Bassically MCVs
I know how to make the unit deploy,
my question is, how do I make them deploy only when there is room for the structure?

This is the code I got so far

I know, I got the same problem with TD MCVs in TFTW, it seems it cannot be done, atleast code-wise, but I've been thinking maybe it could be scripted on a map, define trigger areas where the 'upgrade' only works?

[juLLe]

you could try your idea with an combination of the gla´s attack tunnel logic ...

[CodeCat]

I'm having the exact same problem (not surprisingly ). Right now it uses ReplaceObjectUpgrade but that's obviously only half a solution.

We thought about the sneak attack ourselves, but the main problem with that is that it just creates an OCL, it doesn't affect the owner of the special power in any way. So you can create the CY without problems, but you could create it anywhere on the map, and the MCV would stay. But if someone knows of a brilliant way to make it work, then I'm all ears!
