to make a location in the xtra editor or in starforge, right click on a blank spot or go to layers>location. click and hold from one point to another where you want it.
if you want to preplace it just choose it from one of the player folders, click it, then place it on the map.
to make a trigger for it, go to scenario properties>triggers. click on new>choose what 'conditions' you want for it to create>then for actions, select create unit.
select what unit you want it create,who many you want it to create, for what player, at where(location).

I know what a location is and how to make one. What I'm looking for is how to make a unit a location.

As in using the Center location command? Where you move the location onto the unit so triggers can fire at the marine position?
It would look something like this
So now you can do triggers that use the Marine Center Location and it will all happen there on that location that is on the Marine.
It would look something like this
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| Center the location on Marine |
| Players: |
| ¤ Player 1 (or whoever) |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Always (or whatever) |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Center location labeled 'Marine Center' onto Marine at 'Anywhere' |
| ¤ Preserve trigger |
So now you can do triggers that use the Marine Center Location and it will all happen there on that location that is on the Marine.

can you rephrase that a little bit?sorry if i'm not understanding you...are you trying to create a unit on a location?
once you create a location, you can use the triggers to place the unit in it.
we can call the name of location 'location 0' in an example
example:
Conditions;
-Always
Actions;
-Create '1' 'terran marine' for 'current player' at 'location 0'
this creates a marine first thing when the game starts.
once you create a location, you can use the triggers to place the unit in it.

Conditions;
-Always
Actions;
-Create '1' 'terran marine' for 'current player' at 'location 0'

No kaboom had it.. Its not making a unit a location its putting a location on a unit... Under stand the location follows the unit and to keep the location following it you just say peserve just like kabooms trigger

I did what you said Kaboom but i couldn't find the center location in the actions. Is it just me or my map editor?

It's called move location in the editors. People just use center location because that's what it sais in the trigger itself.

Will i need to preserve trigger to keep the location on the unit?
