For my last special unit on my map, i want it to be a controlable storm
Example:
STORM>>>Create obs, Kill obs, preserve trigger.
Then maybe 1 observer you control can move around wherever you want and the storm follows it.
Any ideas on how to make it work?

| Trigger |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Always |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Move Location 1 to (storm controller) at anywhere |
| ¤ create 1 (explosion unit) at Location 1 |
| ¤ Kill 1 (explosion unit) at Location 1 |
| ¤ Effects of storm here |
| ¤ Preserve Trigger |
This should work, but you can't have an observer controlling it and being the unit dieing or else the observer might die and it would be annoying selecting the new one over and over.

have a location always centering on you "storm controller"
then make a trigger that goes as kumano said

Doesn't have to be an observer dying. Could be something else, I suggest ground unit because then it would spawn right BELOW the air unit controling it.

[attachmentid=13195]hmm didnt really work. I tried several methods or the storms stays or the storms moves to the left, but not controlable. Plz download my map to see whats wrong. I commented the trigger as STORM.

Uhhh, I think you didn't make the comment right because I didn't find any commented triggers, but the problem is that you made the trigger center it on the observer at 'obstest2' when it should be anywhere (observer might go out of it when it moves, but it's not the actual problem now that i look at it, could just make it bigger as an alternate solution) You made the explosions at 'obstest' when that location doesn't center anywhere....

Ok I didn't fix storm in your map because I use SCXE for triggers and and it deleted a lot of units. But storm trigger however is most easy. It contains from 2 triggers.
1st trigger moves location on observer
Player 1 is human player that controls your storm.
2nd trigger creates storm effect.
Player 2 must be computer or neutral player.
You should handle the killing stuff for yourself as I am not familiar to your map. I also added those 2 simple triggers in case there is a problem. [attachmentid=13198] Simple add your location to those triggers.
1st trigger moves location on observer
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| move location |
| Players: |
| ¤ player 1 |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ always |
| Actions: |
| ¤ center location "storm" on observer owned by Player 1 |
| ¤ preserve trigger |
Player 1 is human player that controls your storm.
2nd trigger creates storm effect.
| Trigger |
| Description: |

Uhhh.. why does it need 2 triggers? you can just put move location into the second trigger as the first action.

k i don't know if this is what you wanted but here have a map that i made in less than a minute
you can change the unit explosion and you can increase the observer sight range and speed
i made it easier, i divided the triggers in steps read the coments first and follow them
have fun
NOTE: with air units it will appear not right in the middle of the location because the observer is already taking that place

WOOOW. I wake up, go to the site, and its a hot topic (duh 
). So many replys and effort shown.THNX guys
As for the comment,ugh my bad, must have add a comment but forgot to save my map.
DEAD: Im using Xtra editor(2.5) as well, special mode. Maybe you were working in a another mode, thats why units get deleted.
Corbo: Great looking out, stuff worked and was easy to understand, it should be added to the tutorials.
Shatter: Yup checked the last post from my last topic darkswarm. Since you were so kind to do it in my map, im sticking with your method And yours is the cheapest way
All i have to do now, is to make a timer for it. So you get enough civs, you choose the stormunit, and you can use it for like 10 seconds. Or maybe you hurt only so many units with it, then the stormunit disapears for 5 minits or so, then reapears. Well you know,still gonna be tough one though.
ADDITION:
ok timer is done lol

NEVER use Special Mode... Use Alternative if you still want to be able to place buildings where you cant normaly place them... In Specail the units will get messed up and wont place

Well, its my idea and it is 2 triggers. 4 steps? You can even make it in 1 trigger. There is no need in tutorial, it is to easy. I don't really understand what was whaaaaat02's problem. Changing unit's owner is most easy.
OMG man you are not real
!! The map you posted has exactly the same triggers I posted before. Some stuff that is lame. 1-archons are ground units so you will get a lot of warnings in a real map.
2-changing location "anywhere" to "En cualquier lugar" is too confusing for a tutorial.
3-step 4 "Thanks Corbo!"? Man that isn't even your anything.

The whole storm was your idea? Im too lazy to check, but ill believe you. My problem with making the storm controlable was that , just switching the owners like you said didnt work for me. I dunno why, maybe a conflicting trigger.
They might have stolen it from the "dude who made the storm up"(DEAD?) but I was just thanking them for the effort.
As for archons making errors, well not yet in singleplayer, but the real deal is on battlenet, so i dont know yet. Damn just made some bound stuff, for de super duper weapon:P in my map with infested terrans, Damn blizzard an their patch. or is it just the building infested cc. i dunno

I am sorry for getting mad about this stuff
. I just hate when this guy post the same stuff I posted few posts above and make it look like his genius who w/e.... 
. Archons will make errors when storm goes on terrain where ground units can't go. Or where other ground units already stand because archons are pretty big.Report, edit, etc...Posted by whaaaaat02 on 2005-08-24 at 16:33:41
ok thats cool oh yeah, i just recall i changed the Xplosion effect to an air unit
Im gonna post my wobbly errorly map in the Maps in production section, Im gonna also ask if anybody could help finish my map. This due to time, and especially in need for some "talent". You are ofcourse welcome DEAD.
