This blog is SUPER great and goes into a lot of detail on Brood War's inner workings: I for one am a huge fan of this kind of stuff as it adds a lot more flavor and depth to the game, which is evident as we are still currently discussing basic mechanics that, although subtle, have not been fully understood for 20+ years. This is likely due to the fact that just moving the unit at a constant velocity would look 'off', as it would not match the bounding gait of the Zergling as it moved. Rather than just translocating a Zergling 'X' px to the right or left on each frame, the zergling follows an iscript that move them a in the following repeating pattern of px per frame. Another example is how move speed applies to zerglings. I think this applies here where we see that the general splash formula applies differently on different units. Although I am confident that Blizzard used objects in C++ to create a lot of things in Broodwar, there are a lot more 'special cases' in old games where programmers grabbed values from an object's data structure and ran them specific scripts to add flavor to the game. rather that just creating an 'object' for units, animations, flingys etc, and just altering a few values here and there to add diversity to the game. A lot of this has to do with the fact that object-oriented programming was a lot less pervasive and less popular at the time, meaning that different parts of a games assets and scripts where made from scratch for each unit, attack, animation etc. #63 Something to keep in mind when exploring the inner workings of older games (I'd say any games from the mid 2000s and before) is that they tend to be a lot LESS formulaic compared to today's standards, and a lot less conclusions can be correctly drawn from analyzing the game's data.

Feel free to respond if you want me to find the map I used for testing to post it Every time the corsair attacks, ONE and ONLY ONE Mutalisk will die, despite the fact that all the Mutas are within 5px of one another.Īnyways, just an interesting quirk that most people don't know about. Set game speed to slowest (use the '-' key), and stack the Mutas hard and fly around the Corsair. Group the Mutalisks with a larva to stack, and stack them HEALIVY.

Add a singular CPU Corsair to the map, add full group of 11 mutas for the player. An example of how I tested this on a map for the corsair: set Neutron Flare damage to 200, set Mutalisk armor to 100 and health to 40. I have tested this extensively and would be happy to provide test maps or directions to anyone looking to confirm. Yes that is correct, both the Valk and the Sair deal 100% damage to ONLY ONE UNIT PER SHOT.

It uses the inner radius (5px for both Corsair and Valkyrie) to FIND its intended initial target, and deal 100% to ONLY THAT UNIT. The game doesn't just scan each region to determine the splash damage amount. The broodwar Air-to-air splash units (Valk, Sair, Devo) are more complicated. A siege tank, for example, is very simple, A target either takes 100%, 50%, or 25% dmg based on its distance to the attack epicenter. I know that it is often labeled as an inner, medium, and outer radius with accompanying pixel lengths, but how the game internally decides what to do with that information is hidden from us and not necessarily intuitive. I also want to make a clarification on a misunderstanding on 'inner splash radius' as it pertains to air to air splash. I will try to find a clip of this as I saw it recently in either an ASL or Artosis stream. I have seen VODs where a goliath volley will shoot and one missile will land on the target, dealing damage, and the second missile will land far short and 'miss' dealing no damage. using System.#62 I am very certain that the 1/256 miss chance DOES apply to anti air attacks. The rest is in the script below, it turns the boolean to true again after 5 seconds. I have created a static boolean in the player script calledĬanRegenerate = true This boolean turns false when player takes dmg. It almost works, right now it auto regenerates hp 5 seconds after taking dmg, however if i take dmg during those 5 seconds it still keeps regenerating. I am currently trying to script an auto hp regenerate script, similar to games like halo where you regain health after some time of not taking dmg.
