Replacing Buildings wander around

[CaptainHero]

Did u notice that if u replace a building via the "replace" trigger.
The Replacement Building is moving a bit out of the way of the old one.
I guess it has to do with the old units Collision/Pathing Map..

So i can reduce it a little, with replacing the building with a Dummy Unit before, and changing it then to the intended unit again. (However keep in mind the Dummy Building Unit - should be a Building too, in case, you require buildings to keep you in game, it would be stupid if you loose, just because of a stupid changeroo..)

Anyway does someone have a better solution? Well in fact i don't really mind about it, the only time i worry about it if you exchange the first "main building" (for example if you implement a new race, so for example if you exchange the "Tree of Live" with a "Temple of Tides") So if this main buildings wanders a bit away from the goldmine, this could result in a disadvantage...

I know that "Blizzard" already implemented something, that the gold miners speed is adjusted a certain way to the difference in travel distance to the goldmine. So i hope even bigger distances are too..? Anyone knows something about this? Otherwise i will start testing...

Use chaos ability to convert building to another one.

Set tempPoint1 = unit position of unit1
remove unit1
unit - create 1 unit-type2 at tempPoint1
remove leaks
???

This is what replacing a unit does anyway, so you are changing nothing.

Ceday yes thank you! Chaos ability does the trick! Cheers

However if you want to use my http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/afk-protection-1-0-auto-start-1-0-ease-1-0-a-241757

it should look like this

Unknown (S00A)*Naga is Chaos (Check Dependencies: False)
New Unit Type Well of Life

*U would have to kill the Entangled Gold Mine, if you use the chaos ability
