Hi, how make triggers to stack buildings, i want stack hatcheries and i read the wiki (staredit.net/starcraft/Stacking)

i have 8 power generator stacked in hatchery location "h1", and 8 stacked hatchery in "center"
this is what i did:

Trigger("All players"){
Conditions:
Bring("Current Player", "Zerg Overlord", "1", At least, 1);

Actions:
Remove Unit At Location("All players", "Power Generator", 1, "h1");
Move Unit("All players", "Zerg Hatchery", 1, "center", "h1");
Remove Unit At Location("All players", "Power Generator", 1, "h1");
Move Unit("All players", "Zerg Hatchery", 1, "center", "h1");
Remove Unit At Location("All players", "Power Generator", 1, "h1");
Move Unit("All players", "Zerg Hatchery", 1, "center", "h1");
Remove Unit At Location("All players", "Power Generator", 1, "h1");
Move Unit("All players", "Zerg Hatchery", 1, "center", "h1");
Remove Unit At Location("All players", "Power Generator", 1, "h1");
Move Unit("All players", "Zerg Hatchery", 1, "center", "h1");
Remove Unit At Location("All players", "Power Generator", 1, "h1");
Move Unit("All players", "Zerg Hatchery", 1, "center", "h1");
Remove Unit At Location("All players", "Power Generator", 1, "h1");
Move Unit("All players", "Zerg Hatchery", 1, "center", "h1");
Remove Unit At Location("All players", "Power Generator", 1, "h1");
Move Unit("All players", "Zerg Hatchery", 1, "center", "h1");
Give Units to Player("All players", "Current Player", "Zerg Hatchery", All, "h1");
}

and this move only one hatchery instead of eight.

im looking for a method to stack hatchery via triggers because if i stack them with scmdraft they will come with full creep at beginning of the map. if there is another simple way to create stacked hatchery without creep ill be very thankful.

thanks

I think your problem is that the 'move unit' trigger keeps applying to the same hatchery.

You could either have the hatcheries at a location that has higher selection priority so move unit chooses from those hatcheries, or you could create a location around the hatcheries and move from that location to your destination or you could have the hatcheries initially start as one player, and move unit only for that player, then give them to the desired player.

I also think that you only need to remove one unit from the stacking area in a trigger cycle, so when you get it working you should try with just one power generator.

Possible that a larva (e.G. from the first teleported hatchery) blocks the location?
However, it really had been ages since I touched SC1-Mapping, but I remember a different behavior from Zerg structures in terms of stacking.
Try replacing the hatcheries with greater spires, and if that does not work, with command centers. See if it actually is the trigger's fault or some problems regarding Zerg.
See farty's solution below.

I don't have any problems in doing this...


The only thing I can think of is if you are trying to move them to unbuildable terrain or if any ground units are blocking the hatchery from moving.

Also it isn't exactly necessary to move the hatcheries, is it? You can always create them with triggers.

(I attached my test map)

thank you very much, now it works

but, i still dont like that method, im sure there is a better way to create stacked hatcherys.
anyway its working, thanks again.
