After 2 years of inactive at making maps, the Map god threw a brick at my head and I got an idea. Instead of Whack a mole, WHY NOT WHACK A LING!? There fore I'm going to make Whack a ling. I got it all planned out and I think it will be around 4-6 players. I know how to make a zergling burrow and unburrow so I'll be using that concept. I dont have much more to say but I'll post more but I dont think there will be much to type since its like a mini game or a finger sport !
The Hammer or The hitter will be
Corsair or Defiler (Depending on which is faster)
There will be 9 or 13 holes and 13 squares which are 2x2 or 1x1
The Ling will be a ling (obviously)
I might put a store for splash hitting of the Lings
I might add a little story to it which is about starcraft
If I find sounds ill put it but if u have sounds like Hammer bashing, mole sounds, or anything that fits with Whack a Ling please tell me and give me :]

Make it so sometimes it's not a ling that pops up, but a Medic (or allied unit) and if you whack it it goes
''LAWL NUBZ)R U WAHACK TE HMEXDIC YOU ROFL DIE''
And then be cool, cause you're sexy SilentEcho.

#1. Why did he throw a brick at your head?
#2. You should use burrow detection with this ( i can help if needed )
#3. You should add things NOT to hit ( Hero ling with diff name )
#4. Make sure lings dont spawn that fast so that the defiler/corsair cant cast its spells quickly enough
#5. Good Luck
#6. Msg me if you want some help cuz you know I'm your bud
Hope you got some ideas from that

Seems like a very simple concept. Still a fun idea but you should try to add a little complexity to it. Test your mapping skills!
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Maith on 2006-05-16 at 16:14:33
maybe you could add multi-hit or combo or something
like a certain chance there going to get a better hit and hit 2 of them
that way the game play is really weird

You will need a 1x1 pixel location. You can create one with StarForge or SCMDraft2. It should be a tiny dot (not a grid square). We will call it "PL".
If we create a unit over a location but the location is not big enough to fit, the unit will still be created but not within the location. We will use this to our advantage by creating a trigger that does the following:
-Create a unit over a 1x1 (pixel) location.
--If the unit is on the location, then the unit is still burrowed.
---Actions to take.
--If the unit is not on the location, then the unit is unburrowed.
---Actions to take.
Please note that a Switch is used. This is to simplify the process for newer people; obviously, (isolated) death counts, score, etc, will still work.
Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Switch 1 is Cleared (To start the chain)
Actions:
¤ Center location labeled 'PL' on Unit (the Unit that is being detected as to whether or not it's burrowed) owned by Player at 'Anywhere'
¤ Create 1 Probe (or anything other ground unit) at 'PL' for Computer
¤ Set Switch 1
¤ Preserve trigger.
Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Computer brings at least 1 Probe to 'PL'
¤ Switch 1 is Set
Actions:
¤ Remove Probe at 'SL'
¤ Actions if the unit is burrowed.
¤ Clear Switch 1
¤ Preserve Trigger
Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Player Comp brings exactly 0 Probes to 'PL'.
¤ Switch 1 is Set
Actions:
¤ Remove Probe at Anywhere (or the specificed location close to 'PL')
¤ Actions if the unit is not burrowed.
¤ Clear Switch 1
¤ Preserve Trigger
Message me on SC if you can't think of a way to use this.

As long as your map ends up better than this one, which is highly likely, you're doing good.
