Hello

Simple question:

If you are creating for example 50 mutalisks at the same time in a location which is big enough, there just comes errors like: couldn't create unit at (bla bla bla)
so... is there any way to fix that???

this topic can be closed when i get at least 1 answer with some adivce

all you could do is find out how many mutas come per location. unit create goes by the center of the location. so say you have a 100x100 loc (example only) then u should make 4 25x25 locations. then u could make x amount at each location...



None.

Location size does not matter for creating units. There's simply a maximum range from the center of the location where units can be created.

Create the units burrowed if you can.

I case of mutas create them in several waves and order them to the center. Once one wave of mutas arrived at the center create the next wave, etc.

A temporary location can help you get rid of the error: Create a several units in a secluded are of the map where you can easily control their numbers, as no other units can get there. Whenever you need units in your "main location" move them there. Trying to move to a overfilled area does not cause the error message (though you still have to make room there to successfully teleport them).

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
