Well, i did that and i think it is working fine, still the problem is, the flag wont attach it self to the probe, or even get picked up, i am not sure why, in the flags, i have excluded self, so because only probes are meant to be able to pick up the flag, do I allow workers or require?

Ok i think i have i even have the drop flag on death ..... now ... welll all i can say is i am pissed off, THE TEST FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK ON MY MAP. IT WORKS ON OTHER PEOPLES BUT NOT THIS ONE ZOMG@! i have posted on the blizzard site and in the bugs with still no reply.... pllleeeease help, any ideas as to why??

But i have cheked it heaps, can i PM it to you so you can look at it for me>??

EDIT: goin to dinner will check this after if i can send it to you, so if i do send it it wont be for another 30-40 mins , thanks :))

Yeah, sometimes i forget, so can i send it to you:??

EDIT YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

it was the footprint

yeah i thinkh so, ima test it again, i just need to fix up ultralisk attack (which ill need help with) buying stuff using pylons as the money and the pylon footprint. Then im practicaly almost finished ma map

EDIT: now for somereason, i can still use my back up of mining the flag, but for somereason the auto pick up isnt working, I might send the map to you l8er is that ok Dr?

thank you so much!

:P ill take that as a yes? ima sending it to you now with my epic speelllllllluin skills :)

Ok, after struggling with this I now have more problems. When the probe dies after picking up the flag it drops the flag (yay) but its under the ownership of the probe, so it drops to flags for the probe's player. Also the autocast ability does not work at all i have to actually mine the god damn thing. And another completly different question, I want my ultralisk to randomly attack a probe but if one is much closer atack that. Ill attach a link to a youtube video I found about the old Sc1 game play.

thanks for looking at this lowsy post and i appreciate all help :)

@CrazyTwigman: Go Are you still having problems with this flag system? And WTF is that SC1 map?

Quote from DrSuperEvil: Go

Under the Create Unit ability just set the Unit - Spawn - Owner Value to neutral. If I remember how you set your map up you had it that the autocast could not target units of the same player? So as the flag is currently being dropped as your player you cannot use the autocast to find a target.

With the changing target, just have a periodic search area using the Distance TS that then uses an Issue Order effect to attack.

Ok the Dropping flag now works, but what about the autocast abilty, i am really not that good with data so could you guys be kind and do it step by step please.

EDIT:!! actually the dropping flag doesnt work it just drops it for what it says Neautral Player. So dropping it for Player 0 doesnt really help. I tried the other options (eg player source or creator) and nothing worked so back to where i was with probe death and probe pick up and ultralisk attack :/

ok, well say the player dies so we'll call this player A, then when player B gets close then the flag (somehow) which was created at the death of Player A gets autoattached to Player B. When Player B dies, Player B gets created a flag for his death then drops the flag for player A. I think i just need the probe drop flag and probe pick up not the ultralisk attack but any hhelp would be great :)

Ok, so I am about to edit the droping thing but what about the pickup to enable the caster/source to work. I did copy and modify the pickupo minerals, and now the pickupminerals doesnt even work X.x

And for the flag drop is it (in detail view) Effect: effect - spawn

OR

Unit Spawn owner Effect?

EDIT @SoulFilcher: Go yes i am having trouble with the flag system xD please help with more simple terminology
