Ok i will be brief. I am trying to make it so when a dark archon MindControls a unit, It shoots out somthing. Say You mind control a Hydra, It will shoot 6 hydras diagnoly to kill the units. Same goes for the other units you pick. I didn't know a key term to write this in, in the turtorials or if it is possible. I have never seen it so i would like any help or input on it.

What do you mean? Six hydralisks appear in a line and squirt acid at any units around them? Six hydralisks appear in a line temporarily and everything they touch dies? Up to six hydralisks on the ray joining the dark archon and the mind-controlled hydralisk die? Do you want to have a version of Tux's gunner system V2?
Please give us a bit more detail in your description.
Look up grid systems in the tutorials.

A good point. What i mean is When you mind control The hydra It dies. And it shoots 6 hydras Diagnolly "Blowing up". Than the hydra respondes. Or maybe Just mind control it, But make it not die and stil shoot them. Either way i want to knwo if this would work.
I looked at the link. But that isn't quite like what i'm looking at. Same basics kinda But mines with a Dark archon.

I read what you asked briefly so I'm not sure if this is what you want, just always center location1 on your dark archon - current player brings 1 hydra to anywhere, center location2 on hydra, create 1 protoss observer got computer at location 1, order protoss observer at location1 to location 2, center location3 on protoss observer (preserve trigger) - always create 1 hydra at location3, kill at location3, wait 1000 milliseconds.
and if you still want the hydra just do - computer brings 1 observer to location2, stop creating and killing hydras, then create one for p1 at location2, then order it to location 1
And make sure the ob has increased speed

Mind control it, center location (bad guy) and give back to the enemy again... should make a missle coming out of the dark archon and following to the (bad guy) unit.

Humm, i shall try these. I hope it works. But i'm not sure if thats what i want

Probably will work, nobody done this before.
ADDITION:
Here's an example... (Bad Guy = Location)
Trigger 1:
Condition:
Current player controls 1 Terran Marine
Actions:
Center Location on Terran Marine at Bad Guy for Current player.
Current player gives Terran Marine at Bad guy to Computer Enemy.
(Make anything here, explosion, missles, and stuff)
Missle following Bad Guy.
Preserve Trigger
Trigger 2:
Conditions:
Brings Missle to bad guy
Actions:
Kill any unit at Bad guy.
Preserve Trigger
Maybe it needs hyper triggers too... I'm not sure.

I think this is one of those things where if you need to ask how to do it, then you shouldn't be trying.

I think the concept is too difficult to learn on a heart beat then turn around and create anything worth while with it. Anything you compleat wouldn't be your work at all, it would be composed of triggers people made for you.

Heres what you do. ( I had a talk with snipe to understand his layout )
[] <-- Dark Archon
[1] [2] [3] [4] <--- The units You've selected. (i.e. Hydra, Marine, Medic, Zealot)
-------------- <-- Lane
[ o ] <--- Target
Put a location in each box where the units are that you've selected. Also have a location following the target (patroling ling) named "target". For the first box containing a hydralisk with the location "1", make a trigger that looks like this.
Always have a location centering on the units that fire when one of the units you've selected is mind controlled. (i.e. center location labeled "Scout" on scout owned by current player at anywhere.)
The units you are trying to defend against die whenever in this location.
Theres your fireing system.

I thought he was doing something quite differant. Like no traviler unit IE scout and a specific angle instead of towards a unit.

Thats the same thing as mines, scout is just missle, but I was thinking like explosion missles and interceptors...
ADDITION:
Anyways, I made that trigger up in the first place, and snipe doesn't thank me for credit...

Your absolutely right. I didn't see your post before I replied. Sorry,

You cannot order nukes, unless that generic command blah blah blah works like scarabs do. - Never tried.
ADDITION:
I also found a cool gridding system. If you freeze units, when you move them they cannot overlap, so they spawn next to eachother, and you cant see them, but they exist. You can center locs on units and make grids - nifty - I'm thinking about making a new spell system using it and some other stuff that can easily crash SC... Hard part is playing around until it does not crash.
