map glitch?

Nobody could shoot however before time ran out, so I got busy building close range stuff, like stardusts. It didn't turn out great, but oh well.

The script is most simple: the one check that it does is most primitive and lazy. It can be fooled. There are several tricks, jumping is just one.
Stricter script would imo not make it a better map.

More interessting than making super-duper-strict script (technically possible) is to look what players come up with.
But I know of no way that a unit can accidently get across, it all requires some deliberate decision and it is up to players if they want to allow that or see it as lame/cheating.

cast disable on all non-builders?

kaen that replay can not be played (file size 0 kb)
Was there errors?
From comment looks like everything worked as intended:

quote: iwinbutton wins.

iwinbutton has no weapon in the usual sense: it's script destroys units by other means.
(Starlight probally similiar.)
One can imagine many such "specials", so I decided against playing such cat-and-mouse game because it would never end.
As side-effect it adds an interessting layer of experimenting: Players seem to enjoy trying to "beat" the map.

Taking that away does not make the map more fun.
If you do not like it, just agree not to try such things. All "breaking" I know of requires a deliberate decision.

If you want to talk about "spirit of the map" then one should first think how a team even managed to build Starlight or iwinbutton in the first place?

-10 minutes is too long for zK. Use mapoption to make it shorter. (not possible in zero-K lobby)
-play with smaller teams.
-do not put silly metalmult modoption

No idea, the replays are all 0 kb.
I guess with large teams enough and/or metalmulti anything is possible.
