Custom Map #258: The UDF (Pt. 3). Game Bug

[chwooly]

This map appears broken, It starts paused as it should, but after repositioning the HQ and unpausing the HQ doesn't move, the timer doesn't start, Particles are created according to the particle counter but none appear on the map.

Yeah, looks like the prpl is trying to clear the tracelog, which only exists when in edit mode (if you you have ever been in edit mode).  I'll fix this up...
In the mean time, the way to play the mission is to start the game, enter any map in the editor, exit the editor.  Then, you can play the map.  When you first enter the editor it creates the debug log that the PRPL call wants.

That worked well, Now I have another bug

Spoiler

After the emmiters get flipped by collection the data cache the gem factory in the upper left doesn't issue gems, The omni's just sit there lazing it but it never gets sent any energy from the mine and there are still 2 gems left to get.

I wrote that script. The gem factory is notionally an enemy unit at that point, making it require an enemy unit to give it power (probably, based on the results of some tests with enemy Omnis). I don't know why the Omnis lathe it, but it may be because it is enemy and at least sometimes targetable, so they try to kill it, but the factory gains health when Lathed.

Speaking of which, if that is the problem, is it possible to set a structure to have different behaviour when lathed? Such as factories building rather than dying, or gems/pickups filling that red bar?

I ran into the issue of not grabbing the Omni before getting the info cache.  I know it said I should get everything, but it wasn't telling me if I don't grab everything first the level is uncompletable.

So, I grabbed the cache, and it turned the Omni into a flipped omni or something...and then when my omni's lathed it, it turned into a red omni icon.  And now I can't grab it.  :(  Thus I can't finish the mission.

Yes, it is bugged. The script is being rewritten for a reupload, so as to avoid this.
