Well I have a problem in my defense map where u defend with ground and air units against ground and air units.. u can wall the ground units so they never reach the end. Does anyone know a good way to stop that without blocking off the path?

one way i'd suggest is to have the shooters on a seperate platform then the runners.
like so:
__________ < shooters
======== < runners
__________<shooters
make a space so they arn't able to block.
what you could do is have the units "attack to" the end location. and make the wallers have 1 hp so they arnt able to wall. i wounld not suggest that however, if the trigger messes up, it will kill all the units for the defender.
if you really wanted, you could set out a grid. or make rows of locations that if they bring a certin number of x units to the location, it'll move them somewhere so they arnt walling. for example: have a 1x12 verticaly and if they bring lets say 20 marines to there, they'd have to be walling. you move all of them. and display NO WALLLING.
you could also trust player one to ban the players that wall but most poeple wont pay attetion to that

Make a location along both sides of the path and if th player brings units to that location have them moved to another location, middle!
[center] or [/center]
You could make the units have an attack (low) and have life that can be attacked for the players and if they block they will start attacking. Then they wont block!

HEY! 7-7 you just gave me an idea.
ok combine both ur ideas. what do you get? this:
when you bring a player to the tops and bottms of the row, disable invincabilty and you will only lose those units. and of course make the comps attack to the end.

Kurz991, you basically need an area where the computer's units can go, but the player's defending units cannot.
A good example of this is in "Defence F", in that map you can build a maze of bunkers/turrets to defend against ground and air units, but you can't just wall. The edges of the paths are unbuildable:

You would need a thousand triggers and locations to make sure that your plan doesn't screw up 7-7. You should just have the defenders non-invincible so the units will only attack when blocked. Having locations on the end of rows would take forever not including going over the max locations... The longer the route of the units, the harder... The idea sucks basically.

no you need 1 trigger and 2 locations for each player.
have one long location at the top of the row, and one at the bottom.
then the trigger would be as follows
conditions
-always
action
-disable invincbility for all units at 'location X'
-disable invincbility for all units at 'location Y'
-perserve trigger
thats all you'd have to do. that simple. then of course the comps will have to 'attack to' the end location, now this way the players cant wall.
and pyro, wtf are you talking about?

You could just move any unit for the player that moves onto the course path and then do Kenoli's idea.

well all your ideas invlove adding locations and alot of triggers to stop the walling so i guess i will make it move people who go onto the track back into the middle...
thanks for trying to help everyone!
