Maybe I do not catch your idea clearly. you explain how to make shield unit. But you do not explain how to make it unidirectional.

Create a shield is easy. Just use search area effect to find target and make shield unit is the first choice target. The key point is how to make shield unidirectional. It means that if a unit in the shield field, it can attack unit outside, but the missiles from unit outside would be resisted. And also if two rival unit in shield field, they can attack each other.

For this, you need link missile unit and shield units in the region which the missile create in. And when missile search target, eliminate these shields.

To achieve this. I use Marker for linking. When a missile create, trigger a Unit Created event, and check if it is in region. If in, make the missile spell a Apply Behavior effect with marker (match Spell Unit) to shields of region. This effect apply a behavior to keep marker exist until missile die(by remove validator of unit alive ). And the Search effect of missile will use Marker Validator to check if a unit can be attack.

So, our Solution is bitter. If some shields place together, even some of them are overlapped, the system also works OK. It because whether a missile can impact a unit (decide by Marker Validator in target effect of Search Area effect ) is controlled by if the missile give a Apply Behavior effect with marker.

The validated of impact is just related to target unit‘s marker, has nothing to do with the location and distance.

No, all things we need is OK for this system. Something need to at that time is about how to put blindage(a range with many field units) on generated area, and we can get the best operating efficiency base on our existing systems. At now, it is OK.

So we are good here, right? Sorry I was busy during your discussion, Glad to know that you have shared ideas and solved the divergences. :)

Hi guys, long time no see. I was appointed to be the technical adviser for the Gold Club World Championship in Beijing last week.

Partners and I have worked about 3 weeks for the AR shows on this contest. It's the first time that an E-sports game used AR technology in China, and we achieved this all by ourselves (Official model use authority but rare asset or technological help from Blizzard.)

If you have paid attention to recent news about HotS, most game medias appreciated highly to Blizzard and Netease this time.

I want to say thanks to the CASC viewer team, PrintIn and Taylormouse here, without their works on Blizzard assets crack, we can't get the job done in only 3 weeks time.

It's my honor to have you such good friends and predecessors. This victory belongs to the SC2mapster community and all selfless modders.

Best wishes from China!

I will back to mod works and go on all my requests in days. If there are rush orders, plz let me know, I will do them first.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Hi DrSuperEvil, I am replying you among debris and broken walls, long story. Thanks for your attention and alternative method, after all, more discussions come more ideas.

Cool, you had the honor to do such a amazing event:)

Thanks Veratai! Happy new year to you too.

I'll explain my absence these days later. It's a long and dark story...Which every sc2 modder should be careful.

I am just facing a war against sc2 map thieves, and they are my compatriots. They even steal my mods that already open sourced, and pretend to be the real authors...

Shame of them. Tomorrow I'll explain details. Every of my plans for the community has been ruined...
