Science Vessels and Inverted Locations

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.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

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.

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.
yeh thts straight up cheating
