Hey, two questions:

I've set a location and a second location, and I was wondering how to move the unit from the 1st loc to the 2nd, not by using the "move" trigger, like, I want to actually see the unit move(dropship fly) to the location, not just instantaneously go there.

And I set the players colors but everytime I try the map(just myself - with other teams set as cpus) the colors always change and I want that to stop.

Thank you very much!

Use the Order action. :) And player colors only work in Broodwar, so if your map is a .scm, they automatically go away.

I don't know if you mean that the colors you set customly , like green, don't work in-game but if you mean that you have player 1 as red and you get a different color that might be because you have random start locations on. Just uncheck that and you will be good to go.

Also, to move a unit physically do this

SCM Draft: Order (NUMBER OF UNITS) (UNIT) to Move to (LOCATION 2) from (LOCATION 1)

StarForge: Order(1, Unit, Location 2, Move, Location 1);

I don't know if that is correct SCM Draft syntax as I use starforge for triggering but thats pretty close to it.

Thanks, Kyle

Alternatively there are warps:

Move all units at location X to location Y.
Add variables as neccessary.

Colour Flopping is occured when Random Start Locations is checked, they will randomly change.
Setting BroodWar colours to play in an Original game I beleive will not work, and the player will revert to its original colour.
Note: Original can only support 64 locations, Original sucks. :bleh:

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
