GUI Race selection system

Nevanii · Mar 18, 2023

Sorry for such question but damn me I can't find such thread (although some time ago I found one and now it seems like it's gone)
Is there a GUI selection system for custom races? I can't find one (I need one in GUI, not Jass/vJass

Also another smaller question. I have a new custom race with a townhall. Will setting it in Game Constants make countdown ordering player to build a townhall not appear?

As for the townhall problem you need to go to "Advanced"-"Gameplay Constants"-and search "Techtree - Dependency Equivalents -Tier 1,2,3 Hall" and there you must add your new townhall

Will that make for example Orc race unplayable? Because it will automatically change orc town hall and workers to new grace's equivalents

Is there a way to make that selection to make all 4 standard races playable AND a new race?

that trigger will let you have the normal race and the custom one, you will be able to play as ice monster if you select orc and 90% handicap, else orc and 100% handicap will be the normal orc race

Nevanii · Mar 19, 2023

Umm what does the handicap exactly do? Never heard bout it. Was it like the thing that decreased hit points of player's units?

Nevanii · Mar 20, 2023

Also what are the regions in the second trigger?

that is the trigger that will replace the normal race with your race. If you can't make this trigger I'll help you but you need to wait the weekend

Nevanii · Mar 21, 2023

I'd be glad to hear out about this, since I don't know what these regions exactly do and where to put them (I only suppose that they should all be at starting locations)

Nevanii · Mar 24, 2023

I managed to get it to work using your handicap trigger (still don't know what is the second trigger doing) but even after setting new Town Halls in gameplay constants it starts the countdown to reveal the player.
is interfering with defeat/victory initialization trigger the only way to get it to work?
