If you go down it says to use devourers. Mutalisks *might* be okay too.

Mutalisks, Guardians, Devourers, and Arbiters all work equally as well for "2x2" mobile grids. Scourge/Observer alternations work for 1x1 mobile grids.

The link shadow provided should be more than enough information regarding actual implementation.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

devs make your map automatically save to scx, so you don't have the annoying scm problem, and they're air to air only, making them fairly useless for most other purposes.

devs/mutas/arbs/guards are all the same size (exactly 1.5 squares) so it doesn't matter which one you pick. By combining 1.5x and 1.0x grids, you can effectively make a 0.5x grid (like serglings will make after the first zergling is created) It unfortunately takes quite a bit of intuition to be able to trigger such a system, and usually a 1.5x grid is perfect.

Removing them just makes them dissapear without any animation.

the link I provided says:

The units of this grid are created in the following pattern: 7 6 5 8 1 4 9 2 3

To center a location on the desired unit, one must know the order in which the units are selected by SC: 3 4 7 2 6 8 1 5 9

Thus, to center a location on the middle-right grid point (in the above diagram, represented by '8'), one must first remove 7 units from the grid and then center the location. If one could see triggers in slow-motion, this is how the creation and removal (or in this case, killing) of Devourers would occur.

Then it shows a picture.

4x4 grid is different. I'm a bit lost there TBH.



None.

Oh_Man -- have i ever told u guys my SC2 pro-gamer story

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.
[03:14 pm]
ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
