Center View

is the trigger you are looking for, but the downfall to using it is that your mouse pointer will be always centered in the exact center of the screen.

Only if you are in 1-player mode.

Make a location constantly center on the unit, and have a trigger that continues centering on that location. You should use hypertriggers, but if you don't put a wait before the centering, then the jagged movement of the screen is very annoying.

I find it more annoying to have a wait there, since it has to move farther each time.

Note the other difference that in Single Player, CENTER VIEW pans the screen relatively slowly to the selected location, whereas in multiplayer, the screen snaps to the location instantly.

This can affect certain visual effects where you are trying to mask a change of map position (panning across the map can ruin effects).

You forgot that it also acts as a wait while it is panning, and since it takes so long it's a great way to detect one-player mode or not.

That's only in 1-player mode.

Edit: whoops, someone already said that.

Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city
