I need assistance for creating triggers for Mind control moving.

I saw this Idea from Millenniumarmy's Mini-game map. In one minigame, players are Dark Archons that must dodge moving overlords. Their only mobility is to Mind Control neutral Civilians placed grid-like. When a player MC's a civ, the archon moves on that civ spot and that civ disappears. If player touches an overlord, he/she dies. Last player standing wins the mini-game.

My question: I like to know how to make this work. Here is my grid like Millenniumarmy's :



You're a Dark Archon and must mc 'hop' to the top and avoid touching Overlords.



None.

When you MC, the unit is given to you, most likely MA places a burrowed unit under it when you MC it, and then when you MC another, a location cycles through them and checks for the one without the zergling, then moves it there. If you have 4 or less players, you could also use Neutral players.

Oh wait, forgot that the civilian is given back when you MC it, yeah, that works too, just center a location on it and then give it back or kill it and replace it with the unit.

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.
