Hi, this applies to any map which would use temporarily spawned hydralisks as an attacking spell or custom triggered weapon.

I've found hydralisks, when created, are always created facing south-east.
If I create the hydralisk for 12 deathcounts (hyper triggers ofcourse) and then remove it, it sometimes fails to attack stuff northwest of it since it has to turn a full 180, but it will attack stuff southeast of it twice.
If I increase the death count it attacks stuff twice alot while only once northwest of it.
If I decrease the death count to make sure it attacks only once, it completely fails to hit stuff northwest of it.

I tried to fix it by having a buffer where hydralisks are created. They turn around randomly over time, so i hoped to give the hydralisk a random facing that way.
This didnt work though cause the left-most one always got chosen and it was the most recently created in the buffer.

I tried also using patrol command but a similar pattern occured. The hydralisk was always facing north.

Theoretical solution: fix your buffer so that it actually gives you a varying angle. You mentioned a possible solution but then said that you failed to finish a fully functional version of it.

Randomize the hydralisk spawning, make it sometimes face north by ordering them, and make them sometimes spawn facing south by normally spawning them, may not be the best solution, but I think it'd be the most fair solution to the problem.

Note: You have to change the (player) numbers in the following example to fit your map.
Have your buffer always contain 20 hydras owned by P9. (Kill excess hyds and add 1 if < 20)
Now your spell activates and you want to move 5 hydras,
so you give 15 hydras at buffer to P10 and move 5 hydras for P9.
Then give the 5 hydras at the spell area to the casting player
and 15 hydras at buffer to P9.
After 12 death counts move the 5 hydras back to buffer and give them to P9-

Thanks guys!
So far I've made Ultimo's solution and it works decently. See attached if you feel like it.

EDIT: 13 Death Counts works a little better overall for Hydralisk.

I use 12 DC for Marine, Ghost
17 DC for Dragoon which i might still decrease a bit, but Dragoon does need a moment to "open up its hatch"
11 DC for Goliath (they shoot twice a fair bit at 12! I might even try 10!)
