I have a 3x3 mobile grid being on top of a unit every time it moves, but now the unit's movement isn't smooth like it's supposed to and it moves jaggedly.

Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, that is the problem with Mobile Grids. The Rule is, whenever you create or move an Air unit over a Ground unit, it slows it down temporarily.

Here are your options (as i see them), and the best one depends on what your scenario is.
1) Use the Mobile grid less, either by taking off hyper triggers or having it every X amount of trigger cycles, or you can add in a wait command.
2) Use a Coordinate Grid/Location Grid. This is very advanced, complex, and will take very extensive amounts of triggers, locations, and strings to create. However, it doesn't lag, and can detect any point on the map.
3) Use a different Grid, such as a static unit grid, or something. You can view possible grids here.

Or you can increase the size of the location that detects when the unit has moved, and that will smooth out the movement a bit more.

:payne:

We can slow down air units with down units now? I don't think so :bleh:



None.

Oh, sorry, My bad. Creating or moving Ground units under Air units does not slow down the air unit.



None.

Thanks for replying. I used a coordinate grid instead and it worked fine for me.

NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
