right, i need to make a region follow a unit, so that every .5 seconds it centers itself on the unit. It won't do it, says the region has to be a veriable, and when i make a region variable and have it set it to the region i desire during the map installation. Does anyone know how to get this to work, is there a tutorial and has anyone used this trigger before

Please help

For example
Initiate variable
Set region(region variable)=Region centered at (Position of(Triggering unit)) with size (512,512)

For move use Region:Move command
Region- Center region(the variable) on (Position of(Triggering unit))

But why dont u just use the unit within range event?

I need it to be a region so that multiple units can be the target

i usae pick each unit in unit group units within range of triggering unit and do action because ut forms a circle instead of a square and is more accurate. (after you do this just use event response - picked unit to designate the unit)

yeah, but i needed it to work for doodads

anyway i've got it to work (damn imprssive code as well)

It's to make a working, in-game hungry hungry lizard which you control.


take a look on the thread before this one to see what i mean, you mind be able to adapt the code to help you

thx for all your help!
