In this map, I have a system where, if the player unloads the firebat (jump skill), they will jump a few tiles forward in the next direction they move.

So for my system, I first do the using of the skill, then once the player moves out the of the .75 x .75 location that was centered on him, nine scourges are created. A scourge keeps being removed and a location re-centered until the player's ghost is found under a scourge. Then, using the count of the number of scourges that were removed (let's name it Y) it teleports the person's ghost to that location, creates 9 marines (ground units so you can't jump over walls), and removes Y marines, doing the location again, etc., until 3 tiles.

But it doesn't work. The player's ghost doesn't go in the correct direction. =/

Edit: I completely misread the problem

I'm looking through it right now.

I haven't tried this, but if you make a mobile grid around your unit, but make the mobile grid follow along slightly slower, then you can determine which location your unit went into and therefore which direction.

Scourges are not 1x1, a combination of scourges and observers is closer, the best way is to just have a test that slowly removes them one by one, so you can find the true order and make grids based on that.

I got it to work using a slightly different system, with corsairs instead of scourges. When the player moves, it creates a grid on top of the new location of the ghost, then wherever the grid overlaps with where the ghost was originally, it moves in the opposite direction.

You created 9 scourges, but only go to remove 8 of them when checking the Y. You need to remove the center scourge or else you won't be getting the correct direction.
Also, you have the 9 marines around the ghost, which is like having 10 units. So change the create 9 marines to 8 marines, and delete the last movement trigger.

What editor are you using?

I took out the marines and just decided to use a different system to stop high jumping. It's now all corsairs.

I use SCMDraft2.

Does it all work now?? If not, upload it again.

It works.

Thanks anyway though.
