UnholyUrine Post #1

Hi all, and thanks for helping!

I am trying to create a 1x1 mobile grid which centers a 3x3 grid, and then four 1x1 locations, labeled N, E, S, W, to be centered 1x location respectively for their directions. This is so that I can detect whether a building is to the North/East/South/West of a unit.

Right now, here is my code

The Grid

Players

Player 8

Conditions

Switch("Switch3", set);

Actions

Comment("The Grid");

Preserve Trigger();

Set Switch("Switch3", clear);

Remove Unit At Location("Player 8", "Zerg Scourge", All, "Grid");

Create Unit("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", 1, "Grid");

Create Unit("Player 11", "Protoss Observer", 1, "Grid");

Create Unit("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", 1, "Grid");

Create Unit("Player 11", "Protoss Observer", 1, "Grid");

Create Unit("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", 1, "Grid");

Create Unit("Player 11", "Protoss Observer", 1, "Grid");

Create Unit("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", 1, "Grid");

Create Unit("Player 11", "Protoss Observer", 1, "Grid");

Create Unit("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", 1, "Grid");

Move Location("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", "Grid", "W");

Remove Unit At Location("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", 1, "Grid");

Remove Unit At Location("Player 11", "Protoss Observer", 2, "Grid");

Move Location("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", "Grid", "N");

Remove Unit At Location("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", 1, "Grid");

Move Location("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", "Grid", "S");

Remove Unit At Location("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", 2, "Grid");

Move Location("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", "Grid", "E");

Remove Unit At Location("Player 11", "Zerg Scourge", 1, "Grid");

Remove Unit At Location("Player 11", "Protoss Observer", 2, "Grid");

I have a set of triggers that creates and kills probes at the N, E, S, W locations, but when I activate the switch, the probes are not exploding at a nice North East South West pattern. They seem to be bunched up, meaning the locations are not centered on the right units.

Can anyone help? I am unfamiliar with mobile grids in which the grid, and the directions within it must never fail.

Thanks

None.

Math + Physics + StarCraft = Zoan

Maybe remove is removing the units in with an incorrect "prioritization" or whatever?

Try setting up the N E S W locations as you are first creating the Scourges and Observers, maybe that would get it to work.

Edit: Oh wait, one thing about mobile grids that I just remembered:

I thought you always create the last unit for a different player (e.g. Player 12) and then move locations onto that player's unit.

Then at the end you remove units for both players (P11 and P12).

Also, maybe I'm crazy, but can you create units for Neutral Players directly?

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
