[Trigger] Help establishing an appropriate Computer for each player

[Marine]

solved

Take a 5 player game where each player has an allied Computer player, such that:

Player 1 (Red) allied to Player 6 (Orange)
Player 2 (Blue) allied to Player 7 (Green)
Player 3 (Teal) allied to Player 8 (Pink)

In a trigger, a Human controlled unit does an action (lets say, casts an ability). When this ability is cast, a Footman is created, owned by the appropriate allied Computer player. This function works for each player (Red, Blue, Teal, Purple, Yellow). I'd like this to be able to work without an If/Then/Else statement for each player. I've tried using Array Player variables and Player Group variables but have been unable to figure anything out. Does anyone have any ideas?

Use a player[array] variable. Initialisize the variable at start of the game with correct input:

• Set Ally[PlayerNumberOf(HumanPlayer)] = Player(PlayerNumberOf(AlliedComp))

So for example if Player(1) is a human player, and Player(6) is his computer ally -> "Set Ally[1] = Player(6)".

So when a unit by Player(1) would cast an ability you could create a footman for Player(6):

• Unit - Create a Footman for Ally[PlayerNumberOf(TriggeingPlayer)]

This worked, thank you!
