Good ol' cut and paste.

Getting tired of me yet? ;)

Ok by popular demand (or at least just a few well-timed PMs prompting me to take a break from my other long-ass projects), I cooked these two up over the last two days or so. I figured there were like a zillion ways I could improve the speed of my calculator map, especially for multiplication and division, and therefore I declare this to be the fastest-running implementation with Starcraft triggers possible (consider that a challenge ;).)

The other goody I made in my spare time, just recently, believe it or not (I'm usually late to learn about all the newest tricks in editing, since I'm more into hardcore trigger functionality than silly tricks) is bolt's old interceptor move trick. I'm posting it unlocked to show how it works, and because I told bolt a while back I'd ruin his fun and post it public once I figured it out on my own. ;) Actually no, the real reason is someone asked about it and I couldn't really explain it to them, so I went and did some experimenting and figured it out for myself (I knew it had something to do with those two AI scripts)

They are both unlocked, since I didn't really spend a huge amount of time on either of them to warrant being paranoid about protection, and because that would kinda defeat the purpose of them anyway. Enjoy!

P.S. Oh, and if you see any bugs (which I expect there to be), well, you know the routine. ;)

A calculator and a funky trick to get interceptors to move where you want them too.

Not too hard to understand I hope.

Tux honestly i think you should keep these type of things to blizzforums. There definitely more advanced for the most part.

Oh well do what you want though :)

Blah, you're right bolt. Just a few of my friends say they refuse to come to blizzforums, but I guess I'm being too nice accomodating them by remaking whatever I post there in here for their benefit (hint hint)

If I actually have a problem with something I normally take it to blizz forums except the SCM Draft one, lol that was about the caprice map. Well actually im pretty sure I posted at least one thread with the account (U)Bolt_Head (before they had that hacker thing) http://www.battleforums.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=11256 but I think all the post have since been deleted.

No it doesn't...the normal dark swarm comes out.
Wait, do you mean on the map, just click play?:confused:

Out of laziness I will refuse to dl either of those :)
Is that the same calculator you had a long long time ago, or did you make a new one?

A new one. And I though of 4 different ways to speed up multiply and divide, so if ever I get unlazy myself I'll make yet another one.

Anyway quit being lazy and check em out. ;)

I already know bolt's trick, and out of concern for personal health, I couldn't bear to look at any more math tonite. :) I win! GJ anyways, I'm sure. Y'know... there's a way you could calculate square roots in SC... no pressure :rollie.

Two ways, actually. One I'd rather not even bother attempting, the other, well, no ****ing way I'm going to touch floating point using starcraft triggers, so I'll call it a big maybe... if I ever decide to actually finish it, that is. :p
