Hey, two questions:

I've set a location and a second location, and I was wondering how to move the unit from the 1st loc to the 2nd, not by using the "move" trigger, like, I want to actually see the unit move(dropship fly) to the location, not just instantaneously go there.

And I set the players colors but everytime I try the map(just myself - with other teams set as cpus) the colors always change and I want that to stop.

Thank you very much!
Adefic

Use the Order action. :) And player colors only work in Broodwar, so if your map is a .scm, they automatically go away.

I don't know if you mean that the colors you set customly , like green, don't work in-game but if you mean that you have player 1 as red and you get a different color that might be because you have random start locations on. Just uncheck that and you will be good to go.

Also, to move a unit physically do this

SCM Draft: Order (NUMBER OF UNITS) (UNIT) to Move to (LOCATION 2) from (LOCATION 1)

StarForge: Order(1, Unit, Location 2, Move, Location 1);

I don't know if that is correct SCM Draft syntax as I use starforge for triggering but thats pretty close to it.

Thanks, Kyle

Alternatively there are warps:

Move all units at location X to location Y.
Add variables as neccessary.

Colour Flopping is occured when Random Start Locations is checked, they will randomly change.
Setting BroodWar colours to play in an Original game I beleive will not work, and the player will revert to its original colour.
Note: Original can only support 64 locations, Original sucks. :bleh:
