I want the protoss forge to research non stop so that it will look like it is like a watermill by the water, what will have to do, I already have it enabled so that it doesn't need any pylons, and the map will last until you are bored, so from 5-∞ minutes. So what would be the best thing to do or if is possible.

Just use an upgrade that will never be needed by that player and set the time to the longest possible time. You will have to research it manually sine you can't make a computer player research an upgreade with triggers. you can use an AI, but it will take some time before the ocmputer starts researching that upgrade.

I know there are ways to get a computer to upgrade (heimdal was doing something with it a long time ago). From there you could basicly just put the upgrade time to be really long.

Edit: Arg beerkeg beat me to it.

Upgrades from Computer will only run to 3 upgrades, unless you MOD an Ai to make it go beyond that.

Well, at max time for upgrade, then 1 upgrade will take MORE than the 5 minutes anyways...
*EzDay2 thinks so, atleast

If you can find Heimdals "Forcing a computer to upgrade" map then you can set the unit build time to 9999, then "make" the computer upgrade.

OR:

You can make a Pre-Game set up and tell Player one to start the upgrade then move the forge accordingly (and give it back to whatever player you want).

Wtf did you just say?
I don't think that you can move a forge and having it still research the upgrades. At least i have never seen it before.
I am sure about this: If you start an upgrade and you give the builidng to someone that upgrade will be lost.

I'm pretty sure you can move a forge and keep it's upgrade, but giving it to another player is different story. Anyway, that is a horrible solution to a problem we could probably work out easier.

hmm i dont kno any solution except making the player manually upgrading. if you make the upgrade take 9999 to upgared and there are 9 upgrades total(unless u make 255) then you could basically have it lastthe game.

But then a player would own it so they could cancel it any time...

The the only thing to do is PM heimdal. I can't think of anything else. Is there a script you could make in SCAIE3 that would make it upgrade. Oh yeah, do those scripts work on B.net?, because if they don't its irrelevant if you can do the upgrade scripts.
