Creating Units at Location not working

Hey there first time poster. Im making a map and I have a huge location covering most of the map where I want medics to regenerate every few seconds. The trigger is basic so it cannot be wrong as far as my understanding goes. However they keep generating at another location where there is a small cliff. I make no reference to this location at all. Is ther a problem with large locations?



None.

Units should be created at the center of the location, is this location they're being created at even inside the large one? Also, what editor(s) are you using?



None.

Locations 'bump' off of the side of the map. If your location is very large and at the side of the map it will slide the locations over so the entire thing fits within the map boundaries when a location is centered.

There is no 'problem' with large locations though.

you probably shouldnt have a location that big. im not sure why if you wanted it to just regenrate medics you wouldnt make it like 9x9 at most.

i would say just simply use a small location and it should fix your problem. and also check all your other triggers that may have a move command or somthing effect the medics.

yeah this other location is inside the larger one i wish to be the generator. but i solved the problem by creating smaller zones within the map where they regenerate in turn. im usingg xtra editor. I havent made a map since like 2000 so this is all pretty rad and new to me.

I recommend SCMDraft 2. It is worth it to learn it.

NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
