How do you meak something rescuable

[LifeDreamer]

I made player 11 rescuable and placed some units on the map.

Fine, when Red comes near close he 'rescues' them.

But when Blue comes near... nothing happens? Its it only red which can rescue something?

Try using regions and " transfer ownership " instead of making a unit being rescued.

 

[LifeDreamer]

Argh. So you are saying the system is bugged?

 

[oz02]

No, but once a unit is rescued, it isn't recuable any more. The idea of rescuable units is that once someone recues the unit, they change to his team and aren't rescuable any more.

DUH! - i know that...

Ok, lets try again!

1. Create game
2. Choose to play as Red
3. Go to village.
4. Rescue people.
5. End game

1. Create game
2. Choose to play as Blue
3. Go to village.
4. Try to rescue people, but they can't be rescued!
5. End game.

Ie, it appears that only Red can rescue something??

I'd prefer not to have the bother of "transfer ownership", (if it is at all possible)

 

[oz02]

I see your problem. It may be a bug with the WE, but I would reccomend going into the Trigger Editor and at Map Initialization make the action Player - Make (whatever the rescuable player is) rescuable for All players.

 

[LifeDreamer]

Thanks but that doesn't seem to work either :-/

 

[oz02]

If you send me your map i'll try and see what the problem is (you can conatct me on AIM or MSN or just email it to me @ [email protected].

 

[LifeDreamer]

Wow, thats a nice offer.

I tried just making a new tiny map just to test this, and that didn't seem to work either (or i'm doing something really stupid

I can try sending that.

 

[Sopho]

Usually there aren't much bugs but is you WE cracked or something? also try re-installing the game and updated.

 

[LifeDreamer]

Ok oz02, i've send you something

And Sohpo are you on crack or something, there are tons of bugs, they have a list on the official board.

And no it isn't cracked, and no i'm not going to reinstall anything.

 

[Sopho]

I don't use cracks and blizzard should fix more bugs.

 

[oz02]

Don't blame blizzard, they've done an amazing job as it is by making their great games. It's probably not that easy to fix those bugs also, considering that they're probably really busy with WoW, besides, not all of the bugs are just mistakes. Their could be some that are unfixable unless they want to totally changet the way the game works. You just have to accept the bugs and make the most of what you have.

 

[Sopho]

Blizzard never knew we would take making maps so seriously - they mostly did balances and fixes with general melee games. Theres very little fixes and changes to the World Editor. I think people these days make more maps then playing the real point of Warcraft III - Melee games. Wc3sear takes map creation very serious because we get the best out of WE

 

[LifeDreamer]

I for one never liked "the real point" of warcraft iii (perhaps it's because i couldn't figure out it *g*) - i much prefer the maps which in Starcrafts day were called "use map settings"

 

[LifeDreamer]

So oz02 you didn't really get it to work either?
