I guess that in that game there's a trigger for that...

Well, all you have to do is to hotkey the drones, and then go somewhere where it should say "Turn the lights on/off", or something like that.

Then, when the lights are off, you can't see your units. But if you press the right key, they'll still be there. Then, you can stack the stuff there.

If there's not a trigger, then there's a cheating hack to do it.

I hate Sunken D, it is the worst ever defense map that has ever been made, in the history of defense maps. Sunken colonies make for no fun in games. Argh! :hbut

But yeah, the only way to stack is to move a specified unit into a certain area (Prolly just a floating platform somewhere) which will turn the lights on/off. You have to hotkey you drone(s) so when the fog of war is all on, you can still click on them and build.

Photon Cannons are the best for the 'stacking'. Probes can warp in extremely fast if you are using hotkeys.

Sunken Defense is one of my favorite UMS games by the way.

Simple it is,

1) Hot key your probe/scv/drone by clicking on it, Then hold ctrl and 1 then let go

2) Turn off lights

3) push 1 and then build (IF it is a dron3 u will need to hot key more then 1 but its easyer to hot key them into a grup and click on one and then build)

Triggers

Triggers are actions that are embedded into the map. You can add triggers using StarEdit.

Hot Keys

A shortcut for selecting a unit. For example, pressing Z would make a Zealot if you had a Gateway selected.

Also, you can hotkey buildings by pressing Ctrl + #. Press this number in the game to select the building fast without having to search for it.

Lights

In games where you can stack buildings, lights on means that you can see everything. Lights off means that fog of war has taken over the screen and you can no longer see anything but buildings.

Fog

Areas you haven't seen are black. Areas you have seen, but are currently not around them are filtered by a greyish haze. You can only see buildings that were there at the time.

Hey, when did any defense map was good? All you do is just survive and kill people and win. Hell, when was there ANY Starcraft map that was good. They have the same pupose-to win.

So? They are still awesome :D

And Viz, that Sunken Defense 2003, it's the only good Sunkend Defense out there :D To turn off the light, at the very bottom of the map, in the middle, is a bunch of Civilians that are on a rectangular piece of platform with two different Terrains, move the Civlian into the other Terrain (The dark one) and Fog of War will be enabled. Move the Civlian back to where it was before to turn the Fog of War off.

Tsk...tsk...tsk. It's always you ruining it for everyone isn't it? :p

I've been playing Sunken Defense 2003 alot lately, i've found out a good strategy, for me anyhow. I get drones for about the first two levels, then from then on, it's all Dragoons. And use the Dragoons to not wall but guide the enemy places, and use the rest to block the holes in the Sunken Colonies, saves you stacking :D
