Attempt to recreate the 'stashes' from the CW3 Cornucanis maps.
Single very configurable script. Absorber unit can be setup to absorb either/both creep and AC, with multipliers for each, with a maximum capacity and how it reacts once full. It also has features such as emptying or filling itself over time.
Script is commented and what each setting does should be well explained in the script itself.
When selecting the unit, the UI labels are updated to reflect the script settings of the unit. This works even while the game is paused or in edit mode, allowing map makers to check their settings without unpausing or playing the map.
Example:
In this example the Aborber is setup to only absorb creep, filling by only 1 creep for every 10 creep it absorbs, and ignoring AC entirely.
Its contents will decrease by 10 per second (since it absorbs only creep at a ratio of 10:1, this is effectively immune to creep flows below 100 creep per second.)
It is also setup to self fill with AC at a rate of 20 per second (even though it cannot absorb AC from the world). But since it also empties at a rate of 10 per second, it effectively only fills with AC at a rate of 10 per second.
It is setup to spill its contents once it gets full.
