[SOLVED] Problem With Floor Gun Traps

Ok well what im doing is starting the map with a floor gun trap already placed and assaigned to player 1. Then when i initiate the trigger, The floor gun trap is supposed to move to the location i centered over myself (When on valid terrain). Obviously it is not working for me. I double checked my move unit triggers and they seemed good. Also, when i start the game, i notice that i cant see the trap on the mini map but i still control it??? Any ideas on how to fix this?



None.

You can't see traps on the minimap regardless, it's not a glitch.

Traps (the units, NOT DOODADS afaik) can only be moved with recall via arbiter.

Afaik doodads cannot be moved at all.

Is there a way to have the arb recall it to a point where the arb isnt? i would like to use that way as long as u dont notice an arb at that location if thats possible



None.

Arb recall moves units from the destination, to the Arb. However the recall animation itself only matters for the first part. Eg, when the vortex appears at the destination, there's a small delay before the units are transported to the arb. The instant the units arrive at the arb location, you can remove the arb - the recall animation at the destination will continue to play, but it is harmless and removing the arb at that point doesn't affect anything.

The timing for all of this is 14 DCs on fastest. Here's the old wiki page on recall (which I re-wrote, you can see the old one below): http://www.staredit.net/?p=oldwiki&s=94

Does that mean it's counted in real time, like waits? Or is it independent of game speed, like death counters?

Like any other animations and effects in the game, I expect it will scale with game time. It just works out to 14 DC on fastest. I guess it would be 14 DC on whatever game speed you're running, but slower game speeds = longer real-time speeds.
