Center View

is the trigger you are looking for, but the downfall to using it is that your mouse pointer will be always centered in the exact center of the screen.

Only if you are in 1-player mode.

Make a location constantly center on the unit, and have a trigger that continues centering on that location. You should use hypertriggers, but if you don't put a wait before the centering, then the jagged movement of the screen is very annoying.

I find it more annoying to have a wait there, since it has to move farther each time.

Note the other difference that in Single Player, CENTER VIEW pans the screen relatively slowly to the selected location, whereas in multiplayer, the screen snaps to the location instantly.

This can affect certain visual effects where you are trying to mask a change of map position (panning across the map can ruin effects).

You forgot that it also acts as a wait while it is panning, and since it takes so long it's a great way to detect one-player mode or not.

That's only in 1-player mode.

Edit: whoops, someone already said that.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
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.
