Map making.

[Dragoon[BbG]]

Currently I'm making a defence map and when I have all my selectors working. All my units that your defending against spawn, but when I try to make them move across the map where they should go, they just teleport. So I tried making them move backwards but then they appeared in the right place, just wont move.

My map is tank D with a cliff band down the middle and the units run next to the cliff while u snipe off. Very basic but need help. I'm using Brood War, if it matters.

Did you MOVE them to the other side of the map, or Order them?

You should order them to do it.


But I am not exacly sure, as it has been years since I have used teh Starcraft Editor.

I hope this is the answer you wanted.

"Move Units" in SCEdit. Then it asked for locations.

Oooooookay. Thanks a bunch.

Another thing about the order action you should know: the 'attack' order often bugs, so, when you can, use patrol instead.

The problem with making them do a patrol order is that they will attack the first enemy that they run into, and not the ones that are firing at them. If you place a building in front of 3 marines and 5 lings patrol to that area the lings will attack the building first, not the marines. This is used in the Raccoon City missions.

Which is why people use patrol a lot. Units will actualy respond to melee attackers running around nearby.

Won't they do that in Attack mode too?

 

[uberfoop]

no, they dont. If you send melee attack units at eachother with attack, they just like run by eachother.
