[General] Pathing affects location?

[Death Adder]

Unlike units structures have specific pathing instead of just a circle, does this affect the location? E.G unit's have circles so they've got radiuses -> equal distance in any angle from center to edge but structures have specific pathing so their 'location' could possibly be affected by this?

The pathing maps don't affect the "location" of it, just where units can walk and where things can be built. When you place a building, its location refers to a particular coordinate (x, y). The pathing map is centered on that coordinate.

So if you have a 10x10 pathing map, it'll center around that point and extend 5 units in each direction (north, west, east, south) to form a square. To see it more clearly, you can press "P" to enable pathing viewing and place any building. You may occasionally encounter something with uneven dimensions for pathing, e.g. 6x8, but it can still be centered on the building's location (3 units west/east each, 4 units north/south each), so there aren't any problems with that.

For some more info on pathing maps, see:

I may have misunderstood your question, though.

I think you understood it, It's just that somehow structures get misplaced even though their locations should be spot on and it differs even though it's just some simple loops i use to create them. So I wondered if it maybe had something to do with the center of a structure being affected by their pathing map unlike units because units always have circles for pathing.

it actually can affect it, create paesant on map and try build building, you will see it needs to be alligned into invisible squares, most likely of size 32
the same goes for destructables in editor
maybe try setting flag of the building Is Building to false in object editor to see if it helped

If you read the trigger you can see that all the relevant numbers can be divided by 32, and starting locations are placed like buildings in the editor.
