If you're not willing to use a coordinate system (which is a bad choice, believe me; it is very simple so set up), then you can either use only mobile grids (grossly ineffective) or just order two cloacked wraiths to move from one unit to the other (where they collide is the middle point; this method is really slow though).
The thing is This is a large map, and would require what 128*2 locations for a 128x128 map? Considering this is a noncritical part of the map, that seems a lot more ineffective than just changing the idea 8)
So you people think that the mobile grid solution described above will work? Would it not require 1 cycle per unit created (due to needing to check where they meet after each unit added)?
You're talking about a
Location Grid. I was talking about a
Coordinate System. Those are two different things. A
Coordinate System requires 3 or 5 locations only (depends on how you set it up). Besides, if you incorporate a
Coordinate System, you will be able to use it for many other things, which will untimately
save you many locations.
None.

I don't see anything about it in the wiki

None.
it will create a spell effect at the mid point between two units.
None.
crutex, after you actually read this article, post any questions you may have in this topic.
None.
