Help with a system

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to make a trigger that will function like the one in werewolf transylvania. The basic steps are:

1. First night a random player is chosen.
2. That night and each night after the the hero for the chosen player is replaced with another hero.
3. The replacing hero is a different color and hostile to all players, but can be controlled by the chosen player.
4. Each morning the player loses the new hero and gets their old hero back.
5. The levels, items, etc of both heroes are saved when not in use.

Any help? Even an example of a similar system would be helpful.
 
Okay. First off, you will need to set the unit, or the builder, owned by the player into a unit variable with an array size of 1.
If the units are pre-placed, use this:
  • Set PlayerBuilder[(The player number of the owner; if the owner is Player 1, then make the value 1 here)] = Builder 100x+10y+z <gen>
If the units are created via triggers, use this action after the action that creates the unit:
  • Set PlayerBuilder[(Same as the first example)] = (Last created unit)
Okay, let's say that there are six players.
  • Set PlayerBuilder[1] = Builder 000 <gen>
  • Set PlayerBuilder[2] = Builder 001 <gen>
  • Set PlayerBuilder[3] = Builder 002 <gen>
  • Set PlayerBuilder[4] = Builder 003 <gen>
  • Set PlayerBuilder[5] = Builder 004 <gen>
  • Set PlayerBuilder[6] = Builder 005 <gen>
Make sure all of the players are enemies with the 7th player, or the player you will place the Werewolf in.
