Grabbing regions attached to Units

Is there a way to essentially do this?

Unit - Create 1 Auto-Turret for player (Killing player) at (Center of Region Attached to (Dying Unit)) facing (Random angle) degrees (Ignore placement)

I can't seem to find a way to call the Region that's attached to the dying unit.. just the unit that's attached to a specified region.

Any thoughts?



None.

Don't bother with the region. You just need the point of the dying unit, correct? Regions shouldn't be handled if you're just concerned with a specific point.

DeadUnitReplaced
    Events
        Unit - Any Unit dies
    Local Variables
        DeathPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit)) <Point>
    Conditions
        (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Auto-Turret
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Auto-Turret for player (Killing player) at DeathPoint facing (Random angle) degrees (Ignore Placement)


If you need an area of the region for some other reason, you can create it dynamically using "Convert Circle to Region" or "Convert Rectangle to Region."

hah yeah in the past that might've been up my alley. haven't really been mapping lately, been too busy with everything else. and kinda lost interest too tbh. just not enough people left on SC to feel worth investing the time personally.
