You could create a region at both ends and have them spawn there.

i have regions at both ends at ive made a startlocation for player 12 at both ends but will only spawn from the left :/

Just make 2 actions, and spawn the units at the regions not the start location

What do you mean "Starting Location" ?
Are u actually using a players starting location for this ? :S

Well, that's not the way to go... You should use variables for it, like this:

• Spawn from Right
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 30.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Center of Region 1 <gen>)
    • Set TempPoint2 = (Center of Region 2 <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 12 (Brown) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To TempPoint2
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

This is the trigger which moves unit from right to left
Then just change the regions and the player to make them move from left to right, or use this :

• Spawn from Right
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 30.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Center of Region 1 <gen>)
    • Set TempPoint2 = (Center of Region 2 <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 12 (Brown) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To TempPoint2
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 11 (Dark Green) at TempPoint2 facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To TempPoint
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Which will do both triggers in one

You can make it simpler than that I think, no need for the variables in the first trigger



EDIT: nvm, then it leaks
