• Initialization
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set WIDTH = 14
    • Set HEIGHT = 13
    • Set _initialPoint = (Position of Summer Tree Wall 0000 <gen>)
    • For each (Integer _widthLooper) from 0 to (WIDTH - 1), do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • For each (Integer _heightLooper) from 0 to (HEIGHT - 1), do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Point(((X of _initialPoint) + ((Real(_widthLooper)) x 512.00)), ((Y of _initialPoint) + ((Real(_heightLooper)) x 512.00)))) facing Default building facing degrees

ill also attach the test map

Works fine, just you are placing the grid off the top of the map. The grid reference corner (lower left) is placed at the top left of the map.

North -> Positive Y
East -> Positive X
South -> Negative Y
West -> Negative X

The following kind of makes a grid of footmen

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set WIDTH = 14
    • Set HEIGHT = 13
    • Set _initialPoint = (Position of Summer Tree Wall 0000 <gen>)
    • For each (Integer _widthLooper) from 0 to (WIDTH - 1), do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • For each (Integer _heightLooper) from 0 to (HEIGHT - 1), do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Point(((X of _initialPoint) + ((Real(_widthLooper)) x 512.00)), ((Y of _initialPoint) + ((Real(_heightLooper)) x -512.00)))) facing Default building facing degrees

Changing the Y axis step from 512 to -512 makes the grid appear fully on the map.

Alternatively you could move the reference point to the lower left of the map.
