1. Is there anyway I can run a trigger if a unit has burrowed at a location?
2. Is there anyway to disable the map's shroud? I tried having humans turn on shared vision for a computer player with map revealers and then turning sv off, but either it wouldn't realize the share vision or wouldn't turn the vision off afterwards...
3. Can I get a computer player to cast spells, like vessel -> eradicate without it being attacked first?
4. Is there anyway to subtract health rather than change percentage? (doubt it but felt the need to ask)

1. Huh???

2. Explain that clearer.

3. See Tips and Tricks.

4. Sort of, but is complicated.

4. Nope. The only way close to this is making health another factor such as custom score or death counts. If you need help click Rev's Battle System 4 or 5 in my signature.

1. If player 1 burrows a zergling at location x, move zergling to location y. Possible?
2. "Is there anyway to disable the shroud?"
The rest of it is just what I was trying to do...
I tried

Trigger
Players:
¤ All Players
Conditions:
¤ Always
Actions:
¤ runaiscript - turn on shared vision for player 6
¤ wait 500
¤ runaiscript - turn off shared vision for player 6


but it never turned it off.
If I take out the wait, it doesn't turn it on.

1. No, unless you use the "Move" Trigger.
2. Try running it for only one Player/Force.
3. Refer to DT Post, see Tips and Tricks Document.
4. Refer to Revelade's Post.

1. it's possible, but it might be too hard to understand for a beginner. requires a VERY small location centered on the unit that can burrow, and then have a unit moved there. if it goes onto the location, it's burrowed, otherwise it's not.

4. use attacks from units... given within a certain amount of time or create a certain number of units. to heal, use medics. this requires A LOT of testing to get it right.

1. You can't directly detect if a unit is burrowed or not
2. You can't disable fog of war sorry, the best you could do is create map revealers everywhere they go but that could cause problems.
3. Answered already (go to clan(U) forums and check out "mapmakers tricks and help archive" it's kinda messed up formating wise since the change to V4 of SEN
4. No, unless you plan to artifiually store unit hp.

Here's burrow recognition, by Dabbu.

2. Just preplace map revealers for all the humans, then have a trigger to remove them. I think that's what you mean blink.gif

1. It depends on how high the elevation is. You need click on the location and uncheck the elevations that dont work. But it depends on how high you are like if youre standing on a cliff. It will work if your entire map is one level. Or just do the burrow recognition thing.
