Command Center Not Getting Placed

So i made a trigger where when you lift off command center it gets destroyed and makes a new one (by making the location only check for air units) but for some reason, when i lift it off, it gets destroyed but when it makes a new one, i get the big "ERRRK" and unit unplaceable thing. I used starforge and made an exactly 3x4 square that the CC gets placed on, is that the problem? how do i fix it? :-(

Also how do u get minerals in staredit.net?

Is it too close to minerals or vespene, and is the ground you are recreating it on placeable?

You post, or play the games.

By useful posts you get minerals. Once you have enough you can try your luck at games.

Make sure the terrain you place the cc is buildable. Although you can preplace anywhere, via triggers you only can create on buildable terrain.
3x4 is fine. Even 1 pixel would be fine. It just depends on the 3x4 terrain underneath the center of the location.

Neither of those are true.

is some other trigger creating a unit there and removes it right after?

Sometimes the location is just a little too small for the unit, try giving it a little more space and see if it works.

Thank you all for your posts, but after like half an hour of playing around, i found that those like "independent starport" things that look like scouts (which I was using for help messages) don't actually fly; they were hovering over the place where the command center was. :unsure:

Thanks anyway! :dontgetit:

Oh, lol, yeah, those units are actually buildings, they just don't have their own image so they take the image of the scout.

They can also be renamed and used as buildings or units, or props, or ornaments, or pie!

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
