Change player to a different player

[Solu9]

Also a great title.

I have a trigger checking if both of the two player slots are occupied by human players.
If not a tutorial of the map is initialized.

The problem is that this tutorial is designed for player 1, and only 1.
So if the player chooses the second player slot the tutorial will not work correctly.

So is there a way to change the player to player 1 in case he started the map alone and in the "wrong" player slot?

just make an integer array for player. on init set that integer to the number of yourself and run the tutorial for player[playernumber]. It looks so simple doesn't it? a simple indexing.

edit: As far as i know you can't change the player, but you can SWITCH.

I don't think there is a way to change player slot.

For your tutorial, for every (Player 1) in actions use a variable TutorialPlayer.

Hm yeah I better go with the player variable. Since I only planned to have 2 players play this map I just went with Player 1 and Player 7.
So changing Player 1 in all the triggers might take a while. But I'll go with that approach.

Can't you make a trigger to define who the game host is? If there is no player 1, player 2 becomes the triggering host? I could of swore I was just checking a map (custom race map) where one of our current authors does this.
