Please explain the map.

Wraith is created at where it was expected to be, but Terran machine shop isn't created well.

Wraith doesn't affect the bug.

Trigger looks like:

Code

Trigger("Player 1"){
Conditions:
Always();
Elapsed Time(At least, 2);

Actions:
Move Location("Player 9", "Map Revealer", "ddrr", "X");
Move Location("Player 9", "Map Revealer", "X", "Y");
Move Location("Player 9", "Map Revealer", "Y", "Main");
Create Unit("Player 1", "Terran Wraith", 1, "Main");
Create Unit("Player 1", "Terran Machine Shop", 1, "Main");
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

and the map looks like this.

Solved. Bug of location grid techniques.

(This seems to be in fact a bug of Starcraft. Starcraft is inconsistent for including right edge in the location.
But anyway, we cannot fix SC. So this should be regarded as a bug of location grid techniques itself.)

SC Location shifting works by the following way.
(Not exact code, but it works like this)

Code

width = location.right - location.left;
if(location.left < 0) {
location.left = 0
location.right = width;
}

if(location.right [b]>=[/b] mapwidth) { // right edges are included in location.
location.right = mapwidth - 1;
location.left = location.right - width;
}

In my map, location X has width 2048 (left = 0, right = 2048)
After move location:

- location.left = -1
- location.right = 2047

weird. So location main is centered at (1023, 1023), shifted one pixel up and left from the intended position.
Buildings created with triggers seems to snap to grid by flooring coordinates, so 64*64 box centered at (1023, 1023) is
( 991, 991 ) ~ ( 1055, 1055 )

After flooring by unit 32:
( 960, 960 ) ~ ( 1024, 1024 )

So buildings are built at some weird position.

Weird. Actually I myself had some problems with this in the past. Never really figured out what was happening, but I think move location works fine, it's just the problem of rounding, because 2028 pixels wide location doesn't have a middle.

Some.
