You mean like to show it which direction to take when it comes to a location and keep telling it to do that? Until it reaches the next location?

Well I'm pretty sure it would do that to the middle one but I think you should just test that for yourself... I'm going with that the middle one gets converted first then it goes outwards into a spiral... Like the 'Create Units' trigger... But if you wanted to make patterns like the ones you did... You would HAVE to use either triggers where you want the explosions, or spaces. Or you could use the 'Move Location' trigger and have a burrowed Zerg unit so you only have to use one location unless of course you run out of burrow-enabled zerg units... Since you can't use one more than once or else your pattern will skew...

3 6 9
2 5 8
1 4 7
That's the order. Left to Right, and if at the same vertical pixel, bottom to top. For example, I once had a map where I had to remove wall by wall from top to bottom, so I just made the top ones 1 pixel more to the left than the one below it.

I just made a whole map about air unit grids not too long ago to show in which order units are created and detected I hope this helps.
If you have any questions about the map just message me or post here.
Also heres another map in which its direction is controlled through unit grids.

Your snake map. how does it work?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Kookster on 2006-04-02 at 19:43:07
well basicly it creates 9 mutalisk over the start spot, then depending on which way you want it to go, it will remove a certain number of mutalisk then center a location over that, then make a zergling, then repeat the process, simple idea, bit complicated, but nothing too complicated

What Editor do you use to create your maps?

this is a very complicated piece of material. The grid needs to be the size of explosion otherwise it wont work.

r[s]t, didn't the scourges help you ?
here's how it works ...
you snap 9 locations to grid on your heroe
create a burrowed unit at location "down" (for example)
then center those 9 locations not on your heroe, BUT ON THIS BURROWED UNIT
repeat the second & third untill you get dizzy
so the trigger for this will be like...
TRIGGER 1
players: human player-you
conditions: when you want it to fire
player has suffered exactly 0 deaths of "counter"
"fire at direction UP" is cleared
actions: set death of unit "counter" to 0
set switch "fire at direction"
preserve trigger
(this trigger turns it on)
TRIGGER 2
players: PC
conditions: switch "fire at direction UP" is set
player has suffered at most X death of "counter"
actions: create "burrowed unit" at location UP
SNAP 9 DIRECTION LOCATIONS TO THE BURROWED UNIT
remoove "burrowed unit"
create "wraith" at location UP
kill all units for players you want at locatino UP
add 1 to number of deaths of "counter"
preserve trigger
TRIGGER 3
players: any
conditions: player has suffered atleast (X+1) deaths of "counter"
switch "fire at direction UP" is set
actions: clear switch "fire at direction UP"
set deaths of "counter" to 0
preserve trigger
(this trigger turns it off)
PLIZ correct me if i'm wrong somewhere or if it can be done better or faster

I use nothing but SCMDraft2 best editor out there, i do use Starforge to move locations out of the map tho, but thats it. You cant top SCMDrafts text based trigger editor along with the classic.

yes, but to make the grid follow the unit correctly you must do it exactly as it's done here...

Why is that?
in the one in the map its
396
285
174 or soemthing like that...
Why does the center row get removed after the first row is made?
You'll have to create the center row again.
can you just remove one at a time?

i think this happens when you move locations & remoove units in the first row (123)
the locations "touch" the second row & it gets remooved allso.
