Forcing Race Change

[Kam]

Simple scenario.

I want to only use two races. Currently I simply have set player values so you can't change your race, which means some people might not get the race they want.

What I would like to happen is this:

Player chooses NE in lobby, spawns human starting units ingame without a prompt screen or anything. Now I can easily do this with "unit enters map, replace unit," but that won't make the sounds be race specific - meaning the "need more gold, under attack, building complete, etc."

Is it possible to accomplish that?

if you random in the lobby then i dont think its possible, but you can change all the gui setting to make orc identical to NE or human identical to UD, then just make the starting units with a trigger. Dont get me wrong, its a lot of work, but i think that would be the only way to do it.

That's not really an option, doing that would mean having to import the sounds under the path to over wright the existing sound - the map file size would be immense.

Man i really dont know then, if you access the map archive, you may be able to disable some races, but it would be super advanced stuff and i really have no idea how you would do it, but im sure it can be done.
