Note that if you click to do the spell on a single unit.. they will no longer spread.. ;X

Updated. Firstly my host went shit on me and they lost everything and had no backups and I had no copies of the pictures. I redid them and uploadded them to photobucket now.

Updated a few stuff like the box size of ground units, and the minimap thing.

People were asking bout it on PGT forums so I updated it, sorry for reviving :D

thx skyglow1 to have reference me

you have made a really nice job to explain it.

ps: i am not sure but i think some ground of unit like only tank have a bigger square than only templar and mixing type of unit in a same group can change that ( i only remember that it s not hard to figure how a group of mixing type work )

i never thought that the unit ai actually used a box ... but i know that if you click a far away destination/target then the units will either spread cast or move in formation ... until they get within their "box" distance of the target (if you told them to move)

Okay when trying to spread storm against lets say Hydras, where do I click? To spread them, you have to click on land. But then if I click on the land, that means that very little hydras would be hit even if you try to get it near them because only the edges of storm will be hitting, not the absolute center of the storm. I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say and please don't falme me if it sounds newby

If their hydras are say formed in a solid vertical line, you arrange your 2-3 templars in a line too, as far apart as possible but still within the box. Then you click storm on a piece of land in somewhere within his wall. I'll make pictures of it if you want.

Hmm are you saying that lets say I got 4 overlords and I gave a move command to the other side of the map, they will move in formation even if theire formation exceeds the limits of the box in the first place? I did some tests and even if you use move command to far away they clump and move towards that target because theyre exceeding the box limits.
