@ST4RKiLL3R: @SouLCarveRR: If you're interested at all in the technical side of it, 65536 is equivalent to 2^16, therefore it is the highest unsigned integer you can represent with 16 bits, or two bytes, (assuming you start counting from 1 instead of 0, which is a bit strange imo). A common programming practice is to set aside the highest possible value of a data type to represent "infinity," which is what blizzard seems to have done here.

Sorry, I'm a programmer irl, and I know this is probably way more detail than you ever wanted to know, but I thought you might be curious.

I haven't seen any tutorials on how to prevent players from walling off (creating a wall of towers that ground units cant get past) in a tower defense so I thought I'd share the way I do it. Feel free to let me know if you find a better way to do it. For this to work, you will need to make sure your tower's footprint is something like "Footprint 1x1" NOT "Footprint 1x1 (Contour)," which is a mistake I originally made.

In the trigger editor I do this:


Event:
Any unit construction progress is Started


Actions:
if Pathing cost between Spawn Point and End Point == 65536
then
Unit - Kill (Triggering progress unit)

@Genopath: Go

Thanks! this worked perfectly.

@Cbasz95: Go

You could go into the trigger editor and use the "Set Alliance" action for every combination of players in your initialization trigger.

Currently when units are attacked offscreen the game pings the location and plays the sound "Our forces are under attack." I would like to disable this for my custom map, but have been unable to figure out how to do it. Does anyone know?
