[Solved] Declaring victory when all enemies are defeated

[SerenityInFire]

So for my map, there are two modes: Top Vs Bottom and FFA. For Top vs Bottom, how do I set it so that one team wins when all players on the other team are defeated? For FFA, how do I set it so that one player wins when all other players have been defeated? I have currently set up a trigger so that a player is defeated when all of their units have been destroyed.

When you say altered melee, you mean it's using the default melee initialization actions alongside your map changes?

Default melee initialization except for the default melee victory conditions. I'm using custom town halls, so the default victory conditions would reveal everyone's location right away.

I'm not experienced with setting up melee matches but I'm wondering if the default function could be hooked and altered. There's a series of functions called to initialize melee per race from blizzard.j:

//===========================================================================
// Starting Units for Human Players
//   - 1 Town Hall, placed at start location
//   - 5 Peasants, placed between start location and nearest gold mine
//
function MeleeStartingUnitsHuman takes player whichPlayer, location startLoc, boolean doHeroes, boolean doCamera, boolean doPreload returns nothing
    local boolean  useRandomHero = IsMapFlagSet(MAP_RANDOM_HERO)
    local real     unitSpacing   = 64.00

    local real     peonY
    local unit     townHall = null

    if (doPreload) then
        call Preloader( "scripts\\HumanMelee.pld" )
    endif

    set nearestMine = MeleeFindNearestMine(startLoc, bj_MELEE_MINE_SEARCH_RADIUS)
    if (nearestMine != null) then
        // Spawn Town Hall at the start location.
        set townHall = CreateUnitAtLoc(whichPlayer, 'htow', startLoc, bj_UNIT_FACING)
      
        // Spawn Peasants near the mine.
        set nearMineLoc = MeleeGetProjectedLoc(GetUnitLoc(nearestMine), startLoc, 320, 0)
        set peonX = GetLocationX(nearMineLoc)
        set peonY = GetLocationY(nearMineLoc)

        call CreateUnit(whichPlayer, 'hpea', peonX - 1.00 * unitSpacing, peonY + 0.15 * unitSpacing, bj_UNIT_FACING)
        call CreateUnit(whichPlayer, 'hpea', peonX + 0.60 * unitSpacing, peonY - 1.00 * unitSpacing, bj_UNIT_FACING)
        call CreateUnit(whichPlayer, 'hpea', peonX - 0.60 * unitSpacing, peonY - 1.00 * unitSpacing, bj_UNIT_FACING)

        // Set random hero spawn point to be off to the side of the start location.
        set heroLoc = MeleeGetProjectedLoc(GetUnitLoc(nearestMine), startLoc, 384, 45)
    else
        // Spawn Town Hall at the start location.
        set townHall = CreateUnitAtLoc(whichPlayer, 'htow', startLoc, bj_UNIT_FACING)
      
        // Spawn Peasants directly south of the town hall.
        set peonX = GetLocationX(startLoc)
        set peonY = GetLocationY(startLoc) - 224.00
        call CreateUnit(whichPlayer, 'hpea', peonX + 2.00 * unitSpacing, peonY + 0.00 * unitSpacing, bj_UNIT_FACING)
        call CreateUnit(whichPlayer, 'hpea', peonX + 1.00 * unitSpacing, peonY + 0.00 * unitSpacing, bj_UNIT_FACING)

        // Set random hero spawn point to be just south of the start location.
        set heroLoc = Location(peonX, peonY - 2.00 * unitSpacing)
    endif

    if (townHall != null) then
        call UnitAddAbilityBJ('Amic', townHall)
        call UnitMakeAbilityPermanentBJ(true, 'Amic', townHall)
    endif

    if (doHeroes) then
        // If the "Random Hero" option is set, start the player with a random hero.
        // Otherwise, give them a "free hero" token.
        if useRandomHero then
            call MeleeRandomHeroLoc(whichPlayer, 'Hamg', 'Hmkg', 'Hpal', 'Hblm', heroLoc)
        else
            call SetPlayerState(whichPlayer, PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_HERO_TOKENS, bj_MELEE_STARTING_HERO_TOKENS)
        endif
    endif

    if (doCamera) then
        // Center the camera on the initial Peasants.
        call SetCameraPositionForPlayer(whichPlayer, peonX, peonY)
        call SetCameraQuickPositionForPlayer(whichPlayer, peonX, peonY)
    endif
endfunction

I think if you altered the existing town hall seen here: set townHall = CreateUnitAtLoc(whichPlayer, 'htow', startLoc, bj_UNIT_FACING) aka the default town hall (per race), it could solve the victory condition issue.

Is there something special about an altered melee? Is it not possible to preserve certain settings if you made a trigger?

Thanks for the help! Your idea to alter the existing town hall lead me to the Gameplay constants tab where I replaced the default town halls in the "Tier One Town Hall" field and now everything works perfectly with the default melee victory conditions set.
