Broodlings

[Ilendil]

I have seen maps with broodlings that have zero energy. I tryed using the "set unit energy" to 0% but it didn't work. When I create a broodling, it is still at the 180 energy count-down... How do I set it so it doesn't do this?

A broodling normally dies when used with the "create with properties" action after it's 'energy'reaches 0, and the same effect takes place if the unit is pre-placed on the map in StarEdit. But when broodlings are created using the "create unit(s)" action, they simply never die unless it is from damage.

*copies a short FAQ from his site*
Many people have trouble with pre-placed, or trigger placed Broodlings dying once thier energy runs out. Here is the trigger to use so they are placed and stay alive unless killed:

Owners:
- Player 1

Conditions:
- CONDITION OF YOUR CHOICE

Actions:
- CREATE UNIT'S
Create '1' 'Zerg Broodling' at 'location' for 'player 1'

Of course the trigger doesn't have to be for player 1, just change the player to which ever you want.

So there needs to be no 0% set energy trigger? And I created broodlings with triggers... and the broodlings still have the energy countdown. How do I fix it?

Also, I saw a spider mine that is "up" as in not planted, but there, and it can't move or attack. It looked like it was neutral... how do I set it so spider mines can do it with triggers? Or do I have to place them manually?

Spider mines have to be placed manually for a nuetral player to do that i'm pretty sure.

Did you read what I posted about broodlings? Don't iwht the create unit with properties trigger, just use the creat unit one.

and why are you setting their energy to 0%? that will kill them right away.

 

[Ilendil]

No, I'm creating them with triggers, but they still have the energy.

wwoooowww... you found that out yourself or from reading my post above where I said that?

 

[KiLLeR-CrAzY]

you said that?

 

[Ilendil]

Ok... here is the trigger:

CONDITION
- Current player brings at exactly 1 Civilian to 'Broodling'
ACTION
- Create 1 'Broodling' at 'Pre-Spawn'
- Preserve trigger

Then theres a trigger to move the units at 'Pre-Spawn' to their respectable Spawners, which are hero science vessels.

These units STILL have the energy that end up killing them.

hmmmm , yay

i know whats wrong , i passed all the day in the school figuring it out .
in the map cant be ay broodlings , if therees one when you create them theyll not work , so remove every broodling and create them with a location

 

[Ilendil]

Nope, it doesn't work.

Boy he sure wasted his time in school lol...

I don't see why it isn't working, if you create them without editing properties it should work perfectly.

You can always just make a trigger that keeps all broodlings energy at 100% if nothing else is going to do it... I still don't see why create units isn't working.

 

[KiLLeR-CrAzY]

my time
but why it isnt working?
are you sure there wasnt any broodling?
mmmmmm maybe you did a trigger that makes broodlings energy go down ...no , thats stupid, i dont know whats going on with your map , try looking at the units settings or somewhere else and look for something

 

[KiLLeR-CrAzY]

mmmmmmmmmmm sorry but i couldnt edit , your map is great i know how you did that fire , disable bunlers with some damage and with some fb inside it no?
and your broodlings , try creating the broodlings at the beacon
( the lings that show you which unit you can make )

 

[Ilendil]

Yes!! I found out why. There was a trigger to set energy to all units on the map to 100%. Well, when I changed it so it only counts for medics, it didn't change the broodlings energy.
