is there anyway for a trigger to recognize a lurker egg/cocoon ie
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| Center Egg |
| Players: |
| ¤ Player 1 |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ bring exactly 1 lurker egg anywhere |
| Actions: |
| ¤ center location egg on unit lurker egg at anywhere |

I don't get what you want. Do you want to know if you can center a location on lurker egg/cocoon?
If so, then it probally is possible. I'll try it out later.

Is the lurker egg already placed on the map or do you have to bring a hydra there and morph it?

I suppose it's placed already. Is it not recognizing it because it's for an unused player? Such as inactive or one without a start location?

its not preplaced. im trying to make it to center on the unit when it is being created.

You cannot create these kinds of 'X-tra' units with triggers. You will need to preplace them then move them to the proper location.

yes you can create them. im talking about actually making them via morphing from unit to unit. i just want to know if they can be recognized/how. and if they cant why not.

You cannot use the create trigger to make the X-tra units. They just won't come. I might not remember correctly but I was making a map where the egg was supposed to trigger a row of blast but it never worked so what I did was to make the morph last very little and when the lurker came it activated the trigger. So, I don't think it can reconise it.

no one is answering my question but i have used the lurker morph in its stead.
i know triggers cant place those units.
I WANT TO KNOW IF THEY ARE RECOGNIZED THATS IT!!

i guess ur too lazy to test it...well i've tested it n it recognized. I morth to a lurk n the location centered on the egg.
ADDITION:
It works when i do the condition "Always" but it doesnt work when i do "Bring"

Yes, they can be recognized.
The "Command" and "Bring" trigger conditions with a Zerg Lurker Egg unit owned by the correct player will be satisfied when a Zerg Hydralisk unit is in the morphing state to acquire a Zerg Lurker unit. Build time for the Zerg Lurker unit must be realistic so the condition can detect the Zerg Lurker Egg unit fast enough. Locations can indeed be centered on these special units.

i finally got it to work thanks for your help everyone. here is a little map i made up quickly using it just for fun basically. i also had to use a switch.
anyways im using this in a current map im making so id appreciate it if people lay off the idea for a little bit. i had been using lurkers to make this trigger work properly but now i will be using the egg. again thank you
edit: why cant they be recognized by the bring or command trigger?

i remember like in 1.12b don't know if it still works i made a lag tester the trigger was "x" player brings at least 1 egg--and the action
the trigger worked that means it detected it
other trigger i had preplaced eggs and the trigger was
"x" player brings exactly 0 eggs---it was a banner trigger and it worked too
new trigger with preplaced eggs "x" player brings at least 1 egg --disable all egg
and it worked too
when i got to combine all of them and tried to kill the disable egg it crashed
*/add that to crash list if SEN has one if not some one should start one\*
getting to the point is that i think it can be detected

They can. If they can be centered on, then the bring, and definitely the command triggers would work.

it still isnt working quite right :S here are my triggers for starforge
does anyone see any problems with this trigger. ive used it with other units and it has worked perfectly
CODE
Always();
MoveLocation(xplo, Devourer/Guardian Cocoon, P1, Anywhere);
PreserveTrigger();

I don't see anything wrong with the trigger. Attach the map, it'll help. Maybe you made a mistake that you didn't catch.
