Alright, what I'm trying to do is move a location down the path of observers.
They all start out as P12 observers.



Actions:
  • Give 1 Protoss Observer owned by Player 7 at 'RIVER 2x2' to Player 8
  • Give 1 Protoss Observer owned by Player 6 at 'RIVER 2x2' to Player 7
  • Give 1 Protoss Observer owned by Neutral at 'RIVER 2x2' to Player 6
  • Center location labeled 'RIVER 2x2' on Protoss Observer owned by Player 6 at 'RIVER 2x2'
  • Preserve Trigger

It works for a while, and then stops here. Why?




None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Attach map and we'll find out.

Things that could happen:
-somehow misplaced Observer
-Observer was placed for the wrong player
-ai moves the observer

Quick fixing idea:
-make the location 2.5x2.5. That could help (but something else should happen there)

How does it 'stop'?

Does the observer you're pointing at end up being owned by P6, P7, P8 or Nuetral?. Who are the observers on either side owned by.



None.

By rights we should close this, but just in the future remember it


What could be happening, is if maybe another air unit passes by it it could mess them up, or the observers might all be touching each other just enough to push them out of alignment just far enough for your 2x2 location to not be able to reach that one observer.

It was that! Solved. :)

Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen
[05:25 pm]
Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
