My Concept is that When you use ur grenade it centers location on the grenade and creates explosions. my problem is that the grenade is an infested terren and it suicides. so when it centers it centers on nothing, which means it creates the explosions in the middle. can someone help me out here in getting it so that the epxlosion wil center where the grenade blew up. thanks

You'll need to use Hyper Triggers for this.
If you're using this for a map where you are a sole unit (like a zombie shooter) there is a much cooler method I came up with that uses a scourge instead of an infested terran. Basically whenever you ordered your marine to move, the scourge would follow the marine, but whenever you ordered the scourge to move it become unselectable and 6 seconds later it would explode. It'll take me some time to set it up so I'll only post it if you really want it.

What the first trigger is doing is only centering the location when you actually own infested terran. So once your terran kills itself, the location stops trying to center itself on a unit that doesn't exist and just stays at the last spot the terran was located.
The second trigger checks to see that your infested terran has killed itself. If you don't have one, and you haven't had one killed, that means that your terran has attacked, so the grenade effects take place at the last spot the terran was before it died.
I added the create grenade action because without the second trigger will continue firing over and over. You'll have to tell me how people aquire grenades for me to make it specific to your map; my method above assumes that you will always get a new grenade after you use the first one.

How do you use them? Do you like unload a unit from a dropship and then an Infested Terran gets created on your main character?

Because it's the method I used in my map with the scourge thingy. Anyway here's what you do. Basically I added a Death Counter to show when you started using a grenade.
Note: If you don't make the Infested Terran invincible the grenade will fire if he gets killed.
