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.

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD
