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.

Oh_Man -- where they use third party audioprogram called WWISE which basically makes adding audio extremely difficult

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.
