I managed to break down replays...

Map plays normally with no issues, but the replays despite showing the gold/lumber changes they do not display any units other than the initial units. They do not "fight" I just hear the dying sounds but nothing is displayed...

Anyone had such a problem before?

Might need a video to understand what you mean is happening.

Generally replays should work like the original session unless you specifically program replay only scripts or do something silly like use GetLocalPlayer to alter game state.

GetLocalPlayer to alter game state.

Game state such as? Switching on/off triggers? I only use GetLocalPlayer to change colors etc

Does replay store any checks of running triggers/funcs etc?

Game state such as?

Anything that alters the outcome of the game.

Switching on/off triggers?

Yes. Also unit properties like health, creating a handle, unit positions, resource amounts etc.

Does replay store any checks of running triggers/funcs etc?

No it does not. During a replay the game expects the map to behave exactly like it did when the replay was first created using the map or the replay might not sync.

edit: fixed, faulty trigger

Not fixed after all. Was fixed on my 1.27b map development workspace. It does not work on 1.28/1.28.1
