How do I prevent units from moving ? Not just a specific unit for a specific player. Must all units. I've seen it done before. I think it will help with some ideas I've had.

If I'm not mistaken, by making a location "outside" of the map boundaries, and constantly move all units for all players to that location.

Awesome! Thank you.

Does it matter where? Top left? Bottom right? How far in does it have to go? I will try and play around with it later.

Actually it's enough to move it anywhere where the unit cannot go. This could be a (fairly large) occupied air space for air units, water/cliff for ground units or just somewhere outside the map.

Really doesn't matter where, as long as the unit can't actually be moved there.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
