Switching units for a shapeshifter hero
How do I switch units effectively? The problem is that sometimes the units might glitch and more than 1 will end up on the playfield.
There are 8 different units which I have to switch.

Have a storage area for all the units somewhere, and when it's time to switch, do a "center PlayerLocation on Unit X", "move Unit X from PlayerLocation to Storage", and "move Unit Y from Storage to PlayerLocation". This is assuming that Unit X is the unit you were using already, and Unit Y is the one you're switching to.
If you don't want them to be able to see the storage area, you can just give Unit X to another player (like Player 9) before moving to to storage, and giving the new unit to them after it is moved out of storage.

What Az said will work but make sure you pay attention to details such as:
"Unit x" means that you move a specific unit type, e.g. Terran Space Marine, as opposed to [men] or [any unit].
Another reason why you might end up with more than 1 units on the playing field is that the original unit might not successfully move to the storage area. To ensure it works do the "center PlayerLocation on Unit X" in the same trigger that moves the unit to storage. Also make sure storage is large enough.

Oh_Man -- Hope that makes sense. Also artosiscast just dropped a 1 hour vid he analayses a bunch of its games. The TLDR is the maphack is responsible for a large percentage of its wins because its just hard countering zerg rushes[05:14 am]
Oh_Man -- It's EMULATING the behaviour of a control group select and move without having the actual functionality to do that[05:13 am]
Oh_Man -- VraelVrael shouted: yeah but it looks like pluto's eAPM is still 6000 based on issuing all those orders
k the APM is inflated because it issues 12 identical orders individually. Its not 12 unique orders[03:02 am]
Vrael -- which does reduce down to the same tradeoff I mentioned below, aka trading APM for time, but still interesting[03:01 am]
Vrael -- and while the reaver was reloading it used that time to aggregate enough marine/tank to fend it off[03:01 am]
Vrael -- like its micro vs one of the in-base reaver drops was pretty insane, basically it made the reaver spend 1 scarab per unit instead of 1 scarab for many workers/units[02:58 am]
Vrael -- all the stuff I've said below is based on the actual gameplay vs some strong human performers, seems like the bot just has unfair advantages, but its also doing some cool stuff[02:57 am]
Vrael -- NimoStarNimoStar shouted: If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
I mean human brains trained the bot too, its not completely infeasible for the bot to actually be strong in certain scenarios
