How do you push away units in BW Mapmaker

Map editor- scmdraft2. I want to make it so that air units (navy) cannot go on land. I could set a spawn location to make it so that if the units go on land they respawn to a different location somewhere in the water. However I would like to make it so that rather than respawning, the units get pushed away. Is it possible to do this? I'v seen the koreans managed to do this on some fish server maps. Let me know if anybody has any ideas.

this should do the job (unless players have superhuman mouse clicking speeds to overwhelm the trigger repeat rate of hyper triggers...):

Run hyper triggers (look on Staredit.net for instructions), Preferably make the whole coast medium or high ground (i.e. learn to properly blend terrain first... using ice terrain will offer you by far the best options, as it has water for both low and mid ground, allowing you to set up easy and flexible buffer zones along the coast; also get CHKDraft to check you terrain levels [also to be found on Staredit.net]), set location(s) on the coasts, set to only medium/high air [whatever your coastline is]). Set up another location somewhere nearby on the water. Finally make the following trigger(s):

if
[player x] brings [at least 1] [any unit] to [coast location]
then
order [any unit] by [player x] at [coast location] [move] to [sea location]
preserve trigger

Hyper triggers always work for all players, as they work on the simple fact that wait commands start a whole new trigger cycle.

Yes its possible to do, although it probably requires a lot of locations in a big map, unless im forgetting something.

Here is a simple way to do it with 2 locations and a desired effect with triggers, using terran wraith as an example:

Players: any option really, as long as that player is in the game or w/e. If you want it to affect all players, you can possibly use "current player." Although the game can only run 1 trigger per person so if multiple people bring a navy unit to the location, the game will deal with them 1 at a time using preserved triggers. Preserved triggers run at about once every 2 ingame seconds. You can speed this up with hyper triggers, so it runs at like 64 or 32 times per second, i forget which one is the max. In this case it might be better to have each player have their own set of triggers for this.

Conditions: Bring: Current player brings at least 1 Terran Wraith to Land Location.

Actions: [there are various options here]
If you want to just make the navy units disappear from land and spawn in a designated area, use this:

Move Unit: Move (1 or all or how many you want) Terran Wraith for current player Land Location to Spawn Location.

another option, if you want them to just simply move command out of the area is to use the Order action:

Order: Issue order to all Terran Wraith owned by Current player at Land Location: move to Sea Location.

Again, this can be sped up with hyper triggers so that it runs faster than a normal preserved trigger. You might need a lot of locations so that it looks smoothly depending on the map.

Thanks was very useful.
If you want to just kill the units if they go on land, just use "Kill Units at Location" action.
You can also get rid of the units and make them disappear with "Remove Units at Location" action and then "Create Unit" action.

About hyper triggers: I don't know everything about them, although a lot of people at staredit.net do.
Here is a wiki for them and other mapmaking stuff. A lot of your questions can be answered better and more thoroughly over there instead of teamliquid, unless I am wrong lol.
