I want to have a unit with 4 actors attached to it. The actors should be created depending on the units around that host unit. It must check every side and corner: Top-Left, Left, Bottom-Left, Bottom, Bottom-Right, Right, Top-Right, and Top to determine the correct actor.

pseudo code

If (UnitX is TopLeft of UnitY) then {
attached Actor TopLeft for UnitY.
} else If (UnitX is Left of UnitY) then {
attached Actor Left for UnitY.
} 
etc...

Or if you compare the positions of each unit:

UnitYPos = Position of Unit(UnitY)
If (Position of Unit(X of Point(UnitYPos - 2), Y of Point(UnitY + 2)) == UnitX then {
attached Actor TopLeft for UnitY.
} else If Position of Unit(X of Point(UnitYPos - 2), Y of Point(UnitY)) == UnitX then {
attached Actor Left for UnitY.
} 
etc...

1. Is it possible to retrieve the unit's position in the event editor?

I thought it would be something like this:

UnitBirth.UNIT -> StatusSet Position (x,y,z)

2. Also, if that is possible. Is it possible to check if the unit is next to a different particular unit?

I.e. if the unit is next to a particular unit on the left side..

UnitBirth.UNIT -> Is next to Unit X, on the Left? Do...

3. Lastly, Is there a way to check a status variable of a actor through the trigger editor?

Thanks.

Hello.

I'm having trouble with using explicit rotation on an attached actor. Whenever I add SO_ExplicitRotateTest (see image) to the attached actor's Host Site Operations, then it will no longer follow the host's actor animations. It will still remain attached to the point I specified but will be completely still in place.

How can I use explicit rotation and also allow the attached actor to follow the host's animations. Thanks.

Is this possible in Starcraft 2 via custom script? I'm trying to load an external text file by using C but everything I type comes back as a syntax error.

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ifstream infile("filename.txt");

    return 0;
}

Is there a way?
