Scarab as a skill

In my map, I am trying to make it so when you unload a unit, it'll move a scarab of a Computer player to Current player. I've got the transferring down, but I cannot get it to be given to the Current player. I have a trigger that says when you bring a scarab to the location the characters at, it'll be giving to the Current player. I can't tell if the scarab is mines though because on the map it doesn't have a color. Another note that might be useful, I have the Reavers attacking a unit that is blocked off by a Dark Templar, but it still should work the same way correct?
Another problem is when the scarab is transferred to me, it just flies towards the top left. Anyone know how I can overcome these problems?



None.

HERE's a topic that pretty much answeres everything.

Sure blocking the scarab works fine.

Scarabs Map
You can't give scarabs to another player, the only option is to have a computer player (that is in enemy status with the possible targets) control the scarab(s). If you don't want random, there is the Set Generic command...



None.

The only problem with using a computer is that the computer can sometimes splash you.



None.

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort

Oh_Man -- definitely EUD
