SC2Mapster

In my ongoing SC2 Map experience, I've decided I want to make a room (or 2 or 3) on my map....I want the room to be a random size and I want it to be placed randomly on my map over and over. I have most of this logic already written but before I continue i have the following questions....

Questions:

1) Do I have to use Destructable Walls? Are there any other suggestions? The walls obviously need to not allow users to walk through them like doodads. I know there's a setting for collision in the data editor somewhere....but would prefer not using it. 2) Do i need to create the wall pieces during map initialization or can i create/destroy the wall pieces every time? For this one I'm worried i might end up creating too many wall pieces and since they're "units" they might lag the map.

• yes destructible wall are must. no other way really to get this level of precision with collision. Use structures and change their footprint. Just like terran base, flies up , lands and you can't go thru it.
• Walls won't lag the map but there's a unit limit. (don't remember how much. 8k?)

@Nerfpl:

Thanks for the feedback.  Follow up that's related:

From what i can tell you can't create a region after map initialization.  Can you move/resize regions via triggers?  I'm looking to say take a 12x12 region @ point x, y and then magic happens and it's now a 12x16 region at point a,b.  

The scenario is.....units are only allowed to spawn in a certain room...if that room moves, the spawning region needs to move too.

you can create regions at runtime.

//Convert square to region
//Convert circle to region
        regsq = (Region(10.0, 10.0, 10.0, 10.0)) <Region>
        regc = (Region((Point(10.0, 10.0)), 100.0)) <Region>

similarly to point p = point from XY(x,y)

@Nerfpl:

so i would use the set variable action to resize the region?

no, you create new one and save it to global variable so your other trigger can read from it
