Staredit Network -> UMS Assistance -> Can you position locations ahead of units?

I know you can have locations follow units. What I want to know is if you can offset a location from a units. For example:
Lets say theres a marine at the point 0,0. Can i make the location be at like 0,3. and make it move 3 points ahead of the marine.
I don't know if this is possible. Theres no obvious trigger some I'm assuming your going to need many to do so and perhaps many locations. You guys have any idea?

You want to do some reading on mobile grid systems. I wrote a quick tutorial here: http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopi...04&#entry323604

Ya, I've done this for a while. I normally center an entire 9 unit grid around a unit and you can tell which direction they are going from that, and create future positions from that.
