How do i make it so that once conditions are met, a unit will be created by one player's specific unit? Ive seen this in many maps and was wondering how

You simply center a location on the other players unit(Move Location in some editors) and then create the unit at that location.

Heres what i tried:


Conditions

Player X kills Y amount of units

Actions:

Center location "anywhere" on unit Terran Marine at Anywhere

Display text maeesge: stuff

Create one Terran firebat at location anywhere

-------------------------------------------------------------------------


I tried this but it wont create the unit by the marine. It just creates it at the center of the map.

display text message
then create the firebat at the location 1

Yeah... The anywhere location is the entire map, and therefore unless you invert the location(don't ask) it will bounce off all the walls, so it is permanently stuck where it is.

A more simple explanation of why it doesn't work:

The Anywhere location is the same size as the entire map. A location can't move outside the map borders. So if you try to move the Anywhere to location to anywhere else, it will have to make part of itself go outside the map border (impossible). Since it can't do this, the location stays in the only spot it can without going outside the map border: The middle.
