The Intersection
You are an elite Hydralisk. Ordered by the Queen to search for a new breeding zone. After several days you have come across to this vast green land. Unfortunately, it is one of the most busy intersection point of Terran between their trading cities... Your job as an elite hydralisk is to kill all terran that come across and cut off their communication!
What is this in short?
- 3rd person action role playing game! (Hack & Slash)

Posted Aug 26, 2010This map is currently broken after sc2 went live. This map was made during the beta. I am fixing things up and will upload a fixed version for live as soon as possible.

Posted May 25, 2010Its data editor stuff. You can edit occlusion under models in the data editor. For characters, you want them to have occlusion: show. For doodads you want it to hide, go to the doodad model, and change the occlusion to hide. Hope that helps [:

Posted May 24, 2010Hey Jeff, i've been trying to learn a thing or two from your map, havent been stealing code or anything...just seeing how you did things. (= I saw in one of your updates that you added Occlusion, but i couldn't find where you did it. Is it a trigger, or is it a camera setting in the data editor?

I will look into it, i think i will add some counter measures so that it won't get stuck. The stuck should be a rare case but a serious one. Thanks for the feedback, and i am happy that you enjoy it and give it a 2nd try [:
@sixtynine1593

Posted May 20, 2010So i just played your map again on my desktop, as i had been playing on my laptop with lower settings. I didn't tweak any of the settings this time, and i was really enjoying it on the high graphic settings and I noticed that you did in fact have radial effects that i couldnt see before because of the low settings. But for some reason this time when i played it, after destroying the towers when it asked me if I wanted to skip the cinematic on the boss, I said no...and it got stuck on the beginning of the cinematic with the hydralisk just standing there. Not sure why it didnt do this on my laptop. Anyway, still a great map...hope you can fix that bug. (=

Posted May 20, 2010Great map! I especially enjoyed the second part of the game, where you have to destroy the thor.

Posted May 19, 2010I'm very impressed Jeff, enough so that I registered just to leave a comment. I have to agree that the map is a bit dark, if there is a way to make it a little less dark that would be good. I honestly just went into your triggers and disabled the night effect. You have made a really cool looking level, and I see the effect you were trying to achieve but it makes it difficult to enjoy the gameplay when you cant see everything. Maybe you can put some sort of radial light that follows the character. Besides the lighting, the gameplay is very fun...the spawning and threat levels are awesome, you reallly get a sense of rising tension. I will say that its a bit on the difficult side, but it does feel really balanced maybe give a little more energy though, the mobs can be overwelming with just a melee attack. I haven't beat it yet and I admit I tweeked the ranged attack to be unlimited and its still pretty tough. I also like the trader "health packs". I was suprised when I got to the second phase, i really wasnt expecting more, and you went and made a really cool battle...that part is really hard!!! I look forward to beating your map and seeing more maps like this from you.

Thanks, glad you enjoy it! I base my control on madballs in babo game. I may or may not change to WoW style camera in the future. Still trying out stuff to make things smooth.
@JerreyRough

Posted May 11, 2010I am applauding you work sir. This was a very well done map. The only thing that took a little bit for me to get used to was the way the camera moved/aimed.
