Ok, well, how can you force a Drone/SCV/Probe to pick-up a Crystal/Disc/Flag?

I really dont know how to make it like that... Sorry if this is in the tutorial, I searched Force SCV, Force Drone, then after, I searched alota stuf, but it didint give me anything matching what I want... confused.gif

You just bring the peon unit (drone, probe and SCV) near the powerup and they will automaticaly pick it up. So just use the order trigger and order them to move to where the powerups are.

Pointless to say, but just to confirm. Yes, they automatically pick them up if near enough.

Well if your just listening to them I'd figure that you already know where the powerup is and it is a definite location and it stays there the entire game, then yeah, sure, all you need to do, is just, use the order, then move to the location where the powerup is, but if you want to make it force it to up a powerup and it the location where it is, is random, just use the following triggers.

Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Always
Actions:
¤ Center Location '1' on (powerup) at 'anywhere'
¤ Preserve trigger


Hyper triggers also helps
'1' is the location where the powerup is

Trigger
Conditions:
¤ Always
Actions:
¤ Order Move for SCV(or other peon) owned by (whichever player) to '1'
¤ Preserve Trigger


Also you can add switches as set as another condition to the second trig which is cleared as soon as the peon retreives the powerup, so can move to other places.

Actually that is needed..

Eh, why did I even work for this, you didnt even need it. confused.gif cry.gif

Oh well if you ever do, just remember this cool1.gif

I think he knows to to use the move triggers. And you dont need to center location on the powerups you can just put a location over it. And I have had trouble centering location on XTRA units.

Actually the powerup could be moved so thats why I went to the trouble of doing it.
