# Editor improvements
## Custom resource areas: (c. DF)
- You can now override default resource areas via this tech from DF! Instructions are below.
- Draw locations around resources.
- Name the locations `RESAREA_#`, where `#` is a number between `1` and `249`.
- You can use multiple locations with the same name for the same resarea id.
- When using multiple locations, append `+` at the end of the location you intend to use for the resarea's center. If not appended, the game will choose the earliest-created location as the center.
## Triggers
- Custom triggers which accept `unit_id` bitsets now accept a new `military` keyword that filters out workers and non-military units (e.g. traps, missiles, Stewards, etc)
- **unit_count** now accepts an additional parameter **completed** (defaults to false) for exclusively tracking completed units
- Functionality has been restored to **player_type** (r. Kenoli)
- **NEW:** `tyrannize`:
- Applies the effects of the Protoss Tyranny of the Sun cornerstone to designated units
- **NEW:** `highlight_unit`:
- Causes selection circle flickers akin to unit transmissions for designated units.
