. So all im asking for is a explanation of what is it, how to set up triggers for it, and any other information about it that i may need. Sorry im so stupid and have to ask stuff a lot

I have heard about this from a lot of people, yet i have no idea of what it is or wat its good for. I'm always willing to learn something new about mapping to help improve my skills .

A mobile grid is a set of locations that follow a particular unit (Optional) and can create units at a certain point in the grid, and with burrowed unit's can also supply added feature's. I myself haven't mastered how to set up one of these grids, but I'm fairly clear on the concept of what it is. Uses for these mobile grids are that of arena maps and sophisticated RPG's I believe.

A "Mobile Grid" is a method of detecting anything around your unit that your center location is set on(A unit that can be detected via triggers easily by moving a trigger constantly over it)... including in any direction for e.g. 3 x 3 gird detects in north south east and west also the diagonal directions north east - north west - south east - south west then finally center

Whenever a set number of units within a location have an action applied to them they are picked in the following order.
Left-Most first. Then if the units have the same X coordinate then the Uppermost is picked first. This is the "Algorithm" your referring to.
It is essentially the same for actions that pick units in a location. Specifically the "Give Units" and "Center Location" as what is being taken advantage of here.

To put it simply, a mobile grid is a method to place locations around your hero, instead of centered on him.
With that you can do a number of things. For example shoot a missile (e.g. scourge) in a certain direction, detect from which angle enemies are coming, create explosion effects in a pattern, and much more.
I suggest reading our wiki article on mobile grids. It's not only about mobile grids, but also on grids in general. If you don't care about other grids just scroll down to Mobile Grids.

The easiest mobile grid to set up would be 9 devourers to detect or display a square around the area.

Interesting wiki... I find it especially interesting to see a tutorial for my coordinate unit-less grid now apparently named "Location Grid".

Yes I understand that, and I want complaining about the lack of being recognized. I just found it surprising cause I wasn't aware that other people had experimented with that kind of system since I haven't kept up with SC1 map making for about 5 years. A lot of the feedback at the time consist of 'WTFs' about how useless it was. Ether way the link to Reflector was enough to get my weekly ego boost. I'd like to see the kind of maps people have used the technique for as hadn't expanded on the concept much.
None.
Well the staredit wiki fourms won't get much put in to it about people just the concepts\
since as i found out it takes a while to get names down
