Center Location on a Scan Sweep?

Hi, is it possible to center a location on a scanner sweep created by the terran comsat add-on?
I know its possible to detect a scanner sweep with the condition "Player X Commands at least 1 Scanner Sweep at Anywhere" and such... but center location always centers on the middle of the map :(



None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

You can only detect that the player has a scanner sweep used as a detector. But that is not very accurate.
So I would suggest to say: It's possible, but you should think about a "no".

The best you can do is to set up a grid of Observers belonging to a computer, and when the Sweep goes off, give it to a player you know will not be allied with the computer who controls the the observers. Then create a bunch of Scourge and figure out where there are not Observers belonging to the computer.



None.

Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen
[2026-7-12. : 5:25 pm]
Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
