By boundary, do you mean the edges of the map or any unpassable terrain in the map?

If you mean the edges of the map, just compare the x coordinate of the unit to the min and max x of the map.

thank you... could you please give me a demo?
one more thing, I don't know what exactly is min and max x of the map.
Like:

  • (X of p2) Less than or equal to (Min X of (Initial camera bounds))
  • (X of p2) Greater than or equal to (Min Y of (Initial camera bounds))
  • ________
  • (X of p2) Less than or equal to (Min X of (Playable map area))
  • ditto [Y]
  • ________
  • (X of p2) Less than or equal to (Min X of (Entire map))
  • ditto [Y]
I've tried all of them but it not work exactly

Actually, i've met this situation before. It's because you expanded the "Scenario/Size and Camera Bounds" to it's maximum. You could smaller the camera bounds to fix this. Hope it was helpful

you had met this situation before,so how you did it?
I resized it smaller but its not working. It's still trapped when reaches the vertical edges.

resize but it must have a little bigger "shadow path" (this shadow path is the key point, it'll not allow units to blink here (which the very black path behind the shadow path doesn't). or also some spell like Shockwave etc... could also help you avoid some bug in blink spells). With just a little of shadow path, it doesn't work also.
What i got the last time was... get stuck the hero unit with my custom blink spell...
If it's still not clear yet, i'll upload a screenshot

Well, it could be another problem, but i'm trying to help so...
I can't upload my screenshot on HW so i use another site...
Hope it'll show up
untitled.jpg

Edit: It seems to not showing up... here's direct link: Link
Edit 2: From the trigger at your 1st post... i think it's not that necessary... Just create a region, when this dummy leave this region (your playable map) you kill it and so the problem is gone

I've tried again. And this time, it's worked with the boundary.
