I'm trying to detect when a player moves a hero Science Vessel from its location. For every unit thus far, I've been using DatEdit, finding the unit, and then clicking on the graphics tab. I then use this formula for the coordinates of my location.
Left = Left + Right - 1
Top = Up + Down - 1
Right = 0
Bottom = 0
I then center the location on the appropriate unit. This has seemed to work for every unit thus far. Except, of course, the Science Vessel. The Science vessel has these stats
Left: 32
Right: 32
Up: 33
Down: 16
Which means I should be using a location that is
Left = 63
Top = 48
Right = 0
Bottom = 0
Except that the Science Vessel is never ever found in that location. Ever. What am I doing wrong?
None.
Locations center on the center of the unit. Use this formula:
2(min(left/up,right/down))-1. Those aren't division symbols either.
If the player moves the science vessel directly down, it won't be detected.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered 
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.
