That would be very impractical. He used a screencapture program and saved it as a movie file.

I saved about 200 screenshots, batch converted to gif, and imported it into a video. ShadowSnipe4 got the actual footage(the up-close ones tongue.gif).

I don't remember if we mentioned this but if you burrow a drone and put a unit on the drone (Or it can be any other burrowable unit) and unburrow the drone, the drone will stack onto the unit..

It never worked that way. It was when the unit was totally unselectable(even with drag+click). It was also after a long time. The physical unit room and sprite room are separate.

Couldn't, because you can't select it. tongue.gif

Meh, it's THAT unselectable? Get some splash damage in there or somehow give it to a computer (Trigger).

You wouldn't be able to do splash damage if you can't click attack on anything tongue.gif


Its so messed up.. you have to experience it yourself

Oh and no triggers were involved.. this was all from scratch.. hehe

Meh, when you think about ti its not that amazing, you hit teh sprite limit, SC cant make teh faces

It's not only faces. It's shadows too. The shuttle looks like a ground unit now, I think if you made high templars they wouldn't glow when they walked. And you cannot for anything attack, issue order harvest, or do anything but MOVE with units. You can click drag over your units to select on them, thats about it.

I think ive encountered this while playing Overmind Defence accually

I wouldn't doubt it if people have encountered it before. I have. I just thought nothing of it. And I still do, this doesn't help in map making or anything, it's just a wierd quirk.

Wow...how do ppl figure out these things...by coincidence? confused.gif

Whew, It's not worth an effect. Imagine creating hundreds of useless units just for one effect, anyway, it's worth a try. tongue.gif

Thats really cool, useless thought. Do you have the map? I would like to try! smile.gif

Yeah, very cool but I still think maxing out the map just for a faceless archon is quite useless. Hehe.
