So I know how Mobile grids work and all, but I'm not quite sure about the differences in unit sizes themselves. Basically I want to move something half a square down, so I need a 0.5x0.5 mobile grid.

I know there are no flying units that small, and scourges do not form a perfect grid, so I was wondering if anyone knows how to make a perfect something-point-five-by-something-point-five square grid. If I could do that, I could just do subtraction to effectively get a 0.5x0.5 grid system going on.

Thanks!

Fortunately, I know that this is possible. Unfortunately, I can't remember which units.

Trying going down 1.5 using Devourers and then up 1 using alternating scourges and observers.

According to this tutorial, Devourers are 2x2, so that wouldn't work.

Perhaps I should try Mutalisks. I seem to remember them forming in a nice square form.

I was looking at the Wiki
http://www.staredit.net/wiki/Grid_Systems#Mobile_Grids
I don't know which is correct, I haven't had a use for mobile grids in a long long time.

EDIT: I just did some measuring and I'm positive it's 1.5

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Devours create a 1.5x1.5 grid like mutalisks and guardians.
The old wiki was just wrong.

You can create a 0.5x0.5 grid using devourers for 1.5 steps and scourges+observers for the 1x1 steps.
It uses more units but it works well. You just need to pay attention that you don't get to close to borders.

The only way I can truly think that would work would be to create a grid off of another one, this should get near to the correct spot, it'd take a bit of testing though...

Scourge/obs is 1x1. see attached map.
Ahli's works, but leaves out right next to the center.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
