Stacked Defense

[TheBeastofUrak]

Ok heres a new one, I think. There is a new type of map on bnet, the stacked cannon, turret etc. defense. Im sure most of you are familiar with it but just in case you are not, the basic idea is that you can "turn out the lights" which makes the map look like fog of war. You can still access your probe/scv thru a hotkey though and you can build stuff on top of each other. I was wondering if anyone knows how it is done. I havent been able to figure it out or open any of the maps but maybe someone can help. I attached a sample map if you want to dl it.

I've done it on my map... check the topic "Maps." To enable it, you need to put your civilian on the day/night ON beacon. At 4:00 it is "night" where you can not see yourself but you can stack.

Heres how to do it:

You need to run an AI script to turn off allied vision ON YOURSELF!

So, if your Player 1, you use the AI script: "Turn off Allied Vision for Player 1."

... you need to get an editor that lets you select those, the one you have isn't that good then.

[TheBeastofUrak]

You either need a modified editor like emerald or you need to download the blizzard internal scripts which have the Av scripts and many others

ok now that i have the trigger set for turning off vision .. how do i keep vision on in 1 part of the map (a location) so that the person can turn vision back on without having to group the unit used to turn off vision ?

Hey, I made one of these Stacked Cannon Defense maps. Some of you may have played it or at least heard of it. It's Stacked Cannon D 5-Way, and I am OwN-SeKsI, the worlds most beloved map-maker. *ahem* Anyway, yeah, you need to download a special editor patch (poor me, I'm on a Mac, only one I can get is StarEdit Emerald), but you PC users can get the great stuff like StarGraft, ISOM (or whatever), and all the other fun stuff. But things like Emerald and StarGraft have an added list of Heroes (all the Unused ones, like Arcturus Mengsk) and a few more trigger options (primarily under "Run AI Script"). Now what you do is upon getting this patch, use the trigger "Run AI Script: Turn ON/OFF shared vision for Player #". Now, say you want to have Player 1 to be able to stack. So you'd do:

Conditions:
Current player brings exactly 1 [unit] to [location].

Actions:
Run AI Script: Turn OFF Shared Vision for Player 1.
Preserve Trigger.

Now, since these are team games, you would actually want to turn off Shared Vision for everyone on the team and put every player on the team under "Players". You then have a similar trigger to turn Shared Vision back on. And there you have it! You now have the groundings for your very own Stacked Cannon (or anything else) Defense. Have fun!
