Okay...here goes. I made a location 1x1 that follows a wraith. (Yes, I did use hyper triggers...preserve trigger....all of that). When that location goes to an egg, it's supposed to give the egg to another player. In fact, it does work (well, only on the edges of the "egg field")...with ONE problem. When i fly the wraith near the center of the "egg field" it doesn't give the units....can you figure out what is wrong? I know, i know....why are you advanced?! You're supposed to know!! Well...I have been playing cs lately so my map making skills are a bit rusty at the moment..... BTW here's the map...I'll post triggers up if needed...

Yea... nice protected map

Lemme see the trigger

Okay, here are the triggers in SF text trigger form: (Only including the main triggers.....)

Trigger One: Create Burrowed Ling (You'll see)
Conditions
Bring(Force2, AtLeast, 1, Egg, P1);
Bring(P1, AtLeast, 1, Wraith, P1);
Bring(P8, Exactly, 0, Zergling, P1);

Actions
MoveLocation(Egg, Egg, Force2, P1);
CreateUnitWithProperties(1, Zergling, Egg, P8, 1);
PreserveTrigger();
Comment("Create Burrowed Zergling");

Trigger Two: Change from p8>p7
Conditions
Bring(P1, AtLeast, 1, Wraith, P1);
Bring(P8, AtLeast, 1, Egg, P1);
Bring(P8, AtLeast, 1, Zergling, P1);

Actions
GiveUnits(1, Egg, P8, P1, P7);
RemoveUnitAtLocation(1, Zergling, P8, P1);
PreserveTrigger();
Comment("Break Ice P8>P7");

Trigger 3 & 4 are basically the same...except just some difference in string names.

Trigger Five: Kill Egg owned by P5
Conditions
Bring(P1, AtLeast, 1, Wraith, P1);
Bring(P5, AtLeast, 1, Egg, P1);
Bring(P8, AtLeast, 1, Zergling, P1);

Actions
KillUnitAt(1, Egg, P1, P5);
PreserveTrigger();
Comment("Break Ice P5>Kill");

Well, that's all the main triggers. THe other ones that I didn't include were hyper triggers and center location.

You'll have to dl the map and play it to see what I mean. Use the cheat "black sheep wall" in single player to see the egg field....or if you're too lazy just move your "wraith" UP.

maby you're location is for air units only..?

or... the location should be at least 2x2 because it is hard to tell, in a sc game, exactly where a air unit is (if you know what I mean).

The problem is that you cannot give an egg to another player...If you make it there then remove it then wait 0 millisecond then create it for the player it will look like it never left...you will need hyper triggers.

That's.....wrong...I'm not using lurker eggs....I'm using a regular egg. I can give em to other players...hmmm and 2x2 locations don't work.

Then i have absoloutley no idea

You can't create zerglings underneath other units even if it is being created burrowed. (thats why it only works on the edge, when it is over the edge the zerlging is displaced some)

Create the zergling elsewhere where you know it can spawn then move it to the spot. Burrowed units can be MOVED underneath others but not CREATED.

Thats your main problem i don't know if the apparent slow acting hyper trigger is a effect of that or something else.

What do you mean 2x2 locations dont work?

If it's to difficult you could try using different units, like an Uraj Crystal or Khalis? Crystal. I'm pretty sure you could do more than with eggs. Then again, I'm just an average mapmaker

But what if he doesnt want to use any of those?

ok, if a 2x2 location doesn't work, try a 5x5 location. If that doesn't work, there must be a problem with the trigger because I believe you can give a zerg egg to a player that doesn't own the egg.

The location size isn't the problem, you guys are compleatly clueless, yes you can give the egg away he already did it.

Am I the only one that noticed the loud ass Placement Error? Hello? Red Flag, unit can't be created.

PS. I had to stop myself before I started ranting too much.

Umm may i ask what u ment by that...I didnt here any loudass placement error...

When you fly the wraith over the middle of the zerg egg block you will get placement errors. This is because the trigger that is trying to create the burrowed zergling can't.

As a result of that the trigger that requires the burrowed zergling to be there won't fire because the zergling wasn't created.

This work on the edges of the egg block because the zergling can be created. (its displaced to the side of the eggs)

Oh okay thnx some times when you talk all smart i get confused

ADDITION: Oh and bolt i didnt know if you knew but your avartar doesnt show...

Yeah, i know. I had it linked to an attachment of mine since it was too big for the avatar attachment. After they hacked my acount it was changed and I havn't figured out how to change it back.

Well...thanks Bolt for solving my problem . You saved me sometime of further testing/experimenting. I mainly chose egg because it was fairly small and showed the most "color". Other powerups wouldn't really show color except on the minimap.
