Hello

Simple question:

If you are creating for example 50 mutalisks at the same time in a location which is big enough, there just comes errors like: couldn't create unit at (bla bla bla)
so... is there any way to fix that???

this topic can be closed when i get at least 1 answer with some adivce

all you could do is find out how many mutas come per location. unit create goes by the center of the location. so say you have a 100x100 loc (example only) then u should make 4 25x25 locations. then u could make x amount at each location...



None.

Location size does not matter for creating units. There's simply a maximum range from the center of the location where units can be created.

Create the units burrowed if you can.

I case of mutas create them in several waves and order them to the center. Once one wave of mutas arrived at the center create the next wave, etc.

A temporary location can help you get rid of the error: Create a several units in a secluded are of the map where you can easily control their numbers, as no other units can get there. Whenever you need units in your "main location" move them there. Trying to move to a overfilled area does not cause the error message (though you still have to make room there to successfully teleport them).

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.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
