Hey i was just wondering if there was a way to break minrils so you can just walkthru them and you cant mine from them in melee.

You can place them as sprites owned by Player 12 in SCMDraft 2/Starforge.

I don't think that sprites have to be owned by player 12 to stay on the map in melee. Only units/unit-sprites do.

Sprites can be any player, but if the player is missing (E.g. Player 1 never existed) they wont show. Player12 is always there, so it best to use it.
(Also doesn't have to be SCMDraft... I only use SF and I can do all of this...)

Break minerals - not possible i thin
be able to walk trough minerals yup
they already said it place an sprite for p12 so it looks like a real mineral even on minimap but i think sprites also as triggers are removed from a melee game or not?

All sprites (Not sure about unit-sprites though) are permanent. When you play a map, does the doodad sprites go away? No. Same with the rest.

No, Heimdal was right. Sprites will always appear no matter who owns them. Unit sprites, on the other hand, won't appear unless the player who owns them is current. Player 12 is what you would want to use for unit sprites.

Unit-Sprites do not appear in melee. (I tested just now. I put 1 unit-sprite marine for everybody. and it doesnt work)

Yes they do, if they are owned by player 12.

Woah! It only works for player 12 (I tried 1-12)

So i can use sprites to trick newbie players into thinking that they cant pass a certain area because there are minerals in the way?

They will know somethings wrong when they click it (You can't walk through a unit-sprite; I tried)

But can i put any other sprite that is not selectable?

Anything that is a "Sprite" and not a "Sprite-Unit" will be able to put anywhere (even on other units/sprites), can be walked under, but cannot be clicked.
Sprite units are almost just normal units, but they are a sprite (I think they count as a sprite?)

Yes, but units will always be able to pass through sprites.

Umm, I think that anything owned by P12 will show up in mele maps.

If you place a unit that is Player 12, it is removed. If you place a Unit-Sprite that is player 12, it will stay.
