Blizzard’s Karune has released Batch 30 of the StarCraft II Q&A questions, this time focusing on map-maker support.
Check it:
1) Will it be possible to code the game so map makers can make maps where people can stop incoming spells/missiles?
This should be possible through customized ability data and/or triggers.
2) Will we have selectable male/female of every unit?
No, we don’t have plans to include male and female versions of each unit.
3) Will we have the option to give players the option to change weapons in-game?
While we don’t have any plans for a specialized interface for this, it would be possible using the highly flexible ability system. Continued…
