
do u mean a disabled marine ?

direectional shooting.
though i got many ideas for it none of them seem good...

what does attack generic target do? does it travel in a certain direction forever or somthing?(Until stopped)
i need some thing like that so i can haved an observer circle your unit and it will fly that direction...

I would use something like 1x64 locations that span the whole map, then I would have units border the edges of the map, so that you would center the 1x64 location on your main unit and a unit would also be in the location around the edges, therefore you can tell the observer to move there.
Or create a series of overlords using the grid method where you create about 9 overlords, center whichever one you want then from there create another 9 and keep repeating it as far as you want to go.

What about neutral players?

-EE

u could load a shuttle with 8 units each assigned to a direction and when unloaded, the *bullet* fires in the direction according to the unit unloaded

ex: marine=left unload marine and bullet goes to left of map

Take a look at Tux's Gunner System, that will help:

And looking at this grid tutorial wouldn't hurt either:

I do believe there was 2 gunner systems that were named 1 and 2 but were completely different approaches. They are in the experimental maps section.
