Radius... How big is "1"?

[Saryeit]

So recently I have begun diving even deeper into the trigger editor than I have in the past, trying new combinations and commands that I've been too lazy (or scared) to try. I have asked myself this question many times, and since I could never find the answer, never bothered with it.

In a trigger editor, when Im doing an AoE for example, I need to supply a radius. However I don't know how big 1 unit of this radius is. I searched around and found nothing that answered my question. Would someone be able to tell me a formula, or give me a general idea of how large a single unit of the "radius" is?

My guess is that 1 unit = .1 of a point on the map when mouseovering. So to find out how large I want it to be, I could subtract the center point with a point on the edge. (I fail at explaining math, sorry!)

Thanks in advance!

Why do you need that anyway? If the unit has a pathing, meaning other units can't stand 'in it' or have 'clipping issues' with another unit, you don't need the radius. With a radius of less then 10 you'd probably be able to hit the unit. And I believe 1 footman's average model size has a radius of about 100 I guess. So 10 will easily do, even though I have no idea why you'd need that.

For the spell itself. I made a dummy unit that does damage on the ground.

• AoE Dummy ALL
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.70 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in BossDummyGroup and do (Unit - Cause (Picked unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 200.00 at (Position of (Picked unit)), dealing 10.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal)

EDIT: There is no malfunctioning code in the trigger or anything, I just need to know how much it equals.
EDIT2: And in the first post, when I use the term "unit" I'm referring to the unknown classification of measurement. (Unit instead of feet, inches, meters...)

1 radius = 1 point. You can look in the WE what AoE radius you need.

Really? When I tried testing that out it seemed like it wasn't quite that much.

Ill go ahead and test it again.

edit flame strike's area of effect. Setting it to say 100 will show a 100 radius when you go to cast it. The circle before you actually cast it. This might help you get a visual of what radius your looking for.

Its also quite easy to see without a spell.
Turn on the grid, the white lines (the middle ones) have a distance of 128 units, what's also the size of a single tileset texture
