Same here with the actors. In my map, any time a unit breaks an attack to move somewhere it creates an infested terran actor on said unit. And this is for a version that was stable before the patch... O.o
I'm not sure how much of a description would help, since I'm a bit bewildered by this problem. I created a map that works completely fine except for one problem: After roughly 15 minutes of gameplay, the game will crash. Not just the map, but SC2. I managed to get someone to send me a replay of me crashing and there is nothing significant happening when the crash occurs. I published another map that does not have this problem.
If you think you can help, I can PM you the error log if you like.

Hello everyone. My problem is a bit complicated, but I'll be as brief as possible.
I'm trying to make an ability that can target both points and units. In other words, I want the ability to fire a beam at the terrain OR a marine/command center/bunker/etc.
For attacking points, everything works perfectly. I select the point on the terrain to use the ability, the ability charges correctly (30 seconds, cast stage) then correctly fires the beam. However, for units, the only thing that will work is the ability execution. It will not charge (enter cast stage) or successfully fire (finish stage.) I checked over the ability and related effects and everything is set to target units/points. Is this some kind of bug in the editor or did I miss something?
Hello ProzaicMuze. As you might expect, I have a question regarding beams.
Specifically with the Void Ray. I want the beam to channel on the target like normal but break when the target moves a certain distance away from the shooter's facing angle. Sort of like Arc Slop. Actually, exactly like Arc Slop. Currently I have it so that it can only acquire a target within 10 degrees of the facing angle but once the beam is on the target it will stay on it until the target either dies or moves out of range.
Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks for your time.
- Reworked the way vehicle energy is structured. Vehicles can travel further but no longer recharge energy on their own (this rework should also reduce lag a bit)
- New item: Vehicle Battery Charger; Partially recharges the battery of a target vehicle
- Nerfed Charged Burst a bit (lasts 1.2 seconds instead of 1.5)
- Augmented Leggings no longer cost custom resources to purchase
- Fixed a bug that made it impossible for the alien to evolve if he placed an egg or item in a vehicle
The map is published in the US region as of right now. If it becomes more popular (and if Blizzard hasn't allowed cross-region play by then) I will seek methods for publishing in other regions.
If you want to try the map and you don't have any friends online, here's how you do it:
1. Get on battle.net
2. Click on Multiplayer, then Create Game. Toggle the drop down menus so they display "Popular" followed by "Custom."
3. Enter Malum Ruina into the search bar and click on search. If you are in the US region, the map should be displayed in the box below. Double click on the map to begin hosting.
4. Start the game. Once it loads, type "-disable victory" to turn off the victory conditions. This will allow you to play the game alone.
Just to note, if you play the game this way it won't be very interesting. It's intended for multiple people (I would recommend at least 6.) But this is a good way to familiarize yourself with the mechanics of the game.
Does anyone know where to change the custom resource icon? At the moment it's just that default metal heart type icon, which is nice an' all, but not really representative of the resource it's for. I can change the name, and the resource works just now, I'm just wanting to change the icon.
Thanks for any help.
This, and also is there any way to modify the error message that appears when, say, someone tries to train a unit that costs custom resources but doesn't have enough (the default error is "e_cmdNotEnoughCustom.")? I looked in the text editor but the field just doesn't appear.
I cannot get the Ability Command for Inventory to show up in the trigger. It seems to only show Effect - Target type abilities. I have set a button to the Use Item (Instant) command for the Inventory Ability. Am I missing something?
I'm having this same problem. It has to do with the inventory ability automatically assigning sub-abilities to manipulate items. You can't change "ItemInstant" to anything else, so changing it from "No Target" doesn't work. This is why any button assigned to ItemInstant doesn't show up in the Order Use Item Instant action - only abilities with targeting will show up (especially considering this function is a copy of "Issue Order Targeting Item.")

Here is a link to the replay where I crash: Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/file/1z7kamodna1a9s7/EE Crash.SC2Replay
Is there a common problem that causes games to crash? What factors would lead to a game crash?

Yay, I got it! Finally.
I downloaded that trigger library linked to earlier and now issuing the "Take" order targeting the item as a unit works. Hooray!
