how do I issue order? (special)

[MissKerrigan]

I only could choose between 6 start locations, I placed a start location at 1 of the squares this works fine but the other 79 units (were banelings but now it's random units) are moving in wrong direction

Switch from value to function. Use the function "position of unit" instead of the start location.

 

[MissKerrigan]

yes I am using the 'position of unit' but for some reason the banelings are still attracted to the start locations

Right-click the action and select copy as text. Paste it in here in a post.

I tried a different approach to the problem, a more "logic" one than "mathematical" one.

Name the region like in the picture and create a big region in the center called "Central square".
http://www.mediafire.com/?75dpnx5806u15s5

Create a Global variable array "Spawnin region[28]" and set:
"Spawnin region[1]"= region 1
"Spawnin region[2]"= region 2
"Spawnin region[3"= region 3
...
"Spawnin region[28]"= region 28

Then for spawn and move banelings crate a trigger:

Events
    Your event
 
Local variables
     selector = 0 <Integer>
      MyBaneling= no unit <unit>
 
Conditions
Actions
        Variable -Set selector = (Integer random between 1 and 28)
        Unit -Create 1 Baneling for player 1 1 in (center of Spawning region[selector])
        Variable -Set MyBaneling = last created unit
        If
           selector <= 14
          Then
                  Unit -Order MyBaneling to ( Move target (center of region Spawning region[(selector + 14)]
          Else
                    Unit -Order MyBaneling to ( Move target (center of region Spawning region[(selector - 14)]

Then for remove banelings crate a trigger:

Events
     unit leaves region "Central square"
Conditions
       Type of triggering unit= baneling
Actions
       Unit - remove triggering unit from the game

Those triggers are very simple to write and are short.

That's a really smart way to do it. It requires 3 regions less than my solution and it's overall a lot nicer.

Good work!

Tnx!

 

[MissKerrigan]

ye good work but I don't get it... damn!

I placed the number of regions in a special order so we can have two cases:
-If the baneling spawns in "region 1-14" its detination is "region (current region+14)"
-If the baneling spawns in region 15-28 its detination is "region (current region-14)"

Talking about removing banelings i noticed that when a baneling enters it's destination region it is like it leaves the center of the map. So i created a big region in the center (central square) and i made a trigger that removes the baneling when it leaves the central region instead when it enters the destination region (the case is the same).
