I need to know how you'd manually controll them.
Anyone know the triggers for it?

i dont think you can contorl it, unless your tlaking about like moving it like

Always

Move SpiderMine to 'wherever'

then it might work...just try with it


but you cant controll a mine to make it move like you can with a marine

Its possible...


But, I cant tell for now at least

Toasty did it. You saw it, right Kow?

You'd have to do something like this:

This is just my hypothesis, didn't look at the triggers yet.

Spidermines move when units are nearby. So, I would think when a spidermine is sitting, a cloaked unit is moved to the next light square, causing the mine to "attack to the square". When the mine gets any closer, I'd think the unit gets moved to the next square, causing the mine to move again in a continuous loop.

That's friggin confusing...

ADDITION:
But I need it so you could manually controll the spider mine... Not the spidermine just like, following a unit..

You can't. It's not possible.

My friend did it in one of his maps, though.

okay do you mean you want the mine scurrying around or do you want the mine to just be rigth under him all the time?

I mean I need the mine to be like an actual unit. I was select it, click a spot, and it will go there. And I can repeat that process as many times as I want.

Can't happen

ADDITION:
And if you think/saw it happen then please post it...this is something i wanna see.

I gotta find the map :/ I have a lot of maps and I can't remember what he named it

And I will forsure post the triggers on how to do it if I find it.

That reminds me...if you can...and you have the map...and you can copy the triggers...why are you asking us?

I have a few thousand maps and I don't remember what it is called.
So I figured one of you might know.

Well most of us here don't think its possible. Like you can't control larva, intercepters and scarabs. So why would you be able to control the spider mine. The only way i can think of is the way Snipe suggested.

or make a mod.

I dont know how to make a mod and I tried they way he said and it didn't work. But w/e.... I know it can be done and I will get it

If you can find the map or a replay to prove it, we will believe you. Otherwise it was either:
A) Misunderstanding.
B) You saw EUDs change the graphics of a unit (which no longer works).

I'm sure all the experienced mappers support the fact that it is not possible without modding.

Dude its possible to manually control a spidermine which you need a program for. To put in map. People dont need the program to join your game / control Spider mine.

Care to tell us how?

This is very much possible man.... Lol. Just Constantly create and remove a unit at an observer. Then the spider mine will follow the observer. The observer is what u control. And the spider mine will move under it.

Whaa?

Read please

What do you mean by read please?

ADDITION:
Bah.. Lol. Nevermind. I didn't realize there was two pages

IF I FIND OUT HOW, I WILL POST IT.

AND......
If it could be done, would you have to do it with EUD?
