Center locs a + b on the unit, A is 2x2, b is 5x5, when player brings 0 units to a, move unit at b to a

You can also constantly move it off the map, which will work for air units. If you encounter problems with it not being attackable/attacking, you can use an inverted location to make it stand still by detecting when it's not in that location (which should be as soon as it moves 1 pixel in any direction).

They can, although they have trouble locking on to a target, and other units attacking them often miss, and also have difficulty targeting them.



None.

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
