Is it possible to detect when a unit turns, and slow it down (with burrowed units)? I'm thinking of a kind of acceleration concept with turns making you lose speed.

You can detect current movement direction using a [url=http://www.staredit.net/wiki/Grid_Systems]mobile grid (scroll down)[/url]. You just need to store the current direction and compare it with the next detection. If he didn't move to the same grid he has turned. But i guess this wouldn't work well as sc units don't walk/fly in curves. They fly in straights and have instant turns inbetween. So the slowdown would lag behind a bit as you cannot detect the actual facing.
