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!

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:

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
